Why George H.W. Bush’s Single Term Should Worry Joe Biden
Time ^ | 04/13/2022 | Philip Elliott

The President was riding high. The American public had rallied behind him to support direct military intervention for a country invaded by its neighbor, to back the still-nascent democracy in Eastern Europe, and to cool tensions with a Cold War rival.

These days, President Joe Biden must be mighty jealous of President George H.W. Bush.

Cheney was a bad influence. Clinton and Albright were more to blame.

Agreed.
Here’s hoping that his disreputable progeny gets ousted from her House seat in November.

For sure, though, in hindsight we can see that the U.S. badly handled the post-Cold War victory. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the Russians look back at the USSR crackup like Germans in the 1930s looked back at the Treaty of Versailles (”we wuz robbed”).

Russia was in ruins after they Soviet Union collapsed and we did nothing. Maybe things would be a little better if George H.W. Bush remained in charge but not sure how much. He may not had been ambitious enough. All the factories that went to China. Why didn't they go to Russia? They could export to Europe.

“AOC is eligible in 2024. We mock her, and she is easily mocked, but there are reasons she is a nationally known figure.” It won’t be AOC because even the main stream media doesn’t portray her as a “moderate.” In the 2020 primaries, the media said Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders were running in the “liberal” lane of the Democrats while Buttigieg and Biden were running in the “moderate” lane. Buttigieg has a better chance of being the Democrat nominee than AOC.

I see AOC more like Pelosi.
She’s a lock in her district as long as she wants and moves up the seniority ladder, becoming Speaker down the road.
I’m not even sure she could win a state wide election in NY vs Shuck Choomer if she wanted to move up to the Senate.

One would think but then why act surprised when Biden has not done interviews?

Biden has not done interviews?

Which is the evidence of his cognitive inability. Unless it is scripted, friendly, softballs, he is incapable of answering more involved nuanced questions that require thought. Right now, simply reading words written for him and some minor daily gaffs he and the media can continue to hide his severe mental disability.

Yes of course, my original point is the writer of the article seems oblivious to Biden’s mental decline which l find amazing.
