President Biden got a double-bit of bad news.
First, Rasmussen reported that he is at 39% job approval. So much for the SOTU bounce or whatever else was supposed to turn things around.
Second, Americans are not falling for the "Vlad did it" story. This is from Fox News:
Americans feeling the price at the pump told FoxNews that President Biden's claim that he "can't do much" about soaring gas prices does not add up.
"That's a bunch of bull," Chester from Kentucky said.
Lynn, of South Dakota, told Fox : "There has to be reserves here in the states, that they can release."
During a gaggle with reporters in Fort Worth, Texas, on Tuesday, President Biden was asked what he was going to do about rising gas prices.
"Can't do much right now. Russia is responsible," Biden replied.
Robert from Tampa disagreed with that assessment.
"No, it has been going for some time now," Robert told Fox News. "Like inflation, it's not something that happened in a couple of weeks."
Anne said she doesn't understand President Biden's decision to shut down the Keystone XL Pipeline.
"We have potential to take care of some of our own needs rather than go foreign," she added.
By the way, I won't tell you what they think of President Biden talking to Nicolás Maduro in Florida. It won't help down there, which is why a lot of Democrats are balking at the idea. You want the 200,000 or so Venezuelans pass their citizenship test and cast a vote for Senator Marco Rubio? Keep talking about sitting down with Maduro.
In the meantime, I just paid $55 today to fill up our Nissan Altima. I did not hear anyone at the gas station blaming Vlad.

Just heard ABC radio blame Russia...lol
Every politician that voted on January 6, 2020 to accept a completely fraudulent Presidential election is a co-conspirator in the destruction of America. They are domestic enemies of the Constitution and the American people.
$o “Putin gas spike” ain’t stickin’ huh? Not what peppermint paddy says.
There are Americans and then there are stupid and generally ignorant women who thrive on the media propaganda and will never believe all the Problems aren’t Russian and thus surely somehow Trump related.
America’s worst problem after race obsessed Black are intellectually defficient but well educated women
A Fossil Fool...........................
nd what sense is there in cutting off any of the gas supplies because it effects US and is unnecessary. Putin has the fuel. He can sell it to China or other countries. We're not No. 1. The EU is dependent on Russia as their source.
Anyone that thinks Putin will take the sanctions sitting down...is foolish.
And remember...he has plenty of Gold.....AND he's not economically stupid.
Agreed. Young white women drive politically correct language, feminist bs, transsexual children, and much more. There’s nothing more destructive to freedom and reason than young white women.
“defficient but well educated women”
Like VP Kamala Harris?
No, I had in mind my long divorced “former Friend” who is a retired English teacher and proudly reads the New York Times. She is NEA member, divorced and Biden is her daddy
She is ordinary run of the mill progressive Ameritrash
my hardcore biden supporting neighbor blames putin for the rising costs of everything...
he’s male...
his wife voted for trump...
Your neighbor is a complete MORON, there is no hope for people who have NO common sense and can’t make a decision on their own they are SHEEP!!!
The UK's Deep State not letting a good crisis go to waste. Ours is doing the same, importing foreign nationals in huge numbers.
The only thing I know for certain right now: Our Deep States, our enemies within, scare me a hell of a lot more than Putin.
Your god Putin cannot even take the Ukraine a country about the size of Texas
He not some sort of all powerful mythical demigod. So please stop with this ridiculous pile of obsequiousness where you Freeper chicken little constantly go into panic about what Putin is going to do”
Appeasenment has never worked. Learn something from the history of the 1930s please.
Currently, average inflation rate in Western Europe is 4% with France as low as 3.3% and Canada at 5.1% while US inflation rate is 7.9%. All 3 Western entities are exposed to the same economic global externals such as escalating oil prices and the covid menace. Escalating government spending in the US over the last 12 months has broken all records everywhere when we spent 6.8 trillion with a record 2.7 trillion annual deficit. While Western Europe was spending 70% relative to GDP we were spending 135% relative to GDP last year. Pretty much tells the story of why our inflation rate is double the Western European inflation rate.To paraphrase a bit: It’s the spending, stupid.
Your anecdotal reference is irrelevant to the issue of women being progressive and depend on daddy government for solace and security
The, “Vlad caused inflation” line will be the only shot for the DNC.
They are getting hammered in the polls with Democrats and Independents polling horribly the Dems.
The media will run with this for the runup to the Midterms. If it mitigates Dem losses, they will expand the propaganda and hit it harder for the next few years until 2024.
