We reported yesterday on the rambling mess of a speech President Biden gave where not only did he cough his way through his “here’s how we’re gonna battle the Omicron variant” presentation (though press secretary Jen Psaki has said “he’s asymptomatic”) but he also repeatedly lied about transmission rates and case counts among other things.
Despite the fact that we have become accustomed to this administration’s constant stream of embellishments and lies, there was one thing that stood out from Tuesday’s speech. It happened at the very end.
Normally after Biden gives a speech, he’s quickly ushered out of the room as questions are shouted by a desperate press corps, because his handlers are terrified he’ll say something embarrassing that either no one can translate or that they’ll have to walk back later. Biden, however, decided that he would interact with journalists in the room after yesterday’s remarks.
My colleague Nick Arama pointed out that it was a complete disaster. But there’s was one thing, in particular, he said to reporters that voters should not forget.
It came after a reporter asked him about his working relationship with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and how he (Biden) planned to “rebuild trust with progressives” on his legislative priorities. His answer was a long one, for him, but here’s what he said at the tip end of it:
Imagine being a parent, looking at a child, and you can’t afford — you have no house to borrow against, you have no savings. It’s wrong. However, all of the provisions in the bill will lower prices and costs for both middle-classes and working-class people. It’s going to reduce their costs.
What’s inflation? You will have to spend more money than you earn because prices have risen. Well, it’ll bring down all those costs across the board, from childcare to a Child Care Tax Credit.
But I’m not supposed to be having this press conference right now.

BIDEN – “I am not supposed to hold this press conference right away.”

In my opinion, that clip is one of the defining ones of Joe Biden’s presidency, and not in a good way. In it, he’s point-blank admitting that he – the leader of the free world – is controlled by those around him, people who I should point out for the record were not elected President of the United States.
It was reminiscent to me of that October town hall Biden did with CNN’s Anderson Cooper where, in the aftermath, we learned that Biden had briefly “rescued” CNN in terms of the number of viewers that tuned in to watch it. I thought it was an unfortunate and sad commentary by Joe Biden to say that he could save a failing news network, but not the country that he had been elected to.
This is another one of those times where a shameful and sobering commentary about Biden revealed itself for reasons I’ve explained before.
Joe Biden is a caricature of a President, a puppet of the radical left, and senior administration officials who have to routinely pull his strings and play clean-up when he messes things up, which must be an exhausting job since it’s a near-hourly occurrence with him.
Joe Biden’s problems, by and large, are self-inflicted, with the American people bearing the brunt of the harsh consequences for them. This is what happens when you rely on shadowy co-presidents and self-important wokesters to tell you who you can and can’t talk to and how to run things rather than manning up and actually making your own decisions based on careful considerations of all the facts.
All of these things should be remembered by voters as they prepare to vote in the 2024 election. Because one thing this country doesn’t need at this crucial point in its history is a feckless “leader” like Biden, who let’s face it is nothing more than a LINO – a Leader In Name Only.
