The Mess of an Address
American Greatness ^ | 8 Feb, 2023 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 02/09/2023 5:42:13 AM PST by MtnClimber

Joe Biden misinforms, ignores, and attacks—and then calls for “unity,” as the country collectively slides into ruin.

A fter listening to the State of the Union address, Americans know why the latest Reuters poll has Joe Biden at 41 percent approval.

Vice President Kamala Harris polls even lower—despite the obsequious efforts of the most biased media in history that has, in effect, merged with the Democratic Party.

The nation was reminded again why only 37 percent of Biden’s own party want him to run again.

Only a quarter of Americans believe the country is headed in the right direction under his leadership.

Given all that, what could a president possibly tell a nation when he entered office inheriting a 1.4 percent inflation rate only to spike it to 7 percent? How did Americans’ 30-year mortgages of 2.7 percent soar to 6.5 percent in less than two years?

How does a president explain that eggs climbed to $7 a dozen, or a thin steak hit $15 a pound, or a sheet of plywood reached $95?

How does a president explain to Americans that gas averaged $2.39 a gallon when he took office and, even after draining the strategic petroleum reserve, it is still $3.50 a gallon—and recently spiked at $5 a gallon in many states.

Can Joe Biden explain why once affordable, or even cheap natural gas more than tripled in price in less than a year?

What can a president say when in his first two years, over 5 million foreign nationals poured into the United States—all illegally across a nonexistent border?

How could Biden explain the humiliation in Afghanistan? The draining of our arsenal of key weaponry? Or the inability to take down a communist Chinese spy balloon when it first brazenly floated above America—photographing military bases

The MSM seemed to think Joe did a great job.

“Americans know why the latest Reuters poll has Joe Biden at 41 percent approval”

This American wonders how it could possibly be that high... 🙄

Well, that's what they truly believe is their primary -- for many Democrat/Communists their only purpose in life: to spread the secular gospel of their truly evil ideology, even if their secular theology is based completely on lies and denial of reality and of basic human nature ... and only when it results in hurting people ... especially children. (The long history of their cult proves these facts.)

Why? Because the MSM won’t ask the right questions.

I think Sowell started out as a leftist. But your point is well taken. I have never read anything from Mr Sowell that wasn’t well informed, well reasoned and simply presented.

I agree. I blame it on willful ignorance.

Yes. The MSM is obsessing about the unruly behavior of Republicans The NYT fact checked Biden’s speech as true. The MSM provides air cover for Democrats although I think their influence is diminishing.

It's not that high. There's no way the media will allow that approval number to drop below 40%. This is gaslighting at it's finest.

Silly goose. The story isn’t Joe’s gross & demonstrable lies, its the GOP’s rude reaction.

How can it possibly be 41%?!

41% is probably about the same as when he was “elected”.
