WASHINGTON - Add Mother Nature to the pile of crises on President Joe Biden’s plate.
A month into the job and focused on the coronavirus, Biden is seeing his disaster management skills tested after winter storms plunged Texas, Oklahoma and neighboring states into an unusual deep freeze that left millions shivering in homes that lost heat and power, and in many homes, water.
The White House announced on Saturday that the president had declared a major disaster in Texas, and he has asked federal agencies to identify additional resources to address the suffering.
Biden came into office Jan. 20 promising to tackle a series of brewing crises, starting with the coronavirus pandemic and its ripple effects on the economy. He tacked on systemic racism and climate change as top priorities. And now he’s contending with storms that have not only imperiled Americans but also delayed the shipment and administration of millions of doses of coronavirus vaccines.
Biden, who offered himself during the campaign as the experienced and empathetic candidate the nation needed at this moment in time, is working on several fronts to address the situation — and to avoid repeating the mistakes of predecessors who got tripped up by inadequate or insensitive responses in times of disaster.

Just imagine what they’d be saying if this was in 2016 and Trump was this slow.
A week late on the draw, isn’t he
But AP still licks his butt
Really??? Today he declares an emergency after how many days???
When does the narrative start that no one person could ever overcome all these crisises he inherited... when the economy starts going in the crapper from his energy and immigration policies I’d say late fall is a good bet
Hopefully the aid will come fast enough to save the dozens of people who have died.
Heck, with hussein it was immediate and lasted for 4 years.
Cross that, 8 years
It’s all melted and pretty much back to normal now. Except for the busy plumbers and carpenters.
“Add Mother Nature to the pile of crises on President Joe Biden’s plate.”
...they’re already starting with the “look at the mess this poor guy inherited” bologna.
Oh, poor baby. Can't wake up Sleepy Joe...he needs his nap time. Besides, the rest of crises were all created by Democrats.
Took him long enough.
Joe just woke from his nap...
Who controls Jiden AP besides the ChiComs?:
It probably took Slo-Joe a week to find Texas on a map.
I have been hearing that not a single item has been delivered to a single citizen.
So, Biden comes to the rescue after the emergency is over.
Chapstick and kneepads are in order for Darene Superville
Texas declares Biden a major disaster.
The real emergency is demented Jackass Joe, right there in the White House basement. We are so screwed....
