I'm not convinced he has done a good job. It's a fool's errand to judge stuff as it happens and whether it is good or bad. Sending aid to the Afghan rebels in the 1980s was seen as an awesome decision. In the aftermath of 9/11/01, it certainly isn't quite as awesome. Biden has no effect on the economy or most day-to-day things that affect Americans. What he has definitely done right is Ukraine, including getting Allies on board. He's been able to get nations to trust the US again, Europe and Pacific, so that NATO is 99% unified and in the Pacific, you know have ROK/JPN cooperation again and new Sth Pac cooperation between Australia/UK/US/FRA--along with India once you get to the Indian Ocean. Just as important, he's not typing crap onto Twitter on a daily basis. He actually acts presidential and that is a big deal in the moment. A calm president is a calm country (which is why Ike golfed all the time and made sure reporters were with him taking those photos) your last two paragraphs describes a pretty good first term. I’m thinking even the wack jobs don’t miss the daily inane tweets, constant turnover of appointments and staff, Jared, Rudy, Betsy DeVos, all the felons ... that Orange delivered. ✝️

and let's not forget, Biden has done a pretty good job in his first term. If only people would give him credit for what he has accomplished. I'm not convinced he has done a good job. It's a fool's errand to judge stuff as it happens and whether it is good or bad. Sending aid to the Afghan rebels in the 1980s was seen as an awesome decision. In the aftermath of 9/11/01, it certainly isn't quite as awesome. Biden has no effect on the economy or most day-to-day things that affect Americans.

Just as important, he's not typing crap onto Twitter on a daily basis. He actually acts presidential and that is a big deal in the moment. A calm president is a calm country (which is why Ike golfed all the time and made sure reporters were with him taking those photos) I didn’t think you would be that easily fooled by someone but obviously you are. You want the appearance of integrity. You really don’t want the true honor of integrity. You go back and watch tapes of Joe Biden even 10 years ago And what he supposedly believed then is the exact opposite of what he’s saying now. You go back 20 years he’s completely different because Joe Biden is whatever people want him to be at the time. The same man he used to hang out with racist people and didn’t want schools to segregate.. While you complain and moan and groan about Donald Trump and how he isn’t presidential, you have a wishy washy president that tells you everything you want to hear and evidently that’s all it takes.How completely selfish of you. It’s all about you and what makes you comfortable instead of what’s best for the country in the long run. And I am so sick and tired of comfortable affluent people (like so many people on this board) telling about how the economy is just fine. (Another completely selfish outlook). How many people with a meager Social Security check do you know that are not having trouble making ends meet? Have you even bothered to talk to anyone in that situation? Because I guarantee you this economy is killing them. Start giving a crap about people who are truly affected by this economy.

Over 12 million jobs created since Biden took office. Inflation continues to fall. Things are pretty good.

The US is at full employment and has had the lowest level of inflation coming out of COVID than any other G7 country. Facts.

The US is at full employment and has had the lowest level of inflation coming out of COVID than any other G7 country. Facts. yep, and the fact is the economy sucks here. Groceries are much too high and so are basic goods. Have you went to McDonald’s lately? Have you went to the gas pump lately? Have you went to Walmart lately? Not everyone is on daddy’s trust fund. Most people find this overwhelming.

Businesses are acting this way because consumers will be more likely to accept higher prices during inflationary periods.

Businesses are acting this way because consumers will be more likely to accept higher prices during inflationary periods. So you are admitted in the prices are too high. That’s progress. Now as far as I know Social Security checks are still pretty dismal for folks that have worked in basic jobs their entire lives. My renter that lives in one of my duplex’s has had to sell her car to afford to pay her bills. She is 75 years old. Now her daughter has to take her everywhere.

Perhaps you should give your tenant a break on her rent. After all you are a guy who has so much money you can't be bothered to fill out a bit of paperwork for some $3000. And yes prices are too high but not as high as they could have been. Do you agree that part of that high price is the result of businesses taking advantage of inflation by raising prices for profits because they can?

She is Literally paying less than $325 on a two bedroom. That is about half of market value. The utilities are killing her and she shut off her television, the one thing she was able to entertain herself with. The cost of living Is killing her. It’s time you stop trying to find any other excuses and just admit that this administration sucks on the economy.
