Oh Oh, It’s D’Oh

Writing for RealClearPolitics, scholar Charles Lipson does a topic-by-topic takedown of the Biden-in-office record over the past nine months. What he documents is a slow-motion train wreck for our country. See his conclusion.
What worries the White House now is more than the gaffes, confusion, failed policies, and sinking poll numbers. It is the public’s growing conviction that Biden is simply not up to the job. As his policies crash and burn, he refuses to change directions or acknowledge he is pursuing a divisive agenda far different from the one he ran on. As questions mount, he dispatches aides to parry them while he remains incommunicado.

It is not a happy picture. President Biden has squandered the public’s trust and morphed from his carefully constructed image as Good Ol' Scranton Joe into something closer to a fumbling, incompetent cartoon character: D’Oh Biden.

I hope Biden’s 81 million voters - most still alive - are enjoying the absence of mean Tweets. There hasn’t been much else to recommend the failed-by-any-standard Biden presidency. 

It is an echo of the Carter years, where we elected the anti-Nixon and he proved a disaster. Biden was elected as the anti-Trump and the results are similarly bad. How many times can our poor, suffering nation withstand learning this hard lesson?
