I have yet to watch it, but am anxious to see it now for Biden’s stuttering alone. Yes, politics aside, I believe seeing someone in his position stutter on a national stage while running for PRESIDENT is so inspiring! My 1st grader stutters severely. He came home from the first day back on campus today upset because classmates were already mocking and teasing him. I have to tell my mama-bear self to take a deep breath, as I am seeing red. I literally just finished emailing his teacher about it when I read this post. I absolutely tell my son all the time that he can do and be anything. He can be MVP of the World Series (George Springer), he can be a famous actor (James Earl Jones, Emily Blunt), he can be a pilot and real life hero (Sully Sullenberger). I would love to tell and show him that he can be President some day, as well.
