    This examines what Joe Biden is really telling us when he says he wants to fix America. Obama failed. And we'd be fools to want to revive that.

    =

    Tweeting Sunday from, presumably, his basement, Joe Biden promised that if elected this fall, “we won’t just rebuild this nation – we’ll transform it.” Did he forget that he was for eight years vice president in the administration whose chief executive said just before the 2008 election that we were “five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America”? Apparently, Barack Obama didn’t get the job done.

    So it’s up to Biden, or so he supposes. The man who was not only No. 2 for two terms, but was an elected federal lawmaker for 44 years, will have to plug the holes left by Obama.

    It’s up to him to guide the Democratic party through its full transition to the party of the deranged; ram through a soul- and economy-shredding New Green Deal; fan the hate-America flames; encourage the cancel culture; emasculate males; make the federal tax system as punitive as possible; appoint a Black Lives Matter co-founder to a top federal post; further insulate our institutional elitists who have long lived in a bubble; regulate, regulate, regulate; violate then try to repeal the First and Second Amendments; mainstream The Squad’s lunatic policies and Marxist views; prosecute a war on plastic; and give the country more Venezuela.

    If by hard-left standards, Obama’s was a failed presidency, it also came up short in terms of any constructive work he could have done.

    For instance, the former community organizer, and the “new Kennedy,” oversaw the weakest, slowest economic recovery in America’s post-war history. He frittered away public money on a financial stimulus that had the opposite effect. He widened a racial divide that had been closing for decades. His foreign policy took America from a position of strength to one in which the White House’s “red line” was a backtracking marker, a soft spot that invited bad-faith leaders of other nations to exploit. The national health care program named after him has been a debacle.


    Never missing a chance to lowlight the country that provided him with an opportunity he’d have nowhere else on Earth, Obama said the U.S. was nothing special. His administration overflowed with scandals, from the IRS targeting conservative groups that opposed his policies, to gunwalking weapons to drug traffickers in Mexico and the U.S., to the 2012 attack on an American facility in Benghazi, Libya, in which four Americans were murdered by terrorists, including the ambassador to the country, to Obama’s leading role in the attempted coup of President Donald Trump.

    It’s neither crazy nor racist to say Obama was the worst president of our lifetimes, maybe the worst in our modern era. It’s simply the truth. But that could change. If Biden is elected, he just might even be worse.

    The senile corrupt racist twit, Joe Biden, is not worth a pimple on Barack Obama's butt.
    Obama defied the military industrial complex including all of the USG's secret police/spy agencies to keep America out of another major war.

    Biden is the latest crooked DP candidate for 'War, Wall Street and the Walmart economy'.

    The economy would have actually improved more by itself had he not hampered it.

    As for fixing bush's problems well he didn't actually do anything other than follow the plans that Bush had already set in motion.

    Well he had the cash for clunkers thing but that hardly pulled us out of the mess.

    . Exactly 11 years ago today, February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 or the Recovery Act into law. The $831 billion in spending kicked off the longest period of economic growth and job creation in American history.

    LOL... You are still beating that drum.....Of course it had nothing to do with what Clinton signed for the commodities trading act... But sure... And then Barry saved us... even though he didn't, actually, and his hand breaking caused the economy to stagnate while he was commandeering it to pay for all of his free stuff campaigns while he wasn't using his executive agencies as weapons against his enemies... Oh well..

    And just to put some sanity back into the conversation, folks like you would have us at nearly 30% unemployment based on the number of businesses you'd destroy with your shut everything down policy. Hmm.. How about this, shut down government too. See how well that flies in your house. As long as folks who support democrats aren't effected because they rely on an "essential" or government pay service, they won't care about the pain endured by the rest of Americans.

    Poor Joe is all over the map, depending on which of his speech writer's notes he happens to pick up.

    She should have told him 6 months ago that it was time to hang up his hat. I would hope my wife would respect me enough to do so, actually I'm confident that she would.

    The closer we get to the Trump/Biden debates, the funnier this will get. The party will belatedly (meaning, officially) realize how badly Joe is slipping but they can't order a re-do of their own primaries in the short time remaining before November. Their VP choices will all be to the left of Karl Marx, another enticement for those Blue Dogs out there, you betcha!...and the media will be in knots, once that VP Commitment is final. They'd now have to cover for that candidate's various political sins as well as for Sniffer Joe's.

    Can't wait to hear Joe explain to the black organizations why Obama sent Iran $170 b-as-in-billion but did nothing to help U.S. black unemployment.

    Why? She is nothing more than a political hack who wants to be First Lady. Just being on the stage with her husband while smiling as he bumbles and stumbles shows she is not an honorable person. The MSM went after Nancy when she tried to prop up Reagan so where are they now? Why they are in Joe's corner making a fool of themselves right along with Joe's wife.
