A view from the lower west terrace door as preparations are made prior to a dress rehearsal for the 59th inaugural ceremony for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on Monday, January 18, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
Former President Barack Obama in his memoir noted that singer Aretha Franklin’s showy hat and a glitch in Chief Justice John Roberts’ administration of the oath of office got more attention than his speech in the days following the first Black president’s address, delivered as the nation was mired in recession and a growing malaise over two intractable wars.
“It is entirely possible that this inaugural is one we remember for generations to come, because of the gravity of this moment” said David Litt, who served as an Obama speechwriter and wrote the comedic memoir, “Thanks, Obama: My Hopey Changey White House Years.” “But I also think it’s possible that the signature speeches of the Biden administration come at less expected moments and that would be par for the course.
Ari Fleischer, who served as press secretary for President George W. Bush, said there are still ways that Biden’s speechwriting team can continue the tradition of honoring the peaceful transition of power by simply giving a nod to the past presidents and Vice President Mike Pence, who are expected to be at the Capitol for the address.
“Don’t dwell on today’s difficulties. Focus on tomorrow’s answers,” Fleischer advised. “Soaring oratory is just not Joe Biden. The effectiveness of his speech is going to be much more about what he says than how he says it.”
In today's multipolar🌍🌎🌏people, in all countries, including US🇺🇸are is an urgent need to exercise: individual& social responsibility & united cooperate to SAVE LIVES, DEFEAT COVID19 &work in recovery.
Never.
This be Chimerica yaw, Check check it 👇what yaw needs ta naw bouts speak'n Chimericaneese....
Oh good lord lol
Unite against fascism or perish
Think he’ll stay awake ?
A President who has to stand behind u,triple layers of police and soldiers to be Inaugurated. Hope he does not wet himself.
Well he’s already dropped the ball on that.
Unity Unity Unity hell biden is the biggest divider in the country all he does is race bait in every statement he makes his hypocrisy is astounding Nancy needs to go ahead with the plan to remove china joe because I don't think Harris would be as divisive
How do you unify a nation so polarized over race ? Trumps “terrorist “ storm troopers want to kill all and anyone who opposes them!
He will never unite anyone. He’s a flip flopper.
I'm thinking Lincoln's second inauguration was a contender, though.
Even with all that's going on, how awesome would it be if the inauguration crowd for Biden was larger than Trump's 🤣
Anyone remember the PUMAs ? Saying the words without the deeds to hold those accountable responsible...is empty rhetoric.
katyperry calls for restore DEMOCRACY to the American people by replacing Senator-Representative-Governor-Mayor with renewed assemblies made up of US CITIZENS chosen by lot for 1 month giving entitlement to compensatory allowances ( $110 / day ) + job training & accommodation
To use that old phrase from the past 'Biden is no FDR' not by any stretch of the imagination. When Hillary lost the election, the Democrats went on a rampage of revenge successfully dividing the nation for years, perhaps decades. Unity, Biden is delusional.
Unity! 🤣 This ⬇️
Unity is currently a crackhead dream
No unity without justice.
LMAO !!!
President Trump is the only person who can unify the country within , Joe Biden has already invited 10K people at borders and unite them but will never be able to unite Americans.
Unification is awesome. We need justice 1st. Our Capitol was assaulted and people died. And the perpetrators are still plotting. We can’t sweep it under the rug with the rest of the misdeeds of WhiteSupremacist HoldInsurrectionstAccountable! From trump to all who helped.
Was referral to military in room by Pres. a joke or a hint? Not telling what this meant? Is not constitution forbidding military in DC? Military's dictatorship? What if?
Nope, the very first thing Biden needs to do is apologize for spying on the Trump campaign. That’s just for starters.
Biden is no FDR unless you compare how much the media is hiding from the public
As long as the government works for the wealthy & steps all over the working people & the poor there will be no unity.
HA! What a lie
How is he going to do that when ex amount thinks he is a career criminal and dear old Joe thinks they racist terrorists
MAGAts be like, oh good, we still have a chance to sweep the terrorist attack on the Capitol under the rug.
Unity ((cough)) that’s been on display for four years. I’ll pass
Why should we unify with communist white liberals, black criminals (redundant) or bootlicking zionist white conservatives? Break up the US its beyond time
No unity without accountability. If you lay down with a scorpion, don't be surprised when you get stung.
Don't kid yourself. He's done nothing but, divide his whole life. That won't change. He's part of the problem. Along with you. You all hate America so much, yet you won't leave to where you think it's better.
Do you think they’ll learn anything from FDR’s success or just go with the neoliberal garbage we’ve been trying for 40 years? We all know it’s the latter.
Beijing Biden is ripping off another speech.
There is no unity
We want justice FIRST!
Well how about the bias news media stop dividing us? What do you think is that something you can do?
Oh f- off already. There’s no unity being offered here. Just subservience to Dem rule.
I dont think that is true, this all feels self perpetuated and rather material. We are all Americans, people are too focused on the fringe that has always existed. Just take care of those in your proximity and be kind to those you encounter
We need unity, but we're also in dire need of: Accountability- for the Coup participants & sympathizers, and crony criminals; Compassion- for the children in ICE Cages; Logic & science- to defeat COVID-19; Reason- for bipartisanship to move forward; Sanity- to end Trumpism!
Yeah right! Who do you people think you're fooling? You've all been caught plotting against POTUS You all belong in prison!
U can’t united people party who can’t want unity but want it their way or the highway. Stop being naive
stand down with the propaganda your doing nothing but adding fuel to the fire
Putting 25 000 soldiers on the city streets and persecuting anyone who might have had any loyalty to Trump sounds very reassuring and unifying.
Unity? Naive.
He can shove the “unity” crap, they have no intention of working with anyone but the lunatics in their own party....
I don't want unity with fascists and white supremacist, I want them arrested and told in no uncertain terms they aren't welcome.
HarryShannon Yes and yes. But you had me at “recovering mansplainer,” lol! 😘
He could just plagiarize FDR. Won’t be the first time for Him.
It will be difficult to unify around a president who wasn't elected.
Let's not, however, downplay that the economy was melting the fuck DOWN when Obama came in.
He has called 75 million Americans terrorists he can take his unity and shove it until he starts acting like he wants unity.
May the force be with him!!
Remember hippies, we need to stay classy.
Biden: Have nothing to fear but opposing views! We must come together in lockstep. In order to heal we must have our opposition heel. We must be unified under one view or you will be deplatformed and labeled unemployable. Join us, or be cast aside. Welcome to my administration!
Biden is notorious for plagiarism. Makes sense...
'You have much to fear, and I'll make sure you hear the reasons to be afraid all day ever day.' That quote doesn't have quite the same ring of American spirit to it.
We must unite now after you have incited racial war throughout our country for the past 6 months? Give me a break.
Presidents are elected, the 30K National Guard Troops there to protect his installation as leader is a clear sign of that the people don’t see him as a President. -We The People
I’m sure JoeBiden will plagiarize that as well.
🖕🖕🖕
No unity without the maga cult being denounced by the gop
Handlers? Hmmm. Caregivers?
🤣
But the left has caused all of this with their non stop violence harassment attacking any and all that disagreed with them. Damn shame this country went banana republic over crooked politicians.
Well he can ask for unity. But he is not going to get it.
The party of race baiting wants unity?
Lmaoo the arrogant assholes who have been calling everyone nazis and white supermacists for 4 years want to heal what could go wrong 🤡🤡🤣
Hahahahahahahaha yeah right.
Putting Americans last in all his policy decisions will not create unity
no unity with either corrupt party
