Watched it. I'll give a "
C" grade based on it being a boring presentation, no substantive gaffes, and touching on all that compassionate touchy-feely stuff that Democrats like to project. For persons not too deep into politics, Biden "
passed". In terms of this thread, Biden still did not take any genuine hard questions. Joe Concha, who writes for
The Hill, said on Fox News that the press pool was an embarrassment for failing to press Biden on his responses.
Though, I'm giving Biden's press conference a "
C" grade, Biden's credibility for me is zero (0), as in unbelievable. Clearly, I'm biased. Biden attempts to project himself as being for the "
middle class" and that he is a "
Union Man" (Biden gets quite animated on that point.) These claims are simply hot air and not supported by his acquiescence to progressive left wing ideology. Biden claimed that the would represent all Americans, even those who did not vote for him and if Biden really supported the middle class and unions; he would not be shutting-down the US oil&gas industry in such an aggressive, immediate, and dictatorial fashion.
Biden is also quite schizophrenic on a couple of topics. On one hand, Biden publicly claims to want to work with Republicans. But then in responding to the press (not necessarily at this press conference) concerning the lack of Republican "buy-in" on Biden's legislative proposals, Biden (paraphrased): "
I'm a pragmatic man, if the Republicans won't agree with MY agenda, then we (Democrats) must proceed". That is not compromising, that is steamrolling the opposition. No attempt to work with the Republicans. Biden also tossed in the lie that most Republican voters as opposed to Republican politicians, approved of his initiatives.
Another schizophrenic topic is so called "
voting rights". Biden became quite animated on this topic. He essentially tossed in the never ending lie by Democrats that the Republicans are "
suppressing the right to vote". Biden leaves out that the Democrats want to remove all impediments to voting, such a voter identification. That will essentially destroy the concept of voter integrity, thereby creating opportunities for fraud. The recall of Governor Newsom is currently underway in California. Part of the process involves signing a recall petition (equivilant to a ballot). Of the signatures collected so far,
18.33% of the signatures have proven to be invalid. Hypothetically, applying that error rate to a ballot would mean that there is a potential that without voter identification at the time a ballot that there could be a high error therby leading to a "
fraudulent" election result. The Democrats, led by Biden, should be for voter identification and cleaning-up the election roles if they are really concerned about the integrity of the voting process.
On transparency, Bide once again claimed that his administration would be "
transparent". When pressed by a reporter on what that meant, Biden responded (paraphrased): "
When we are ready to share information with you". That is not being transparent.
As a side-note. When Biden was campaigning and conducting a press conference, the supposed "
reporters" acted more like planted Democratic operatives who tossed Biden pre-approved soft-ball "
questions". It was blatantly obvious. For this press conference, I couldn't tell if the reporters were pre-selected or not based on their "
support" for Biden.
