White House plots public reset as Biden's agenda flails
NBC News / Comcast ^ | January 18, 2022 | By Carol E. Lee, Kristen Welker and Mike Memoli

With President Joe Biden rounding out his first year in office amid a sinking approval rating and multiple setbacks to his agenda, the White House is planning a new communications strategy, senior administration officials say.

Biden’s reset plan, senior administration officials said, is to make his conversations with members of Congress less of a public priority and to emphasize spending more time communicating directly with Americans. The officials said that the White House will continue negotiations with Congress over Biden’s legislative priorities but that it would stop releasing details of the talks to the public.

What some of Biden’s aides have expressed concern about most is the impression that he is seemingly bogged down at the White House, giving too many “one-dimensional” speeches from Washington instead of showcasing what they see as his greatest political strength: empathy and an ability to connect with ordinary Americans.

But finding the time and the best venues outside Washington has been a challenge, both because of how much time Biden has invested in congressional negotiations and because the pandemic has made such travel outside the capital more complicated and time-consuming.

I think he should yell at us and call us names more. I find it very persuasive.

Just publish the comments from his teleprompter. We don’t need his ugly face to spout them.

So we’ll be even more distracted by his bumbles, fumbles and screaming. And Barry and the wonks at WestExec throw their demolition plan into overdrive!

It’s not the communication plan it’s the policies that people reject but crazy liberals are incapable of believing that people reject their ideas so instead of changing policies they come up with a different way to sell the same bad things

YES!

What WE need is MORE Joe Biden in front of a microphone and a camera!

Maybe he can even take Psaki’s place a few times a week? That’ll be a hoot and just what we need!

“end of quote”

“impression that he is bogged down at the White House. “ Surely they jest. The impression abroad in the land is that he is A*WOL most of the time. It appears that his advisors have no clue as to what the people really see and think. The crashing ratings are not by accident or because we don’t see and hear enough of him.

Brandon has dementia, it prohibits him from being allowed by his handlers to answer unrehearsed long form questions in a long form (60 or more minutes) press conference.

It’s kinda obvious to 300 million people by now.
