C'mon, Joe!

Jan. 16, 2023 (Vol. 17 No. 6) - I am an unapologetic fan of President Joe Biden. He is the least pretentious and most productive president we have had since the days of Ronald Reagan. Unlike the Gipper, who was able to get a lot of things done by garnering support from the other side of the aisle, Biden's substantial accomplishments have been largely accomplished without the help of and, frankly, despite the hinderance of the Republican Sedition Caucus. Our economy is slowly on the mend after the disastrous mess created by his predecessor, the Jipper. Even with the challenges the party in the White House traditionally faces during midterm elections, the Democrats actually gained ground in the Senate while barely losing the House. (And after what we saw last week, can we really say the Republicans are in control of the House?) Does Joe occasionally put his foot in his mouth? Yes, but who doesn't? It is a part of the endearing quality of the man. Yes, Joe has done a good job - even if the polls do not reflect it. However, I am not pleased about these reports of classified documents showing up in Biden's former office spaces and in the garage of his Delaware home. Considering what we have been through with The Con Man from Mar-a-Lago, this should not have happened. I know that the two situations are different. One returned the documents when discovered while the other actively engaged in a year-long deception to hide classified material from the National Archives. The two things are not the same. And yet, the former president's sycophants in the Sedition Caucus and the propagandists at Fox News now claim they are. I am deeply disappointed that Joe and his company have given the Disloyal Opposition even the slightest opportunity to claim of a moral equivalency. Let's not kid ourselves: American Democracy is still in peril. While Dangerous Donnie, Klansman Kevin and Rebel Rousin' Ronnie are plotting their next electoral coup, President Biden has to operate an Administration that is beyond reproach. This is not how you do it. C'Mon, Joe! Stop with the "the documents were safely locked in the garage with my Corvette" crap and keep your eye on the ball. That's it for now. Fear the Turtle!
