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.
Idk maybe calling people you disagree with segregationists and racists isn’t the best approach. Remember when he said Mitt Romney was going to put black people back in chains?
Did you write that headline with DougJBalloon in mind? Are you just looking for attention?
In a time when everyday has been nothing but bad news. Feelings of no hope. Struggles and pain. Lost memories of joking & witty fun people exchanges. It all reminds me of Biden and Obama being 10 minutes apart for 8 yrs but rarely being seen together. Now we know why. Trump 2024
He lied
After years of 'sickness' do you really expect things to be resolved in 1 year? Get real.
Biden can't be blamed for the stupidity of antivaxxors. Most of whom are Trump supporters.
Disagree... I have seen more unity. CV19 management has been poor.
It's fun watching you guys parse through all of Biden's failures and blaming trump.... you guys are just pathetic...btw most all of the investigations were fake to try to block him..
One of the biggest failures in US history. Joe Biden. Look at that.
Let’s go BRANDON!
