President Biden is vindicated in my eyes

High prices happened under his watch, but things more out of his control than within his control.

We supported Ukraine, but never had boots on the ground and no casualties, while American soldier blood and Iranian schoolgirl blood is on the felon’s hands in a vastly unpopular war.

Maybe he had his senior moments, yet somehow never had social media tirades, threatened to bomb others, mock others or publicly make demands dropping f-bombs.

Remember when we had a real president? That was boring, when we just lived our everyday lives. Let’s go back to those days in 2028.

1. I don't know how they incited so many people to hate Joe Biden. He is nicest guy you would ever meet.

He is also honest and ethical. And I’d rather have a present with a senior moment or two then complete contempt for humanity like we have now Joe Biden loves people. he is a Christian who practices his faith

We have lost touch with our own humanity I believe. We would rather see AI or Twitter than use our own judgment. We should be able to tell when someone is lying. It’s a built-in to our chemistry.

Another thing, if Iran shot down one of our jets under Biden’s presidency, we’d have never heard the end of it from MAGAts.

5. Biden didn't cause inflation - Trump has caused inflation. And he didn't need vindication.

Biden's 4 year numbers in terms of GDP and wage growth stack up against anyone's.

Tramp's tariffs are anti growth and pro inflation not to mention his anti capitalist moves against industries he doesn't like and the gutting of research funding which is an engine of growth.

Biden wasn’t a mean or unkind person, and most importantly, he had sane advisors behind him.

It is quite sad that the cruel, disrespectful, and at times intentionally dishonest coverage by our illustrious media of the coverage of President Biden term as president, without a doubt helped lead us to the disaster we are going through now. They did a similar thing in the coverage of Hillary in 2016, and actually Gore in 2000.

The myth of the “ liberal” media started by Fox and Bernard Goldberg , was the start of the demise of the fourth estate in this country.

53%. of Americans said the economy was better under Biden.

This was true all along, of course, but finally President Biden grudgingly gets his due. I listened to one of these interviews on the street, this one at a gas pump. The guy sounded like a former Trump supporter but said he missed Uncle Joe.

(sigh)

He did a bang-up job, opposed by a powerful and seditious republican party.
