My Favorite From Biden Presser

[WHITT]

To the press gaggle:

Can you think of any other President who has done as much in one year?

Name one for me.

OH SMACK!

[Lovie777]

1. K & R . . .

[spanone]

2. This after 20 questions of 'why is your presidency failing?'.

FUCK THE MEDIA

[Mad_Machine76]

22. The MSN headline was about him being defensive

[Dirty Socialist]

3. He will have to do more of these

[lunatica]

5. This is exactly what I've been hoping for.

[Cha]

8. Yes, I was thinking

the same!

[wnylib]

14. Yes. He was open and transparent,

giving insight to how he thinks on major domestic and foreign issues. He handled the jackasses masquerading as journalists very well, as good as or better than Psaki.

[irisblue]

4. Honestly, FDR leapt to mind. But 1933 was 1933 not 2021

And FDR had a congress that backed him

[Walleye]

6. A little of Harry Truman

[irisblue]

7. Fair point

[WHITT]

11. A Lot Of What Is Known

as the 'New Deal', wasn't enacted until 1935, and was at the time known as the 'Second New Deal'.

[Joinfortmill]

9. Joe's the man! Calm and restrained with the sting of truth.

[whathehell]

10. Yes!

and NONE could name even one.

I love the way he handles the press, especially at the way he openly laughs at some Fox and Newsmax reporters.

[raging moderate]

12. Unlike Trump, who screamed and snarled at them.

Trump thought he was being so smart when he snarled at them, "That is a horrible question, and you are a horrible person!" Sometimes it was a routine question that a decent president would have used as an invitation to a detailed recount of his accomplishments, as Biden did today.

[whathehell]

18. Of course..

Trump had zero professionalism..There's really
no comparison.

[NJCher]

13. oh good, did he laugh at that Newsmax guy?

on the question about how 49% of people thought he was in cognitive decline? The reporter asked why they thought that (dumb question right there) and Biden responded, "I have no idea."

Which is the only right answer to that question. How is anyone supposed to answer a question about other peoples' motives?

Of course the question was a cheap trick to get this figure (which I have to check out--it's probably another lie) in front of the public during this high profile press conference.

I heard this on the radio in the car so I couldn't tell if Biden laughed at him.

[wnylib]

15. I heard it on the radio, too - NPR.

I liked the way that, after saying, "I have no idea," he moved on to the next reporter. Don't waste time with the assholes.

[NJCher]

23. yeah, if this reporter

thought he was going to score some points for conservatives, he delivered a big disappointment, mostly because of the way Biden gave it no time.

This reporter who is now working for Newsmax was fired from Fox.

E.J. Dionne said that the situation they were in (lengthy press conference) answered this question of mental agility: who else could stand there and answer questions for close to two hours?

His response to the Russia question and Putin alone should have put that to rest.

[whathehell]

17. He.didn't laugh at him, but his question didn't

seem to affect him at all..His expression never changed, and it was like, "Next".

It was a cheap trick, of course, and I think his statistic. at least for Democrats, was likely bullshit.

[orleans]

19. i was listening to the radio tool.

i don't know if it was the chicago station or nationally--but they cut it off so they could talk about it!
pissed me off! (it was around 4:50 central time)

[bucolic_frolic]

16. I caught only a couple minutes of it, but this was brilliant strategy

Joe really believes what he says, he very facts, truth, and reality based, he's told us 'the best ideas win', and he's taking it to the hoop. He runs one finely-crafted operation.

Once the media is a megasphere of lies, you can drive the truth right down the middle.

[Geechie]

20. I like that! Very apt:

“Once the media is a megasphere of lies, you can drive the truth right down the middle.”

[IronLionZion]

21. Obama did quite a bit

but Biden got his stuff done with fewer senators
