Biden Says Goodbye with Boasting Letter of Self-Praise, Celebration, and ApplauseSimon Kent 15 Jan 2025
President Joe Biden issued a farewell letter to America on Wednesday ahead of his departure address. The self-regarding missive highlights what he claims is a legacy built on personal examples of leadership, strength, willpower, triumph over adversity and commitment.
Calling himself “a kid with a stutter from modest beginnings in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Claymont, Delaware” who rose to the highest office in the land, the octogenarian now wants Americans to build on that personal example.
Biden touted resilience during the Chinese coronavirus epidemic and its associated economic crisis as exemplars to highly regard, arguing “we came together as Americans, and we braved through it. We emerged stronger, more prosperous, and more secure.”
The Hill notes some of the other bragging issues seized on by back-patting Biden:
He touted the improved economy, including inflation coming, wages going up, and the job market rebounding since he took office. He also touted top accomplishments before leaving office, like that infrastructure is being built across the U.S. since he signed the bipartisan infrastructure law in 2021 and the U.S is leading the semiconductor industry since the CHIPs and Science Act he signed in 2022.
The president outlined that he “beat Big Pharma” by lowering the cost of prescription drugs through the Inflation Reduction Act, which he signed into law in 2022. And that he protected veterans exposed to toxic materials through the PACT Act he signed in 2022. He also celebrated that he signed a bipartisan gun safety bill, took steps to fight climate change and that violent crime is down.“I ran for president because I believed that the soul of America was at stake. The very nature of who we are was at stake. And, that’s still the case,” Biden wrote.
