But his excuse for Joe Biden \u2014 the latest Democratic talking point to excuse his failures \u2014 isn\u2019t going to help him. Indeed, it makes him sound worse. According to Harwood, there\u2019s not much Biden can do about any of the problems that are plaguing the country.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s just not much President Joe Biden can do about it.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s not much he can do to curb inflation.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s not much he can do to stop migrants from reaching America\u2019s southern border.<br \/>\nOr to reduce crime,<br \/>\nor to make vaccine resisters get shots that would hasten the end of the coronavirus pandemic.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s not much he can do to compel cooperation from defectors within his thin Democratic congressional majorities. There is nothing at all he can do to compel it from Republican adversaries who would rather aggravate than alleviate his burdens.<\/p>\n<p>But this appears to be the new talking point for some of the media. Here it is on ABC, as well, on Sunday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New media line: President Biden has nothing to do with causing inflation and has no power to do anything about it. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GStephanopoulos?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GStephanopoulos<\/a>: \u201cWhen it comes to inflation, there\u2019s not much the President can do about it.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MariaESalinas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MariaESalinas<\/a>: \u201cThere\u2019s not much he can do about it.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ThisWeek?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ThisWeek<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CQKDxYjheM\">pic.twitter.com\/CQKDxYjheM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Brent Baker \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@BrentHBaker) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrentHBaker\/status\/1515703343632752644?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 17, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Harwood even admits that Joe Biden\u2019s policies led to inflation, \u201cLiberal and conservative economists share a growing consensus that Biden\u2019s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan last year pumped too much money into the economy.\u201d But his response? \u201cYet the White House can\u2019t fundamentally alter that reality now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oh, great, so we should just suffer when he was told it was wrong and he did it anyway? When he lied to us about inflation being \u201ctransitory\u201d for months? When he continues to lie about it being Putin\u2019s fault? And the worst thing is that Biden would have spent even more on the plans that he was trying to push through Congress which \u2014 if he had gotten them \u2014 would have driven up inflation even more. So either he was still ignorant as to what causes inflation or he\u2019s just so wedded to spending for the Democratic agenda that he doesn\u2019t care how much it might hurt Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Harwood\u2019s excuse for Biden on the border crisis was even worse.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In that Harwood said, Biden was just a \u201cvictim of circumstances.\u201d \u201cTo the extent that further increases resulted simply from trading Trump\u2019s harsh-on-immigrants profile for Biden\u2019s more congenial one, the incumbent can\u2019t change that.\u201d Are you kidding? From day one he tried to halt everything that had been successful with Trump\u2019s border plan. Indeed, it\u2019s gotten worse ever since Biden came in exactly because of his policies. Harwood is upset that some \u201celectorally vulnerable Democrats have joined the pile-on from the right\u201d in criticizing Biden. The electorally vulnerable Democrats know they\u2019re going to be held responsible for Biden\u2019s policies and rightly so if they don\u2019t try to stop those policies.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine thinking that it\u2019s a good talking point to push that there\u2019s nothing much he can do. Biden already looks weak and incompetent. So you\u2019re going to try this gambit that there isn\u2019t anything he can do after he created most of these problems or made them worse? You\u2019re going with, \u201cOh, well\u201d? You go with that, you\u2019re going to make that weakness and incompetence look even more problematic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-1\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-1&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X3NwYWNlX2NhcmQiOnsiYnVja2V0Ijoib2ZmIiwidmVyc2lvbiI6bnVsbH19&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1515835828924293129&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fnick-arama%2F2022%2F04%2F17%2Fmedia-has-a-new-talking-point-to-defend-joe-biden-but-it-makes-him-sound-even-worse-n551719&amp;sessionId=7b0a9f5f41ed00e4e9acaf15e29e5fa6e9416dd7&amp;siteScreenName=RedState&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=c8fe9736dd6fb%3A1649830956492&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1515835828924293129\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media Has a New Talking Point to Defend Joe Biden &#8211; but It Makes Him Sound Even Worse While sometimes you get a little truth from the liberal media, such as when CNN polling guy Harry Enten said how \u201creally, really, really bad\u201d the polling numbers for Joe Biden were \u2014 indeed, the worst ever &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/?p=80132\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-goobermint"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=80132"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80132\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80134,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80132\/revisions\/80134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=80132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=80132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesfortis.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=80132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
