Jamie Stiehm in dailyherald: Biden begins June with a rise and a fall, the first a big deal, the second, nothing to fret about.
The president just had a rise over congressional Republicans in the debt ceiling crisis and a fall at the Air Force Academy -- one big deal and a small one.
Biden gave a good speech at the commencement in Colorado Springs and shook more than 900 cadet hands for hours up in the mountain air. What matters most was his heartfelt message to future military commanders about their role in defending our democracy."I told him that we'd work with our partners to begin training Ukrainian pilots in Europe on fourth-generation fighter aircraft, including the F-16, so Ukraine can defend itself today and in the future.
Taller and slimmer than he appears on screen, Biden still walks the halls in his beloved Capitol with a beam on his face. To me, that is the signal part of his presence, the broad smile that betrays American optimism. Historians say the sore body politic is more inflamed than ever since before the Civil War. The House of Representatives puts that truth on display every day, in a war on civility.
The numbers speak louder than words. More House Democrats than Republicans voted for the debt ceiling deal. A third of the majority House Republicans voted against it. That party is a divided house within a"House Divided."
