WASHINGTON (AP) — With the last nine, unscripted words of an impassioned speech about Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, President Joe Biden created a troubling distraction, undermining his effectiveness as he returned home to face restive Americans who strongly disapprove of his performance on issues that matter most to them.
His comment that Russia’s Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power” — an assertion that his aides were forced to quickly clean up — overshadowed his larger message of solidifying the western coalition that’s confronting Moscow.
It punctuated another frustrating moment for an administration that’s struggled to regain its footing — and the American electorate’s support — in the face of an ongoing pandemic, escalating inflation and an increasingly complicated foreign policy crisis that raises the specter of nuclear conflict.
Although he’s forged a united front to punish Russia with sanctions for the invasion of Ukraine, polls show Americans feel no better about his leadership as the bloody war continues.
While running for office two years ago, Biden repeatedly told voters that “the words of a president matter,” and he promised that his foreign policy experience would serve the country well on the international stage.
There’s little doubt that Biden has been able to maintain unusual unity among allies during this war. But by speaking with more passion than caution — particularly in his speech in Warsaw — Biden has also reminded Americans of his proclivity for misstatements at a precarious time for his presidency.
Just 26% of Americans have faith that Biden can manage a crisis or the military, according to last week’s AP-NORC poll.

Nope, Pudding Cup read it right off the teleprompter. Fark off AP.
Biden gets plenty of respite. He still gets his naps and his pudding. It’s his handlers that have to clean up the huge messes he makes.

So basically the people who claimed Trump would crash the economy and start WW3 have crashed the economy and started WW3.
Right!
Exactly. The AP stands for Absolute Prevarication.
The White House “clean up crew” are not elected. Joe Biden is President and what he says matters. In Poland he told soldiers they would soon get to see Ukrainian standing in front of tanks, thus confirming he is planning on sending American troops into Ukraine. Also in Poland Joe Biden said Russian President Putin has to be removed. So how is the Biden Administration planning to take Putin out? Perhaps by bio weapons stored in Ukrainian labs, nuclear attacks or invading Russia? Joe Biden also said the war will not be over in weeks or months, it will take years. So much for the claim Gen. Austin and Gen. Miley have tried to contact their Russian counterparts. The U.S. and NATO want a protracted war. They have no intention of negotiating anything.
