Barack Obama actually said...
Joe knows that the first job of a president is to keep us safe from all threats, foreign, domestic, or microscopic. When the daily intelligence briefings flash warning signs about a virus, a president can't ignore them. He can't be AWOL. Just like when Russia puts bounties on the heads of our soldiers in Afghanistan, the commander in chief can't be missing in action. I can tell you this. Joe Biden would never call the men and women of our military suckers or losers. Who does that? He knows these -- these heroes are somebody's children, somebody's spouse, somebody's dad or mom. He understands that. And he's going to restore our standing in the world. Because he knows that America's comes from setting an example that the world wants to follow.
Context
