WASHINGTON -- From the inaugural platform, President Joe Biden saw American sickness on two fronts - a disease of the national spirit and the one from the rampaging coronavirus - and he saw hope, because leaders always must see that.
In the dispiriting close of Biden's first year, roadblocks stood in the way of all big things pending. For all of that, Barack Obama was on to something when he paid his old vice president an odd compliment late in the 2020 campaign. Elect Joe Biden, he said, and after four years of flamboyant Trump dramas and crazy tweets, folks could feel safe ignoring their president and vice president for a spell.
First lady Jill Biden's studded"Love" jacket at a global summit not-so-subtly countered the"I Really Don't Care, Do U?" jacket her predecessor wore on her flight to a migrant child detention center. Americans everywhere will be seeing plenty more orange construction cones for years to come. In just one initiative under the program, 15,000 highway bridges are in line for repairs.
He had anticipated a far more effective COVID-19 response and more urgency, sooner, in countering the rollback of voting rights and tilting of election rules that Republicans are attempting across the country. That's how Biden has come across to John Ferguson, a retired diplomatic officer in Lovettsville, Virginia, who considers Biden"infinitely better than Trump" but adds:"He seems to give a speech every four hours and he's not very good at it."
But the world also witnessed Biden's debacle in Afghanistan, a chaotic withdrawal that brought more than 124,000 to safety but stranded thousands of desperate Afghans who had been loyal to the United States and hundreds of U.S. citizens and green card holders. Biden entered office with a list of to-dos amassed by his party. His quest for a sweeping"Build Back Better" program of social spending turned into a months-long slog, hostage to disagreement between Democrats of the left and center and sometimes to just one man, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, or Manchin and Sinema together.President Joe Biden and Sen. Joe Manchin are said to be sharply divided over the expansion of the child tax credit.
Not to defend the guy but, his approval rating is currently 8.8% points higher than the former guys was at this point in his only term. I wish this meant we would see a competition between two MUCH MUCH better candidates next time. But we won’t.
Bye Bye useless Biden
Correct that he hasn't solved anything that people care about. The word salad in the rest of the article is utterly clueless. Good job copying The Party line though 33approval 53dislike Unity
