President Biden thread

Published

Wow.  No one has started such a thread yet?

After promising that most K-8 students would be in schools in the first 100 days,  apparently Joe is afraid to lead on this and has drastically scaled back that goal.

Instead, we're shooting for about half to go to school at least one day a week,  by the end of April.

President Biden Morehouse College Graduation Speech

 

 

I watched that this morning.  

It's odd to me that republicans keep telling us that Biden is incompetent and can't string two sentences together.  Day to day evidence paints a different narrative, one of an old, but cognitively intact man with empathy and experience and honor.

Here's the part of Biden's Morehouse speech where he calls for "immediate ceasefire" in Gaza.   IMHO, he's efforts to demand to know plan for Gaza invasion, cease fire and plan for Gaza afterwards has postponned Israel direct invasion.

He did sound clear and coherent.  Probably a good idea to address Gaza and the protestors outside, but it felt like he made it more about himself and his accomplishments and a campaign stop rather than making it about the graduates.

"When I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic and what happened was, Barack said to me, 'Go to Detroit! Help fix it,'” Biden said."

incorrectly stated Pandemic-- meant 2009 recession when auto industry almost collapsed, saved by Treasury's bailout under Obama

What is your point?  The Post is ranting again.  Who did step in to ameliorate the loss of auto jobs in Michigan besides Obama?

I want making a point. Simply sharing.

And, Obama wasn't the President during the pandemic.

I think the point is to try to make it seem like Biden is a crazy or as confused as Trump is so they can pretend that it's a hard choice when choosing between Biden and the guy who lied about a pandemic and tried to overturn election results.  I think that effort might necessitate using media outlets like the Post and ranting opinions.

No. Biden really thinks that COVID was here when Obama was president LOL. And that garbled speech pandering to the black graduation students where he self flaggulated himself to gain back the black vote because Trump is favored over Biden in that demograpic by saying the US doesn't love black men. 

He's either lying or in a mind trip. Where he thinks it is the pre civil right era. A common symptom of dementia.

No.  Anyone who is paying attention knows that like many Americans I have many reasons to vote for anyone over Biden.

Sometimes the NY Post is needed as a source as other media covers for Biden.

I've already explained why I think your assessment of Biden is garbage.  Nothing has changed.  The repetitive Trumpian rhetoric only supports my view.
