As usual, the news media has committed a lot of time to the issue of segregation in the form of Kamala Harris' attack on former V.P. Joe Biden's statement. However, it is a non issue because Biden has a record as a long time U.S. Senator and former V.P. opposing racism and supporting humans rights. But in today's political world negativism is on top of the news media's mind.
And as a result one of Biden's position if he becomes President was overlooked and received no publicity at all. It has been the most important statement of any Presidential candidate. Biden said if elected he would bring our troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan and end those wars. Our troops have been in Afghanistan since 2001 and in Iraq since 2003. Of course, President Bush told America and the world the U.S. accomplished its mission in Iraq in 2003. Yeah, right. Our men and women in uniform have paid a heavy price for all those years. America's work is finished there and those two countries should be able to protect themselves after so many years of American training and no more Americans should have to die there.
Joe Biden has the experience to handle the Presidency if he is the democratic nominee and wins the general election. He also has the diplomatic capabilities to work with America's allies and deal with any threats from America's adversaries. He has a positive political record to run on and the political understanding that is necessary to run government. Biden will be a positive candidate while the news media will continue their silly reporting.
