Although President Biden spent most of 2021 avoiding press conferences, he did hold one on Wednesday, which was panned as being a "total disaster."
The White House had high hopes for the press conference — hoping to paint the administration as a less-cloistered outfit that embraces the public and transparency. With Biden's ever sinking popularity numbers, the president was expected to cast himself as a competent leader, who is in touch with the problems of everyday American voters. However once again President Joe fell short on his objectives, some might even say he fell flat on his face.
Perhaps the most startling comment of the evening was Biden’s response to a question about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The seemingly confused leader of the free world said that while he believes an invasion is imminent, the United States is prepared to impose significant economic consequences should Russia move forward. But, he clarified, a “minor incursion” by the Russians would elicit a softer response from the U.S. than that of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
It is truly unfortunate for the American people and for that matter for others worldwide when the press secretary and other administration figures repeatedly have to tell people that an aging, visibly slowed president didn’t mean what he obviously said, it is time to start wondering if the president is all there and is actually in charge a question so many of us desire an answer to.
