Joe Biden is inaugurated

It is hard to describe the feeling of relief seeing Joe Biden sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.

He looked pretty good for his age, but I hope very much that four years from now he's handing over to Vice President Kamala Harris. Poor Joe, he's wanted to be president for decades but what a hell of time to start! 

The COVID pandemic is out of control, the economy is in deep trouble and there's horrible political division. About 2/3rd of the Republicans believe the election was rigged. Then there's longer term stuff like coping with climate change and the rise of China.

I believe he's too old for the job. None the less, no matter what he does, he'll be better than Donald Trump. As for the ceremony itself - Biden's speech went on too long and the country singer was rubbish (surprise surprise). But Lady Gaga (I'm not a fan) sang really well and the poet wasn't too cringy either. 

Let's hope President Joseph Biden is as good as his word and restores some sanity to the White House.
