Jill Has to Rescue Joe From Gaggle of Reporters Before They Leave for Yet Another Vacation – Opinion

By Pluralist / June 17, 2022

Joe Biden spent this week blaming inflation and the skyrocketing prices of gas. While he was trying to place blame on Vladimir Putin this week, Biden also took the time to blame oil and shipping corporations.

He threatened the oil companies for not producing enough gas, without acknowledging that he’s been anti-energy and fossil fuels since he ran, contributing to the problem by stopping drilling, canceling leases, and imposing restrictions ever since he came in. He claimed the oil and shipping companies were doing this for greed and profit, without explaining why they suddenly ‘turned so greedy’ on his watch. This was nonsense, as we noted — an effort to shift away from his failures.

Biden blamed Americans for their dissatisfaction with him. He claimed they were “really, really done” because they had mental health issues as a result of the COVID pandemic. Your bad policies are causing their distress. That’s very sound thought about very bad policies.

But now that he’s blamed everyone else and taken no responsibility himself, he’s grabbed Jill and the cat, and headed out the door to the beach before noon on Friday for yet another vacation at his house in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Monday is a federal holiday so he’ll have a long weekend.

You can look at his vacation hours in a few different ways. One, he doesn’t give a darn about the mess he leaves behind, and two, maybe when he’s on vacation, he’s being a little less harmful to us than normal. This just displays his priorities once more.

He couldn’t quite get away without the media trying to nail him and ask him some questions first. Jill arrived to help him, and he was able to stop talking for a while with them.

“It should not be this high,” the president told reporters on the lawn. “They’re making exorbitant profits, number one. Number two, I’ve contacted them, my team has, to ask what their plans are and to give any suggestions they have.”

He added: “There are 9,000 leases — 9,000 — that they can drill … but they’re not doing it.”

Biden went on, “Number three, I think we’re going to be in a position where we’re gonna —.”

That would have been very interesting, though, to see his thoughts expanding upon his threats against oil companies. But his wife stopped him, and eventually pulled him away.

So they made it to Delaware, where they don’t have to report who they’re meeting with–and there aren’t records of his gaffes.

Joe tried earlier to hide the fact that he was retracting his statement that Saudi Arabia was a pariah for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi (a Washington Post columnist), who wasn’t an American citizen. But he’s planning to go to convince Saudi Arabia to help with gas prices.

That didn’t go over well with some of his leftist base. So, he also tried to evade responsibility even for his actions, saying he wasn’t going to meet with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. “I’m not going to meet with MBS. I’m going to international meeting and he’s going to be part of it.” Translation: I’m not going to meet with him, I’m just going to meet with him while I’m there. It doesn’t seem like there is a significant difference.

But that’s Joe Biden’s logic.
