Failed Leadership A Review of the Joe Biden presidency
When President Biden assumed the office of the presidency he listed as his Biden-Harris Administration Immediate Priorities that he will deliver bold action and immediate relief for American families as the country grapples with converging crises. This will include actions to control the COVID-19 pandemic, provide economic relief, tackle climate change, and advance racial equity and civil rights, as well as immediate actions to reform our immigration system and restore America’s standing in the world.
With 68 days left of Joe Biden’s presidency you be the judge of how he lived up to his promises?
Did Joe Biden deliver bold action and immediate relief for American families as the country grappled with converging crises of COVID-19, economic relief, climate change, racial equality and civil rights, reforming our immigration system and restoring America’s standing in the world?
Are we better off now than we were 4 years ago?
The election of 2020 was questionable at best. The ballot harvesting, extended counting, legal challenges and the issue of January 6th were just a tip of the iceberg. It seems that voters didn’t vote for a president, but for a joint Biden-Harris administration, so that means that Americans must hold both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris jointly accountable for every detail of the presidency, right?
Isn’t the office of the Vice President a cabinet position under the President? Does the Vice President not serve at the pleasure of the President? It is her duty to put forth the agenda of the President, not her own agenda?
Kamala Harris said that she was in almost every meeting of importance with Joe Biden. Yet when asked during her campaign why she didn’t implement changes that she felt needed to be made she replied “I’m not the president” or “I’m not Joe Biden and I’m not Donald Trump” When pressed for additional information about whether there is anything she would do differently than Joe Biden, her reply was “Nothing comes to mind”.
The media has gone so far as to say that Donald Trump made Kamala Harris look worse than Hillary Clinton [in 2016]. I beg to differ. Kamala Harris is solely responsible for the way she looked.
What I gather from reading various articles, watching televised appearances and doing my own evaluation is that while Joe Biden failed to take an active leadership role in his own administration it has led to a breakdown of trust and increased contempt by his own party that rivals the contempt of Donald Trump expressed by Democratic Party surrogates and both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
The Democratic Party rule over the American people has gotten out of control to the point that any form of respect has been replaced with widespread contempt of normalcy or common sense.
American voters are not stupid! They want to be treated as if they matter, and they do. In fact the Constitution says so and the Declaration of Independence makes it clear that an out of control government can be replaced.
Politicians can and should be replaced when they stop being public servants. Joe Biden’s lengthy career in Congress, the office of the Vice Presidency and as President of the United States is a perfect example of someone who may have gone into politics for the right reasons, but his quest for power would not allow him to simply step aside at the height of his “game”.
What I feel led to his downfall and ineffectiveness is related directly to the DNC leadership and Joe Biden’s presidential handlers and his immediate family. They should have not pressed for him to run for president and/or reelection. I call that elder abuse and yes it is a crime! – RTM
