Biden Thinks He's FDR. America Thinks He's a Failure | Opinion
Newsweek ^ | Feb. 22nd, 2022 | Monica Crowley

When historians gathered at the White House shortly after President Biden's inauguration, they discussed what makes a presidency consequential. Biden reportedly told one historian in attendance, "I'm no FDR, but..."

On this, Biden is right: He is no Franklin Delano Roosevelt, nor is he any of the other presidents to whom he has delusional hopes of being compared to, such as Lyndon Johnson or Abraham Lincoln. After just one year of complete Democrat rule, there is no denying that the average American is far worse off under the Biden administration.

Biden's desire for a consequential presidency has meant disastrous consequences for American families. The economic harm from his policies has been particularly devastating. For too many American families, rising costs for gas and groceries have shrunk household budgets. Consumer prices reached a 40-year high in January, while workers' wages failed to keep up. A University of Pennsylvania Wharton School analysis found Americans paid $3,500 more in 2021 as a result of runaway inflation, and currently, Americans are shelling out an estimated additional $276 per month for basic goods and services. Skyrocketing inflation hurts the middle and working classes the most, as they are least able to withstand rising prices.

Two ways to get into the history books, one is to be an amazing success and make the world better.

The other to be a colossal failure and create world misery. Guess which way is the easier one....

He has that $hit eating grin that makes some want to punch him in the face. Disaster of a man. Disaster as a father. Disaster for the country.

On his best day Biden could not lick FDR’s shoes clean.

A little more than half of America thinks he’s a complete failure.

A little less than half think he’s doing a marvelous job. And they look forward to more.

Yeah. I took that picture from a laudatory article on NPR when the Infrastructure bill was passed. I’ve noticed he puts on that grin when under stress... it’s a practiced pose...

I think Biden is getting some excellent medical juicing that wasn’t available in FDR’s time.

FIRST: He’s a fraud.

SECOND: He rivals Obama as the worst imposter in the White House ever.

A smarmy, self-absorbed, vile, racist man who spent his entire life in Washington. I can think of no more villainous, treacherous, filthy scum than him. A stupid, lightweight man of no consequence. Chauncey Gardner is brilliant in comparison.
