Biden is doing a good job! Do you agree or disagree?

A sluggish recovery that went from 2009-2019.

One of the longest periods of growth in USA history. Slow and steady wins the race.
Very likely that recovery out did your country. Just like USA is out doing your country now.

 

It may be hard to believe this, but it is true. Things may change in the coming months.

 

I voted for Biden in 2020 as a transition president, someone between Trump and who ever came next. My vote was more against Trump than for Biden. Biden back in 2020 was an acceptable alternative to Trump, but only in transition from Trump to whoever would come next. As a transition president, I’d say the job Biden has done was okay. I didn’t expect much if anything other than to have Biden smile and act presidential. To bring back some normalcy to the office of the presidency. Something Trump never did, act presidential and have a normal presidency. Trump behavior as president was that of a spoiled 4-year-old brat with his name calling and throwing of temper tantrums. Way below the dignity the office of the presidency deserved. However, transition presidents don’t run for reelection. Biden had accomplished his mission the day after he won the 2020 election. It became time after that for someone new, a fresh younger face, a new generation to take over.

I would rate Biden’s overall job performance okay, not good, not bad, but okay for a transition president. Which was fine with me as Biden was to be a one term transition president only. At least in my book.

 

According to Gallup Polling Trump has an approval rating of 46% while Biden is at 37%. I think Biden’s underperformance makes a Trump 2nd term more likely. I think democrats turning a blind eye to Biden’s weak approval rating is an oversight that may come back to haunt them.

I wish democrats would dump Biden just as I wish republicans would dump Trump. But that is not going to happen so the partisan insanity continues.

 

U.S. GDP grew at a 5.2% rate in the third quarter, even stronger than first indicated

The U.S. economy grew at an even stronger pace then previously indicated in the third quarter, the product of better-than-expected business investment and stronger government spending, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday.

Gross domestic product, a measure of all goods and services produced during the three-month period, accelerated at a 5.2% annualized pace, the department’s second estimate showed. The acceleration topped the initial 4.9% reading and was better than the 5% forecast from economists polled by Dow Jones.

...
Economy is going strong.

 

Agree.
1 term would be nice. Age and all. And yes, a return to adulthood at the president level was needed.

Unfortunately, the 2x impeached child is still the front runner for the R party.
So, it may again be the vote of not trump. IMO, when push comes to shove in the voting booth, More R's will reject trump in the primaries. He has little chance in a general election.
As witnessed by 2018, 2020, 2022, 2023. More Americans are rejecting the 4 yr old mentality.

 

I don't have a country.

Obama's years compared to US economic history was sluggish. Basically, his policies dragged down the recovery.

 

LOL. 11 yrs of continued growth it one of the longest in USA history.

You don't have a country. LOL. What rubbish.

 

Yes, 11 years of growth, but the growth was sluggish compared to US history. If you need that basic sentence explained, just ask.

And correct, I don't have a country, I couldn't save up enough money to buy one. Which one did you buy?

 

I don't need anything explained.
But you can present a chart showing growth history in USA. You could earn brownie points.

It was one of the strongest economies in USA history. It nearly tripled in growth.

...
The lowest post–World War II annual average was under President Trump, at 1%. The economy was battered by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 despite healthy growth during the first three years of his term.

It's pretty embarrassing that we have this many folks who think he is doing a good job. Everyone who checked that box should hang their heads in shame.

When you look at the bunch of clowns he hired, it's little wonder we have such a clown administration. His top hiring priority was checking off the right political boxes. Very little attention given to qualifications. Like practically everything else he's done, the exact opposite of how it should be done.

 

You biggest beef is he hired non white non male people.

Well, that's not a terrible thing.

 

Not at all. There are minorities who are plenty qualified. But none of the qualified ones caught his attention. The vast majority of the people he hired were unqualified regardless of color or orientation. I think he also did a lot of personal favors with his hiring process. Another big no no if you want to have a legitimate administration. It's as if he picked the personnel and assigned them a position. See Mayor Pete as transportation secretary for an example.

 

How do you know if they are qualified or not?
Are you on the hiring or interview team?

Who is the one least qualified and why?

 

Garland, Mayor Pete, Mayorkas, Grisholm, Austin, Jean-Pierre, Sullivan, the list goes on and on. Their lack of qualifications and morals are all quite obvious.

It sounds like John Kirby was responsible for getting the 50 agents to lie about the laptop. And Jake Sullivan was up to his eyeballs in the Clinton funded Russian hoax.

 

When America recovers from recessions, the speed and timescale is noted. So come Obama v this historical data, the recovery was sluggish

https://www.heritage.org/jobs-and-labor/commentary/barack-obamas-sluggish-economy

Not sure what basic words you would like me to use. Obama's recovery per American standards was sluggish. That's not my fault, it's not your fault, it was just sluggish. Basically, if he left the economy alone, it might have recovered more quickly.

 

Not really. It was not that bad. Recovery from the greatest recession(down turn) since the great depression.
And performed better than trump over all.

I didn't mind the near tripling of the stock markets either in 8 yrs.

 

Oh, 50 agents eh?
Conspiracy theory. It's a nothingburger.

 

I'm not saying the recovery wasn't bad, it was just saying it was sluggish. Obama was like a Tony Blair, "Fine words butter no parsnips", type of guy. They had the talk, but that was about it. And they fooled Left Wingers on both sides of the pond.

 

Fooled them in what way? It may have been sluggish, your words, but it was one of the longest running in history.
Nearly tripling in 8 yrs. That's not bad. MY words

For example, Obama was fond of paraphrasing Martin Luther King's famed line that the arc of history bends towards justice. However, that curvature veered off in a wholly unexpected direction.

You can keep your doctor was another.

He was great at talking, he flattered his audience, but talk is not action, exactly the same as Blair. Obama was disastrous at race relations, he left office with a much more divided country. But hey, like I said, Obama and Blair fooled Lefties on both sides of the pond. You're welcome to try and support him, but count me out, I go by results and not character.

 

Obama, being black and elected 2X, certainly was a disaster for white male conservatives.
Another reason trump was elected. A white male that disliked black people.

I kept my doctor. Still have the same doctor 10 yrs later.

You seem to not know what happens in America. Are you getting your info in your country from USA fox lies?

 

Technically correct, a white Caucasian mother and a black African father, Obama is mixed race as opposed to black.

And although it was a presidency that began atop a mountain, it ended in something of a valley.

 

This thread is about Biden and his performance.

Not how racists came out of the woodwork after Obama 2nd term.

Or how racist your country is.
