The Real Biden Presidency Emerges

[Whodatsaywhodat.]

Biden expressed optimism yesterday as the top two Democrats in Congress seemed to leave the door open Wednesday to ultimately reducing the $3.5 trillion price tag of President Joe Biden’s plan to boost social and environment programs.

The A.P. reports, "The leaders seemed to suggest what many lawmakers and analysts have long predicted and progressives fear — satisfying moderates may well require shrinking the measure, perhaps by hundreds of billions of dollars. They spoke as 13 House committees have begun writing pieces of the bill, an initial step leaders hope to complete by next week."

Asked if he would back a less costly measure, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said, “We’re going to all come together to get something big done. And second, it’s our intention to have every part of the Biden plan in a big and robust way.”

The emerging, massive legislation is a cornerstone of Biden’s domestic agenda that would direct much of the government’s fiscal might at helping families and combating climate change. Democrats hope to finance much of it by increasing taxes on the wealthy and corporations, another sore point for moderates.

The irony is, seemingly violating common sense, Biden's approval rating is dropping dramatically.

No one, not American intelligence, not the Pentagon, no one foresaw the sudden collapse of the Afghan army, an army trained and equipped by the U.S. over the past twenty years. Sure, there are voices now, but not before the withdrawal of our troops. Monday morning quarterbacking does not count, and, yet, despite the most successful evacuation in American history, Americans are blaming Biden for the chaos caused by the sudden surrender of the Afghan army. It almost as though Americans thought that a withdrawal after 20 years of war combined with a massive evacuation would be a walk in the park. They blame Biden because it wasn't.

The sudden surge of the pandemic is being blamed on the delta variant. 95% of the dramatic increase in hospitalizations and deaths is among the unvaccinated. States with the highest number of unvaccinated citizens are Republican-led states. Who do Americans blame? Answer: Democratic President Biden.

The jobs report for August was disappointing, only 235,000. There is little doubt the relatively low number was caused by delta surge among the unvaccinated. The total job creation in the first seven months of the Biden administration is nearly double any prior first-year President. The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell sharply last week to 310,000, a pandemic low.

Biden is also being blamed for his managing of the economy.

Perhaps it is time to cut our President some slack.

As Much slack as you gave the last president .

Stock market is doing great. Adding tons of jobs. Economic growth is very positive. People's bank accounts are healthier.

Only because the fed has been funneling money into it.

My stocks have stayed stagnant for a year now

 

[BlueGin]

Adding "tons of jobs"? Where? Jobs that were destroyed by shutting the economy and coming back are not adding anything.

And people are now leaving jobs due to the vax mandate.

 

[The Original Tree]

Biden will go down in history as the most failed President in history...

Also the only president to have failed 3rd grade, plagiarized all sorts of other people's work, taken credit for things others did, openly admitted to bribery and extortion, magically appeared at historic events he was never at, and is not only a hair sniffing creepy kid fondling weirdo, but is just plain stupid and imo, an illegitimate puppet.

 

[The Original Tree]

That is a ludicrous statement. Adding hundreds of thousands of jobs in the first eight months of the Biden Presidency is adding hundreds of thousands of jobs.

Once again, a Trump Republican is attempting to deny reality.

There is no such thing as adding a job that Faux Xiden and the DemNazis deleted through their Radical Fascist Neo DemNazi policies based on a fictitious and trumped up Faux Health Crisis.

You're kidding....cut our President some slack? After what Democrats did to our previous President, Biden is lucky he hasn't been shot yet.

 

[Rawley]

Sure, but that person has to be confirmed by a majority vote in the House and the Senate, and once Harris becomes the prez she will not be the tie-breaking vote on anything. So, if the vote is 50-50 to confirm Harris' nominee to be the VP, then he/she will not be confirmed and will not be the next VP. So, until someone is confirmed the democrats don't really have a majority to do as they please through reconciliation.

Interesting point.

Really? Was it the Democrats or did Trump do it to himself?

You are talking about a guy who thought it was a great to inject disinfectant to combat viruses, and to this day lies about the results of the 2020 election.

Your choice of heroes should be reexamined.

 

[WTH_Progs?]

When you replace competent with demonic-dementia because the orange-man left the left severely butt-hurt.

You're believing your own propaganda. That's pretty stupid.

They hang onto that same propaganda long after the sane have shoved it to the side of the road.

trying to make up for jobs lost is not adding new jobs. It's trying to get back to what it was. He gets no credit for that.

