Two words on why we have to live with the reality of Joe Biden as President: Kamala Harris.
The WSJ has failed to perceive in VP Harris even the minimum knowledge or capacity for the job.
We are fated, cautions the WSJ, “to make the best of the President we have.”
(VP Harris) was chosen as a bow to identity politics to unite the Democratic Party in the election campaign, not for her ability to fill the President’s shoes. In the last 14 months she has failed to demonstrate even the minimum knowledge or capacity for the job.
A Gaff for the Ages
What exactly is a gaff? Journalist Michael Kinsley once declared a gaffe is when “a politician tells the truth—some obvious truth he isn’t supposed to say.”
By this standard, the ad-lib from the final sentence of President Biden’s Warsaw speech may be a gaffe for the ages, writes William A. Galston in the WSJ.
Administration officials scurried to walk back the suggestion that regime change in Russia was among the objectives of U.S. assistance to Ukraine. America’s NATO ambassador, Julianne Smith, suggested (plausibly enough) that Mr. Biden’s words represented “a principled human reaction” to his encounter earlier in the day with hundreds of desperate Ukrainian refugees.
With Biden’s approval rating on the economy at about 33 percent, Ukraine looks like a desperate “gambit for a president who is getting absolutely clobbered,” suggests Peter Van Buren in SpectatorWorld.com.
