Worst President in history. Thanks libs
If we knew who that was. "His aides did this, his aides did that..." Was the country being run by a group of interns in their 20s?
Some lawmakers on the call believed someone behind the camera was shutting it down.
Who were these people behind the camera and what authority did they have?
That has been the important question from the beginning. Biden would be in public and shoot his mouth off about something like saying we support Taiwan's indeoendence, then the next morning some minor state department underling would come out and say "oh the president just misspoke, of course we still be in the one china policy and nothing has changed in that relationship". Says who? I know what the guy that was actually elected to run the country just said. Now who is going around behind him and deciding he didn't mean what he just said and telling some state dept flunky to go countermand the statement by the elected president of the country? Who has been doing that for the last four years and under what authority?
From the article:
"Senior advisers were often put into roles that some administration officials and lawmakers thought Biden should occupy, with people such as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and National Economic Council head Lael Brainard and her predecessor frequently in the position of being go-betweens for the president."
"Some donors said they noticed how staff stepped in to mask other signs of decline. Throughout his presidencyand especially later in the termBiden was assisted by a small group of aides who were laser focused on him in a far different way than when he was vice president, or how former presidents Bill Clinton or Obama were staffed during their presidencies, people who have witnessed their interactions said."
These aides, which include Annie Tomasini and Ashley Williams, were often with the president as he traveled and stayed within earshot or eye distance, the people said. They would often repeat basic instructions to him, such as where to enter or exit a stage."
Obviously, it was a carefully choreographed process with lots of enablers. I thought it was always understood that it was Ron Klain who was the actual President for the first two years, the only question was just how far up his tookus Obama's hand went. My assumption would be it went up very far.
