Joe Biden, the little man who wasn’t there
Washington Examiner ^ | 30 Aug, 2022 | Hugo Gurdon, Editor-in-Chief

Posted on 08/31/2022 4:30:30 PM PDT by MtnClimber

President Joe Biden has enjoyed a summer revival of sorts, meaning a rise in his public job approval number from a grotesquely low 36.8% in the RealClearPolitics average to a still lamentable 42%. In parallel, his disapproval fell from 57.4% to 54.7%.

This is enough for Democratic congressional candidates to rethink shunning the president on the campaign trail but is hardly a ringing endorsement.

Biden’s small but significant rebound is widely attributed to legislative “wins” such as the passage of the CHIPS Act, trumpeted as helping American computer chip makers compete with China, and the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act — three-quarters of a trillion dollars' worth of warmed up leftovers from the more costly failure, Build Back Better.

But although the public does not like ineptness and gridlock in Washington and might therefore like signs of life in the federal government, the passage of these bills is unlikely to have improved Biden’s image substantively.

More significant is that he was in hiding during midsummer, “strictly” isolating because he had COVID. This removed him from the public eye for weeks, and it is remarkable how much better he looks when you can’t see him. Biden is no hero, but if he has a superpower, it is invisibility. Being an empty suit has taken him to the top. His absence made voters’ hearts grow fonder in 2020. He won the presidency, remember, by retiring to his Delaware basement, avoiding the public gaze, and limiting his visible weirdness and blunders to occasional video appearances.

He is only now restarting his delayed midterm election tour, holding events postponed earlier this month and last month. It’s a fair bet these will do him less good than removing himself entirely from voter scrutiny.

No telling what the Deep State will do bail out Xao Bai-Dung in the 2022 and 2024 elections. The Trump raid was just the start.

THE MONEY QUOTE

BIDUNG was in hiding during midsummer, “strictly” isolating because he had COVID.

This removed him from the public eye for weeks.

It is remarkable how much better he looks when you can’t see him.

Biden didn’t “win the presidency”, so that’s the end of the article right there for me.

So Biden passing these pork laden bills is a win for him? It is a loss for the country.

See video of his latest speech in front of a small crowd.

A couple of boxes of donuts would attract a larger crowd than that.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

Little man upon the stair.
Little man who isn’t there.
He wasn’t there again today.
Gee, I wish he’d go away.

Another apt description is the Emperor who isn’t wearing any clothes.

But political correctness as it is today in the former free speech republic, the Emperor cannot be criticizedd. And there’s a Praetorian Guard (FBI, big tech, media) whose main job is to buttress the incompetent Emperor with no clothes.

Because one must never speak the truth about the Emperor’s lack of clothes — neither, suit, tie, pants, sans everything.

Yet another apt description, derived from a retro movie:
“The Incredible Shrinking Man”. What does become of him
once he has vanished from view?
