President Biden is the first President in many decades to be faced with so many foreign and domestic problems. On the foreign side we have Putin’s ego and dreams of rebuilding the Russian Empire. Xi’s promises to bring Taiwan back under the Chinese control and expand their military power into the South China Sea. Kim Jung Un has been trying to get attention by exploding nukes and firing many missiles. The Middle East is always a lit fuse with countries being our friend when they need help and unfriendly when it serves them. Add to those Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Venezuela. The crime and instability in the Central American countries are causing millions to need to leave home and try to immigrate to the United States.

            Thanks to Trump, Biden is dealing with the most fractured society since 1860. Americans have been conned into believing all the country’s problems are the responsibility of the other side. The left is told their problems are from the economic factors which are against them. The right is told their problems are the result of big government, race, immigrants, inflation, “Big Lie”, and taxes. The right is so strong in gun rights and conspiracy inspired fears that militias are gaining members. Mass shootings are caused by those fears.

            Economic issues are clouded by supply disruptions, Ukraine War, shortages, inflation, and a myriad of other issues which the pandemic is still affecting people.

            Add climate change impacting weather causing drought, fires, storms, hurricanes, heat and rising oceans, and a large portion of people who don’t see it and the causes. While trying to cut carbon emissions, America is going to be the world’s biggest supplier of LNG.

            These are just a few of the problems Biden faces every day but the world is depending on American leadership to put things to right again.

            It requires a higher than average self-confidence and ego to want to be President of the world’s most powerful country. Carter was an example of a big brain and small ego. His chance of a second term was ended by the Iran Hostage event. Eisenhower was happy to retire but both parties pursued him to take the job. He had plenty of confidence but didn’t really want the job so his ego was almost non-existent.

            Reagan had both with some administrative experience as Governor of California. It is the same with Clinton, with above average smarts. Obama was very smart but lacked the administrative and legislative experience of recent Presidents.

            Bush I may have had the deepest amount of experience of any previous President. He knew how government worked and was friends with most world leaders. A few phone calls put Desert Storm Alliance together. He was a true moderate in the Republican Party.

            Today we have a President that may be almost as knowledgeable as Bush I. President Biden was retired from the Senate and still grieving the death of his son who he wanted to be President. The party stalwarts talked him into running again to stop the left wing. He had the experience to bring back bi-partisanship and put the country back on track. The pandemic war shows he believes in following expert advice, reactivating relations with the rest of the world’s leaders, and fixing our economic problems.

            With Biden we have the Carter ego and the Bush I moderation and experience. Most of Americans, and the rest of the world, are happy with the return of stability and reliability.
