Joe Biden is not failing or flailing
CNN Fake News ^ | 21 January 2022 | Kirsten Powers

Posted on 01/23/2022 8:40:11 AM PST by Magnatron

Here's an apparently unpopular opinion: Joe Biden is not failing or flailing. His presidency is not in peril.

It's hard to see this through the blizzard of over-the-top headlines such as, "Biden Can Still Rescue His Presidency," "How the Biden Administration Lost Its Way" and "Biden's Epic Failures."

Everyone needs to take a breath: It's been one year. These headlines could just as easily read, "Joe Biden Fails to Fix Every Problem in the World in 365 days."

What drives much of the "presidency in peril" coverage is Biden's approval ratings. CNN's poll of polls, released Thursday, found that 41% of Americans approve of the way Joe Biden is handling his job while 54% disapprove.

Low approval ratings are used as a proxy by various political and ideological factions to argue that the president needs to do more of what they want and if he doesn't, he won't get reelected. (Spoiler alert: nobody will cast their vote in three years based on how they feel today about Biden). Progressives argue ratings are low because Biden is not progressive enough and moderates and "Never Trump" Republicans argue it's because Biden is too liberal. It's become conventional wisdom in the media that Biden's approval ratings started dropping because of how he handled the Afghanistan withdrawal. But Gallup's senior editor Jeff Jones told Politico in November that his declining poll numbers began before that, during the Delta Covid-19 variant surge.

Senile Joe decides nothing.

He is the meat puppet for public appearances.

The hypocrisy of these people is just astounding.

I agree with Kirsten. Our Globalist/NWO elite overlords installed Joe because he was easiest to manipulate. He doesn’t call the shots, they do. They needed him for the great reset.

Yeah, she did seem that way. But, did you know that way back in the day, she dated Anthony Weiner for a while? It makes one question whether her judgement has always been flawed, and her positions bent to those which are desired by her employer.

So how come only 28% of voters actually want Biden to run again. According to the 100% pro Biden AP.

“Joe Biden Fails to Fix Every Problem in the World in 365 days.”

Can she be serious? The headlines are about the problems he created himself, not problems in the world.
