Biden’s 1st month was about erasing the mark of ‘former guy’

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Joe Biden is a month into his presidency and at least one pattern is clear. “The subtext under every one of the images we are seeing from the White House is the banner: ‘Under new management’,” says Robert Gibbs, press secretary for President Barack Obama. “Whether showing it overtly or subtly, the message they are trying to deliver, without engaging the former president, is to make sure everyone understands that things were going to operate differently now and that hopefully the results would be different, too.” In executive actions, Biden reversed Trump’s course on the environment and placed the Obama health law at the center of the pandemic response with an extended enrollment period for the insurance program that Trump swore to kill. After 40 years in Washington, eight years as Obama’s vice president and two failed presidential campaigns before his successful one, Biden has had a lifetime to think about how to get rolling as president. “You had the former guy saying that, well, you know, we’re just going to open things up, and that’s all we need to do,” Biden told his first town-hall meeting as president, this past week.
