I'm not sure that I've ever seen the occupant of the White House do a worse job than Joe Biden.
It seems like everything he has done since he came in has made things worse. We had a recovering economy, low inflation, and energy independence. But he blew all that in record time to the disastrous mess that we have now.
There are a lot of things that one can criticize about him, including his penchant for exaggeration and failure to tell the truth. But one of the things that truly sticks in my craw is his effort to pitch himself as such an empathetic human being -- while treating the American people badly. We've seen that now, again and again, most notably when it came to Afghanistan where he refused to take any responsibility for the debacle and how shamelessly he treated the Gold Star families.
We saw it again with his "no comment" on Maui and comparing what they had to go through with his kitchen fire. As I reported, Hawaiians let him have it with a brilliant sign about his callous remark that was all about himself.
What the people of Maui wanted was help and evidence that Biden cared after they had to deal with such chaos and a lot of failure of government in dealing with the fire. Instead what they got was Biden showing up for a photo-op for five hours and then fleeing back to his vacation. He promised help while there, and I hope they get it, but given how the response to the fire has rolled out so far and his track record, I would doubt it.
After the photo op, Biden resumed his vacation, going to spinning and Pilates classes and hanging out at a billionaire's house. Priorities. But he'll yell about billionaires paying their "fair share."
I wrote about the bizarre comments he made on Friday after coming out of one of those classes, including how he smirked and made a joking comment about former President Donald Trump's mug shot. But what was also striking was how much he was booed after he came out and was talking to reporters. You could hear it for about a minute and a half into this video and then it picks up again strongly at about 4:00. They not only were booing him, they were yelling things I couldn't make out but I think I heard, "You shouldn't be here."

The American people know who's responsible for the present mess and they're not going to be shy about letting him know that they know. He can try to sell us a bill of goods about Bidenomics, but we know the difference between what we had before he came in and now what we have after. We know how we're having to pay hundreds more a month out of our pockets just for food and necessities.
People loved that he was heading from the American people in a way that he could not deny.
The best part is the look on his face when he hears it https://t.co/j1S0XQSfSb

I initially wasn't sure before that he was getting it in the first minute and a half, but he most definitely was by the end at the 4:00 minute mark. His response? A smirk and a wave goodbye. That's his response to the American people. It's like the initial flippant Maui response.
In 2024, that's what we need to deliver him -- a smirk and a wave goodbye, for all how he has harmed this country.