Everywhere i go i see 'HELP WANTED' signs and 'NOW HIRING' and no one steps up. been in the stores lately? Not just grocery stores. clothing stores, department stores, shoe stores. I haven't checked out furniture stores. Floor stock is PATHETIC. We seem to be going into shortages....whether actual or faked. THAT"S what i give Bident credit for.

Below is part of an article in Politico that deals with Joe Biden and his Administration:

After a lot of happy talk over the past half-year, the real Biden presidency has emerged. It is not a colossus bestriding the political universe, rather a middling administration, at best, that will have trouble imposing its will even on its own party in Congress.

Biden was always fundamentally a default president, elected in opposition to Donald Trump and initially buoyed by the contrast to his outlandish predecessor, who ended his time in office in the worst manner possible.

Now, he’s lost his foil in Trump, who is still issuing harsh and thunderous press releases, but isn’t driving every news cycle or occasioning mass protests against him in the streets.

The best case for Biden was that he could ride in the slipstream of good economic growth and a receding pandemic, beaten back by the vaccines that began to be administered before Biden took office. Instead, the labor market is still rocky and the Delta variant has surged, leading to headlines about overstretched health care systems that most people assumed that we’d left behind in the spring of 2020.

With his honeymoon gone, with Trump less of a factor, with economic conditions and the state of the virus not as favorable as expected, Biden had been stripped down to a more natural level of support and sliding in the polls since around June.

Then, he made the first major, historic decision of his presidency, and completely botched it. Biden has tried to deflect responsibility for his exit from Afghanistan onto Trump and his execrable deal with the Taliban. Yet, the decision to quit when he did and how he did was all on Biden.

He hasn’t shown a hint of doubt or regret. The notion of leaving Afghanistan is popular in theory; the way Biden did it is radioactive in practice. The White House may tell itself that Biden’s decision will come to seem farsighted, and its possible that the harmful political effect will wear off over time. BUT:

Leaving Americans behind in a foreign country after an enemy of the United States swept to power and chased us out with our tails between our legs, though, is not likely to be forgotten, certainly not in 2022 or 2024, if ever.

The prime directive for any president is, to the extent possible, to seem in control. Biden failed this test repeatedly during the evacuation crisis. Events moved faster than he did and his rationales for what was happening had to be constantly revised, until he settled on the explanation that it is impossible to end any war in good order.
.

The most notable feature of the resulting Biden drop in the polls that has him underwater in both the RealClearPolitics and 538 polling averages is his awful standing among independents. In a recent Washington Post/ABC News, he was at 36 percent approval among independents (and 44 percent overall). A new Economist/YouGov poll has him at 35 percent among independents (and 43 percent overall).

The article goes on to discuss the razor thin margin that he has in the Senate and only slightly better in the House, and not everybody is on-board with his high-spending proposals. On their side, the moderates want less while the progressives want more, and each side is saying they won't support anything that doesn't give them want they want. Lowry (the author) says that Joe Manchin is telling people that will only support $1.5 tril out of the $3.5 tril that Biden and the progressives want. So, will the dems pass anything at all, even through reconciliation where they only need 51 votes? And hw will that affect Biden's presidency, where nobody is happy on their side or ours either.

And no mention was made of the disaster on the southern border, with so many people coming into the US, some of whom are infected with COVID or are undesirables, maybe even terrorists. Off-hand, I can't think of much of anything that the Left can point to and say well, he's doing a good job at that. And the guy has no energy, he looks really old and tired, and can't get through some days without calling a timeout. A lot of people are thinking that he ain't the one calling the shots in the WH, cuz he's just not up to it. At least sometimes, anyway. Lowry says the Biden Administration is middling, but I'm not sure it's even that good.

The ‘enemy of the United States,’ above, is a religion. Those untested trafficked across the Mexican border are genuflectors. POSPOTUS JoeXi is a catholic-CIA puppet who speaks with forked tongue.

Those gaps on shelves are signs of communism. Chinese communists knew right away that their virus RaTG13 would target obese and elderly Americans. POSPOTUS JoeXi and the Arab son, Obama, funded Duke-NUS Singapore before RaTG13 was discovered.

Yeah his job report was way under the expected.

Lol, you just proved how ignorant you are. Still believing that talking point? Bless your heart!

 

[colfax_m]

Yeah his job report was way under the expected.

And the one before that was way over expected.

If we had more vaccinated, it would have been better.

Why because Biden is trying to get them fired?

I take exception to the bolded part of this statement....

Why inflation threatens the middle class

Buffeted by slow growth and too few decent paying jobs, Americans now have to deal with more inflation, writes Peter Morici.
