<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In recent weeks, the Democrat strategy to get President Biden elected to a second term has unfolded. ; It is no longer an effort to explain away his policy failures … his gaffes … his senior moments … or his frequent falls and near falls. ; The is no appreciating the economic fear and pain being felt by the American people. ; No. ; No. ; No. ; ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All that is brushed aside for a campaign of political canonization.  ; Or put another way, Biden is an intellectual and physical SUPERMAN.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aides describe the elderly Biden as full of energy. ; Staffers half his age cannot keep up with him – so they say. ; White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre ;attested to his phenomenal energy. ; In addition, he is a mental powerhouse – a man who relies on years of experience as a Washington establishmentarian to out negotiate … ; out maneuver … and outwit his political adversaries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the first to get the proverbial “memo” from the White House was MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell – arguably the network’s most mendacious propaganda spinner (with everyone else in the MSNBC line-up in a close second place).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to O’Donnell, Biden is a political genius. ; He was brilliant in his handling of the (phony) debt ceiling crisis. ; O’Donnell claimed that Biden’s abandoning his firmly stated position that he would not sign anything but a “clean” Debt Ceiling Bill – and wound-up negotiating concessions from that position – was a brilliant strategy. ; He did not cave. ; He only made it “appear” that he caved to trick House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. ; Of course, that makes absolutely no sense – but such extreme bullpoop rarely does.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">O’Connell’s re-write of history reminded me of Inspector Clouseau in the “Pink Panther” movies. ; Every time he stumbled, he would get up and insist that the pratfall was planned for some implied cleaver reason.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Within days, the entire team of Biden media lackies were on script. ; Biden is a genius. ; “Morning Joe’s” Mike Barnicle was waxing on about how Biden’s long experience in Washington has made him a premier negotiator – with no peers.  ; Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and the rest of the “Morning Joe” cast were all singing the praises of the President from the White House song sheet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite the fact that most Americans feel the economy is in bad shape – and the nation is going in the wrong direction – the canonization crowd describes Biden as an economic genius who has produced the best economy in history. ; The only problem is that the people back home are too stupid to realize how good they have it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite Biden’s incredibly light work schedule – and his lazy days back home in Delaware on most weekends – staffers and sycophants keep talking about his heavy workload – and his superhuman ability to keep up with it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Team Biden is peddling the image of a virile, competent, sound-minded President working tirelessly every day – producing nothing but good things for the American people. ; That is what they want us to see.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But … what do we see?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We see a President who seems to have old-age stability problems. ; We see a President with a very light daily schedule – often with nothing on the schedule for the entire day. ; We see a President whose public appearances and press conferences are rare and tightly controlled. ; We see a President who seems to have senior moments when left on his own. ; He forgets. ; He gets confused. ; He gaffes. ; He needs cheat sheets to tell him to say hello to meeting participants – and to take his seat. ; We see a President who needs pre-planned questions from the press – with prepared answers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And what about the economy? ; We see – and feel – the ravages of inflation – an inflation partly caused by Biden’s war on domestic oil production and reckless federal spending. ; We see a humanitarian crisis at the border – a crisis that Biden refuses to address, at best, or promotes, at worse.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We see the unprecedented impact of crime on our communities. ; As a result, we see massive looting and shoplifting that has businesses abandoning high-crime communities and cities. ; We see the impact of illegal immigration on crime and drug addiction. ; ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We still remember Biden’s unilateral decision to precipitously surrender in Afghanistan – and his snail-pace support of the war in Ukraine.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The White House&#8217;s reaction to what we see is like that line from the Marx brothers’ movie. ; “Who you going to believe, me or your lying eyes.” ; Considering the fact that Biden’s favorable rating hovers in the mid 30 or low 40 percentiles, I guess we know the answer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps the efforts to polish Biden’s image would not be such a failure if the claims were not so profoundly preposterous.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, there ‘tis.</p>

White House Peddling Superman Biden … and They are Not Joking
