WASHINGTON (AP) — It was his last stop of the day on a West Coast swing, a backyard fundraiser at a TV producer’s home in Los Angeles, and President Joe Biden was telling the crowd how tough the past few years have been.
He ticked off challenges: Technology that’s made it easier to corrupt the truth. Russia and China’s efforts to upset the world order, surging inflation at home. The lingering pandemic. The after-effects of the Capitol riot. Election deniers and their impact on the upcoming nationwide voting.
Still, for all of that, Biden insisted, the nation’s best days lie ahead.
The upbeat heart of the president’s message is the same wherever he goes. In Detroit or Los Angeles. Syracuse, New York, or Hagerstown, Maryland. To throngs in an auditorium or a few dozen in a weathered union hall, the Democratic president declares he’s never felt more hopeful.
“I truly believe we’re just getting started,” he told a crowd in Florida on Tuesday. “I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future than I am today.”
Presidents “almost have to will themselves into a sense of optimism. If they can’t project hope that we can surmount our difficulties, then they’re sunk and we are, too,” sad Jeff Shesol, a former speechwriter for President Bill Clinton.
And it’s anything but clear that Biden’s optimistic vision is breaking through. Just 25% of Americans said the country is headed in the right direction in an October AP-NORC survey.

Denial is thick with the propagandists. They should just try on, “Dear Leader”, once, for size.
Does the Ministry of Information write everything for Associated Press?
He’s a rank, self-serving, mendacious politician. Nothing more.
Jimmy Carter must be thankful that Biden will replace him as the worst president in history.
And I had thought we would never see another or worse president than Jimmy Carter in my generation.
Yeesh. Could they lay it on any thicker?
LOL. Yeah. Republicans are evil.
This steady drumbeat as we head to election day will get stronger with each passing day, it's all they have at this point.
This is the same “upbeat, optimist” who publicly demanded that the Medal of Freedom be taken from Rush Limbaugh dying of cancer and given to some worthless bozo. A very bad man, in all respects.
The country’s economic pain under Carter was pretty bad. That and the humiliation of the hostage situation in Iran put Carter at or near the bottom of the list.
He was also a one term president, unlike the others who are on the list.
That noted, Carter was inept but well intentioned. Not sleazy and deceitful like Clinton and Obama.
Biden has set a new low.
This steady drumbeat as we head to election day will get stronger with each passing day, it’s all they have at this point.

I really don’t think the media’s cheerleading makes any difference anymore. The public knows its all liberal propaganda and doesn’t pay much attention to their noise.
The media has lost all credibility with its absurd bias.
He ticked off challenges:
1) Technology that’s made it easier to corrupt the truth. (i.e. the ability of the Rats to censor social media and the FBI to hide the Hunter Biden laptop from hell)
2) Russia and China’s efforts to upset the world order (i.e. countries that reject the Global Homosexual agenda)
3) Surging inflation at home (i.e. started by Puppet Biden policies of big government spending and the dismantling of the US energy sector)
4) The lingering pandemic (i.e. created by Fauci and the Wuhan Labs to engineer a just-in-time hoax virus to allow fake mail-in ballots during the 2020 elections)
5) The after-effects of the Capitol riot (i.e. capital riots that caused zero damage, unlike the BLM and ANTIFAS riots that caused billions in damage)
6) Election deniers and their impact on the upcoming nationwide voting (i.e. the Biden coup plotters are soon going to be punished and put to death, can’t have any of that that, right Joe?)
“He ticked off challenges: Technology that’s made it easier to corrupt the truth. Russia and China’s efforts to upset the world order, surging inflation at home. The lingering pandemic. The after-effects of the Capitol riot. Election deniers and their impact on the upcoming nationwide voting.”
Okay, so one legitimate concern; the one where the AP forgot punctuation. Granted, technology is a concern, but not the way these people mean.
He ticked off challenges: China’s efforts to upset the world order.......

Biden’s significant China tour after 32 years

BEIJING, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) — U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will visit China on Wednesday, 32 years after he first came to China as a member of the first U.S. delegation following the normalization of China-U.S. relations.
Biden has witnessed the ups and downs of the bilateral ties between the two countries over the past three decades and more. When he set foot on China in 1979, the two countries had just ended decades of hostility and signed a joint communique establishing diplomatic relations, setting the cornerstone for bilateral ties.
By the time Chinese President Hu Jintao visited the United States in January this year, the relationship between both countries had grown into a cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and common interest.
Biden’s current visit to China may well be considered a continuation and extension of his China tour 32 years ago. It is a relay of the drive to deepening the U.S.-China relations.
“A rising China is a positive, positive development, not only for China but for America and the world writ large,” wrote Biden 32 years ago as a young member of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Addressing the opening session of the U.S.-China Strategic & Economic Dialogue in May, Biden said he still maintained his words from over three decades ago.
Thanks to the efforts from both sides, China-U.S.relations have gained tremendous momentum in the 21st century. Bilateral cooperation have extended to a wide range of fields including politics, economy, science, culture and other major international and regional issues.
Just as Biden himself put it, “It’s no exaggeration to say that our relationship and how we manage it will help shape the 21st century.”
The United States and China are the first and second biggest economies in the world, with close economic ties.
According to U.S. statistics, the United States exported over 110 billion U.S. dollars’ worth of goods and service to China last year, which helped to create more than 500,000 jobs in the United States.
With a combined share of one-third of the world’s economy and one-fifth of the world’s trade volume, China and the United States share ties that go beyond their boundaries and have profound global impact.
The international community would be more than happy to see China and the United States join hands to tackle global challenges and strive for a robust, sustainable and balanced world economy.
Exchange of high-level visits across the Pacific Ocean had served to promote China-U.S. relations. The New York Times said in a recent article that Biden’s coming China tour is aimed primarily to consolidate ties with the Chinese leadership.
It is true that China and the United States have differences. However, the two countries’ common interest far outweighs their differences. Or as Biden put it, “We have much more to agree on than to disagree on.”
If they adhere to the principle of equality and mutual respect, the two countries will be able to broaden their common ground and manage to handle properly the thorny issues between them.
As the United States’ largest foreign creditor, China has much at stake over U.S. economic policy changes and a stable U.S. dollar. Therefore, Washintong’s handling of all the related issues in a responsible manner will contribute to the steady growth of China-U.S. ties and the stable development of the world economy given the mounting concern about European and U.S. debt woes and fragile global economic recovery.
