Does it matter to you that President Biden has been so inaccessible to the public and the press?
Even if he were taking regular questions, with the press by-and-large not asking the critical questions that need to be asked– would we learn anything, anyway?
My main observation is that if President Trump had stiff-armed the press for an historic number of weeks, been relatively absent from public view, and failed to give the traditional February speech to Congress, what would the press have been saying?
Top that off with: what if a relatively invisible President Trump had then stumbled and fallen up the stairs of Air Force One?
I don’t think an hour would have gone by without the media pushing an international drumbeat claiming Trump was avoiding the press, was somehow violating the law, was hiding his mental and physical incompetence, and should be impeached.
Why do you think Biden has been so inaccessible? Perhaps did he see that being very public didn’t serve Trump with the press? Or is it something else?
Is it too much to expect more? Maybe Presidents should do their business largely in private and they can be more effective that way.
Where is the “Red Line” or a Lincoln line??
The line beyond which most any and every freedom-loving patriotic American would say, not just no, but “HELL NO!” beyond this line we must not go!?
The line that would tell every patriot that we must NOT go beyond this line or else there is little hope of America remaining free.
The Lincoln line.
The line that would indicate ‘that government of the people, by the people and for the people’ will likely perish from the USA.
Without that line we will be like the frog who did not know that he was being boiled alive.
His handlers, and the press, are keeping Biden hidden as much as possible because he’s unfit for the office. He was absent during the election so why would we expect anything different now? He’s showing many of the classic signs of dementia. If there were any responsible adults around him they wouldn’t let him near sharp objects, much less positions of power.
The main goal of the Democrats right now is to keep Biden alive and somewhat coherent until after Jan 21, 2022. Two years and one day into his “Presidency”. Then they’ll mount a coup and 25th him and install Harris, giving her the opportunity to run twice more for office
Right now I”m reading the book “Lucky” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes about how the Democrats crammed Biden through the election process because he was the only “hope” for the Democrats to have a chance to possible beat both Sanders (for the nomination) and Trump. Unlike another “hope” he’s not going to save the universe but he could destroy this country. Once you get past/ignore the typical media lies/tripe about how there was no election fraud, it does give good insight into how the Democrats pushed Biden through.
We know how the media treated Trump. If Trump had brought world peace and solved world hunger the liberal media would still have crucified him. Just as we know how they’ll treat any Democrat, who can do nothing wrong.
Presidents can be effective whether they’re public about their office or not. It’s not the publicity that makes them effective, or not. It’s them. The publicity can create a perception, an image, of the person/office, right or wrong. The media will create the office holders image in their own image for their own narrative. Country and truth be damned
The media (and to a lesser extent the political parties) has (have) turned this country into a continuous Jerry Springer show. Until and unless we the people hold the media accountable for their actions, until we start refusing to be manipulated by them, remove the financial rewards for their lies, this is going to continue and we’re (America) are going to be a declining country.
The normal pattern of elusive behaviour by an elected official, is due to that person trying to cover over an issue, or, there is some major factor that they do not want the electorate to know about them. Either way the Politico is depriving those who vote for them, of knowledge needed to make an informed voting decision
Unfortunately his pen isn’t invisible.
I heard they wont even let him have a cell phone for fear he will do something himself.
