How will history assess President Biden?
Mired with low approval ratings, the president said this week he believes history will be kinder: "You know, it will take time to feel the full impact of all we've done together," he said in his Oval Office farewell address this week. "But the seeds are planted, and they'll grow, and they'll bloom for decades to come."
Over the course of his four years, Mr. Biden has invited comparisons to the policies and ambition of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson. He has said John F. Kennedy partially inspired his life of public service. Roosevelt's portrait hangs over the Oval Office fireplace with paintings of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. Their achievements, triumphs and public words are the kind most commanders-in-chief would emulate.
