Inside a Biden White House adrift

Amid a rolling series of calamities and sinking approval ratings, the president’s feeling lately is that he just can’t catch a break — and that angst is rippling through his party.

WASHINGTON — Faced with a worsening political predicament, President Joe Biden is pressing aides for a more compelling message and a sharper strategy while bristling at how they’ve tried to stifle the plain-speaking persona that has long been one of his most potent assets.

Biden is rattled by his sinking approval ratings and is looking to regain voters’ confidence that he can provide the sure-handed leadership he promised during the campaign, people close to the president say.

Crises have piled up in ways that have at times made the Biden White House look flat-footed: record inflation, high gas prices, a rise in Covid case numbers — and now a Texas school massacre that is one more horrific reminder that he has been unable to get Congress to pass legislation to curb gun violence. Democratic leaders are at a loss about how he can revive his prospects by November, when midterm elections may cost his party control of Congress.

“I don’t know what’s required here,” said Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., whose endorsement in the 2020 Democratic primaries helped rescue Biden’s struggling candidacy. “But I do know the poll numbers have been stuck where they are for far too long.”

These articles are laughable; they all flow from the premise that biden is a normal, fully-functioning human being who is doing his best against formidable challenges raised by his predecessor and outside forces. What they fail to say out loud is that HE HAS ALZHEIMER’S and is simply unable to perform even the simplest duties of a president.

“pass legislation to curb gun violence” -— Do they realize how stupid that sounds?

Every criminal out there is carefully watching potential legislation to make sure that they follow the exact letter of the law....

I have to laugh when I read this. First, Biden is aware of nothing. 2nd, sure handed leadership? What, like the Afghanistan surrender/withdrawal?

Even a press staged photo makes him look like he just stepped in dog poo.

They are trying to sell Biden as some kind of folksy Harry S. Truman type character when actually he’s just a bitter angry senile old man... and everyone can see it.

Biden was at the Washington zoo for a break and a monkey threw a banana peel at him. He grabbed the peel and threw it back at the monkey. The monkey got really depressed. Now the zoo is asking Biden to come back and apologize to the monkey.

A more compelling message? His admin has no message!

A strategy? What strategy other than the destruction of the middle class and the debasement of the USA.

Plain-speaking persona? That's a joke too. He has always been petty, vindictive, thin-skinned and ultra-partisan. But that's what they call plain-speaking.

It seems to me that the Dems are merely searching for their Bob Dole in 2024. Then, the party faithful will put up a moderate in ‘28. So look for a progressive/LGBT/minority ticket in 24. They need to get that out of their system and pound it into the ground.
