The dire language is meant as a call to action, but it's also a deliberate effort to temper expectations. In addition, it is an explicit rejection of President Donald Trump's tack of talking down the coronavirus pandemic and its economic toll.Chris Lu, a longtime Obama administration official, said the grim tone is aimed at "restoring trust in government" that eroded during the Trump administration.
It's all part of Biden's pledge that his administration will "always be honest and transparent with you, about both the good news and the bad." "Maybe they're picking a number that's easier to achieve, rather than the number that we need to achieve. I would urge people to be bolder than that," he said.
Biden on Friday acknowledged the criticism, saying he was hopeful for more vaccinations, but he avoided putting down a marker that could potentially fall out of reach. One former Obama administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to speak freely about internal conversations, said there was a fevered effort during the first few months of Obama's first term to play down the focus on evaluating the president's success within his first 100 days because aides knew the financial recovery would take far longer than that.
You have that flipped.
He wakes up at 4 pm every day so far
It's all a scam. I don't trust anybody who coasts through life and cheats to get what they want. Please, report on Canada's 'leader'.
Remember when he accused trump for not wearing a mask.
Soooo, where’s his mask, he’s on federal property.
You wrote that wrong. Over promise and under deliver is what you meant
Unités States America and Canada armed.or Armada. Ben it's rural for Quebec and France.. Ben yes.Ben no. In french is Ben oui. Ben non. Ben voyons donc. Dictionnary. 1991 Petit Robert in my language French.
He is by far one of the luckiest presidents to take office. No matter how things get bad, he will always have the luxury to pin it on Trump.
Lol
He promised to end the virus and now says he has no plan and will have something in a couple months, but CTV experienced it differently
Biden claimed the US has no pandemic plan. Fauci said that he was wrong, that an effective program was in place. Get the facts at least right CTV.
Typo
We all knew the media would treat Biden nice... keep the same energy you had with critiquing trump. Biden is pictured in ctvs tweet, standing in a federal building violating his first executive order to mandate masks in said buildings. randyhillier
Wait .... no one said it was under promising until after he was sworn in. The former administration missed its mark by more than double in vaccinations.
I’m no Trump fan but winning an election on saying Trump messed up Covid and then just doing what Trump did doesn’t seem very honest to me. I guess that’s what you get when you elect a serial plagiarist.
“...he declared outright: 'There's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months.' So he never had a plan, except to blame Trump and use Covid to win the election. And now he’s just waiting for vaccines, so that he can claim the victory.
In other words, he has no idea.
Ha ha . You are out of mind CTV. You have just proven you are really really fakenews
under approach like his under age fetish
liar liar pants on fire
all the work was done 4 him! thats y he sleeps all day.
Wow. In the tank? Hes literally doing the Trump plan, you people freaked abou and Trump did better than truedope.
wrongcountry
it feels like the opposite of his predecessor’s approach
A wise approach
CTV check your self before you wreck your self .... check you’re bias at the door 🚪!
100 million Americans in 100 days is “under promising” are you idiots CTV
Best to be cautious rather than be brash, as Trump had been.
Trudeau‘s approach to COVID-19 overpromise and underdeliver🤦♂️
3 days & you are already complaining? At least Biden is giving you a reality check,and not filling your heads with falsehoods! This is what the rest of the world has been dealing with for over a year.Unfortunately reality hurts. Get use to it, and stop belly aching!
Biden, walked into a mess, left behind by Trump and has a action plan. Our Pm makes up everything on the fly.
Nooooo really? You mean the Sheeple actually thought they were voting for someone who was actually going to change some thing and actually do what they said they were going to do? 😂😂😂oooook go back in line and go “vote” for a different criminal
Classic CTV news, jerking off biden whenever possible
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It beats overpromising but never delivering.
Why install Biden... Democrats could have picked a much better puppet to install than Dementia Joe!!! Wasted all of that corruption on this joke!!!
thats a pretty messed up take on the facts, way to go....stating you plan to get 100 million vaccinated in 100 days.....first press scoffed saying thats not achievable, then they did the math and now they are bitching about Biden not trying harder cause it should be easy..FU CTV
Is there a story about Trudeau's approach that you could share? Canadians should be more informed about the reality of the situation in Canada. My parents watch CTV and CBC but anything I tell them about Canada is news to them. Please, focus on Canadian news content.
Sure CTV, his lying is already being exposed.
They are currently vaccinating in the area of one million per day in the U.S. Biden promises 100 million in 100 days. Can everyone see the simple play on words here. Last I checked 1,000,000 x 100 = 100,000,000.
He’s literally violating his own covid-19 executive order of mandate masks in federal buildings... IN THIS DAM PICTURE. Apparently joe Biden can do no wrong
Watching you clowns run defence for this senile old man is glorious. So looking forward to the next 4 years
Like every politician their promises mean nothing. And the vast majority never deliver on a single one of them. It’s all about their actions and what they do, how they conduct themselves. Is being hardworking, honest, reliable, responsible, and credible too much to ask for?
Great photo. Showing Biden violating his own EO requiring masks on federal property.....oh wait he was celebrating....my bad
Holy shit. I thought you were bad before. But HOLY SHIT. 🤮
Why the fuck is this news in Canada? How about reporting on Trudeau’s FAILED approach?!
And his delivery is... what again? Fauci has already stated Biden lied about the state of preparedness of the U.S.
On federal property without a mask 🤷♂️
Are you kidding me with this?
uselessbootlickinliberalmedia overpromise/underdeliver ...justintrudeau
Smart man
Biden doesn’t have to do anything. Just like the election. The WHO just lowered boom on the PCR test. The NY Times just exposed its flaws and just like that cases will fall. Oh, did you not notice Biden resumed funding for the WHO on the same day the WHO directive was issued.
The majority of comments in this thread are bashing Biden. It’s obvious that these Canadian Trump supporters did not read this article, they just read the headline. Typical MAGA intellect.
I am happy you chose the pic of him braking his own EO regarding mandatory masks in Fed bulidings
What’s with the gold around that American flag? Maybe we can get GlobalBC news guys keithbaldrey new investigate?
Ya whatever
fake news
Any informed person knows that production ramp up starts slow and it increases when the equipment, the supply chain, the factories have reached their capacity. This is said, Biden will always underpromise.
CTV is garbage.
How to lose confidence with the public - play those head games. But the reality in this case is Biden is weak physically and cognitively so we shouldn't expect anything impressive by him you'd expect from any other president.
Joe said to vote for both Georgia Democrat Senators and those $2000 checks will go out the door. Now they're $1400 and won't be sent out until March or April.
Nice spin. He ran on having some insight Trump lacked in licking this, then did an about face once sworn in.
Better that, than the BS spewed by Trudope: Overpromise and undeliver
