I take issue with Francis X. Maier's dismissal of both of our presidential candidates as “embarrassments to our system of government” in the March 22 issue. 

Joe Biden is a man of faith, a family man, and a longtime legislator who has helped our country return to a productive nation after the pandemic, and much more. Though not a perfect person, he does represent many good qualities not evident in the other candidate.
