I think I have had enough politics for 2020 and it would have been a better read in a year or two. At least, I hope so.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-1014693226312742522020-12-09T19:21:31.370-05:002020-12-09T19:21:31.370-05:00He is a good writer.

The page count is a bit daunting.<br /><br />I know we'd have done better on the pandemic with a Democrat in the White House. Biden has his work cut out for him, but I'm looking forward to competent leadership for a change!<br /><br />Thanks for reviewing, Jen.

I cannot tell you how much I wish the Obama/Biden administration had been in office to handle this pandemic. Sigh. Thank you for reviewing.

I know I would like it if I could really dive in but the page total is a bit daunting! I'm glad you're enjoying it though. Thanks for reviewing! :)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820350511791595345noreply@blogger.com
