What H.W. Bush could teach Biden

WHEN 46 STARTS TO EQUAL 41 — It won’t be long before “George Herbert Walker Biden” creeps into the vernacular, given the parallels surfacing between the 41st president and the 46th.

Like the first President Bush, President Joe Biden is viewed by much of Washington as fundamentally decent — good at democracy and foreign policy but bamboozled by an economy that, apart from inflation, he keeps suggesting is fine. People didn’t feel that way in 1992, and despite job growth and low unemployment, they certainly don’t now.

The price for Bush was a second term. Looking back 20 years, Time suggested that the echoes “should worry Joe Biden.”

What a stupid comparison

[Lurkinanloomin]

GHW Bush was the first one to adopt open borders as national policy.

[BenLurkin]

Most people will stick with “Creepy Joe”.

[JennysCool]

the parallels surfacing between the 41st president and the 46th.

There are no parallels. For better or worse, GHWB had a functioning brain. Joe Biden is not similarly equipped.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I for one am very thankful that Bush was in charge when the Berlin Wall fell and all those Soviet nukes did not end up in the wrong hands. When government does it’s job no one notices. Can we say the same about all those stings in Ukraine now?

You people are all wrong.

What idiot would describe that Chinese bought pedophile crook as fundamentally decent?

“What idiot would describe that Chinese bought pedophile crook as fundamentally decent?”

That is what I was thinking. The MSM always slip lies like this in their articles.

[susannah59]

Well, like the article says, “much of Washington” would be that kind of idiot.

I suspect “much of Washington” has a different definition of decency than most of the rest of the country.

" President Joe Biden is viewed by much of Washington as fundamentally decent — good at democracy and foreign policy..."

Assumes facts not in evidence.

[Zathras]

He could teach him how to jump out of a plane.

[BenLurkin]

So you think Biden isn’t Creepy Joe? I’m wrong about that?

[nwrep]

almost all of Washington.

good at democracy and foreign policy but bamboozled by an economy that, apart from inflation, he keeps suggesting is fine. People didn’t feel that way in 1992, and despite job growth and low unemployment, they certainly don’t now.

WTH? Good at democracy???

[WMarshal]

Who wants to watch a rerun of ‘Dumb and Dumber’?

[Tallguy]

Biden was never “decent”.

[Dr. Franklin]

Perhaps because they were/are both so corrupt, no one in the Swamp notices or much cares? Both run crime families, and stole elections.

[Fledermaus]

Kemp was a DC whore

What utter nonsense. Joe Biden is totally indecent. He is corrupt to the core. And he was never anything more than a third-rate politician with virtually no accomplishments despite nearly five decades in politics. His policies are destroying the country.

[Lurkinanloomin]

These are Obama’s policies, Senile Joe is just the meat puppet who gets the blame.
