I'll limit it to six comments:
1. Compared to some past moments of 2021....he seemed reasonably sharp.
2. On the Russia comment, he's already accepted the idea that an invasion will occur....some piece of the Ukraine will be carved off, and there's not much the US will do other than sanctions.
3. 'I don't believe the polls' comment. Bill Clinton lived and breathed by the polls....every ounce of success in the Clinton era....came from analyzing the polls and changing course when necessary. So whatever you saw for 2021.....is still the course for Joe Biden and team in 2022.
4. Some people (after the press conference) used the term 'foggy' to discuss how Joe Biden saw things. I would suggest that he reminded me of a old guy who was simply out of his league and doing the best he could. From all the Senate years....the chief talent that he showed....was embellishment of his record. I simply saw the same talent at work.
5. He did say that for the 2024 campaign (he intends to run)....that VP Harris will be his choice for VP. I think she was standing there in a state of shock.
6. It was not a bad press conference, but if you were a Democrat and looking for some great moment of inspiration.....sorry, you just didn't get that. I personally doubt that you will get another press conference for at least six months.
My response to your Comment One:
ReplyDeleteWhich impersonator did they prop in front of the camera?
.
A senile doddering fog-brain does not suddenly become LeaderOfTheFreeWorld after losing control of his bowels while meeting the pope.
The evidence strongly suggests multiple impersonators...
