Blaming COVID: Biden sees common culprit for country’s woes

WASHINGTON (AP) — Inflation is soaring, businesses are struggling to hire and President Joe Biden’s poll numbers have been in free-fall. The White House sees a common culprit for it all: COVID-19.

Biden’s team views the pandemic as the root cause of both the nation’s malaise and his own political woes. Finally controlling COVID-19, the White House believes, is the skeleton key to rejuvenating the country and reviving Biden’s own standing.

But the coronavirus challenge has proved to be vexing for the White House, with last summer’s premature claims of victory swamped by the more transmissible delta variant, stubborn millions of Americans unvaccinated and lingering economic effects from the pandemic’s darkest days.

For now, in the administration’s view, an intransigent minority that is resisting vaccination is spoiling the recovery for the rest of the country — forcing masks on the vaccinated and contributing to lingering anxiousness everywhere you look.

The administration views vaccination mandates as critical, not only to preventing avoidable illness and death but to safeguarding the economic recovery — and salvaging Biden’s political position.

Typical AP drivel.

This is a real nonsensical laugher! -->

...an intransigent minority that is resisting vaccination is spoiling the recovery for the rest of the country — forcing masks on the vaccinated
Do people actually believe that crap?

Just like a Commie. Blame everyone, and everything except his failed Socialist policies.

Best thing Buy-DUNG could do right now would be an immediate repeal of the TSA-enforced public transportation mask mandate.

It would boost moral—and hasten herd immunity.

Somehow the virus caused us to lose the Afghan War and also shuttered our natural gas and oil industry. Is there anything this virus can’t do?

If 100% of people were vaccinated they would still make us wear masks. They would have to come up with another reason. Don’t worry they have Fauci to make up whatever they need.

The Democrats , and Biden in particular, refuse to take responsibility for anything. They are the champions of scapegoating—Russia, Covid, Trump, White people.

Today it's Covid, Covid, Covid. If it weren't for the Democrats and their media, I would have no idea that Covid was a problem.

But when I buy gasoline, I immediately know Biden is the problem. The problem for Biden and the Democrats is that so does everybody else at every gas pump at every gas station, in every state.

No, Brandon.

Destroying BLM and AntiFa and restoring the Republic will fix our problems.

You and your party are succeeding at destroying us AND the world.

Mission Accomplished, Herr Obama.

There is no lower form of character than blaming others for what you did.

Joe Biden has a PhD in it.

Of course. That’s part of the plan. Destroy from inside, and BBB?
They think they’re immune.

Joe Biden is like a do-it-yourselfer faced with a broken and leaking water faucet, overflowing water in the sink, and the drain pipe coming out the bottom of his plugged kitchen sink as he determinedly draws out the only tool in his toolbox: a hammer. When it doesn’t work and only makes the problem worse, he shouts angrily at his wife to go out and buy a bigger hammer.

Impeach 46, and the donkey he rode in on.
