Is Biden a Weak President?

[craig]

Exactly, no invasion needed.

And NATO would have been ineffective as Putin and Trump had planed.

Here is some recent news, just in case you havent heard:

Biden Snubbed by Arab Leaders in Bid to Control Gas Prices, Report Says

Saudi Arabia and the UAE both said they will not produce more oil than agreed upon with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

Biden snubbed by UAE and Saudi leaders over his calls to discuss oil exports.

AFAIK, no POTUS has ever been snubbed by these leaders before.

So based on all of this, what do you think?

No.

Crooked donnietrump is merely the weak mans idea of a strong man.

He is not a strong man.

Prefer Biden to a dictator if those are the choices, it's called country over party.

I think Biden has showed weakness in that once elected he has abandoned his lifelong moderate Democratic ideals and has pushed the far left, progressive agenda which in the past he wouldn’t have agreed with.

LOL. Joe Biden is a radical revolutionary. BWAHAHAHAHA.
Infrastructure spending proves it.

 

[noonereal]

I have a different take. I think Biden has showed weakness in that once elected he has abandoned his lifelong moderate Democratic ideals and has pushed the far left, progressive agenda which in the past he wouldn’t have agreed with. Old age, maybe? In this way, weak in that he has let the left wing of the Democratic Party lead him by the nose instead of standing up for his own moderate democratic ideals. This Biden wasn’t the one most independent’s thought they were getting when they voted for him 54-41 over Trump. Not that independents would have voted for Trump anyway. They disliked him too much.

As for the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. I think Biden has done all he can do short of getting us involved militarily and into a possible nuclear war. He gets high marks from me on the Ukraine. As for Putin not invading the Ukraine if Trump was president, that’s impossible to prove either in a positive or negative since it didn’t happen. A what if question that has no bearing on the situation today or whether Biden is a strong or weak leader.

Personally, I’m much more comfortable with Biden handling the Ukrainian War than I would be with Trump. Matter of fact, Trump was the first president in my lifetime I was never comfortable with him being president. I was born right after WWII, so that includes a lot of presidents. Although I do place most of the blame in the rise of gas prices on Biden and company for him kowtowing to the green portion of the democratic party. Biden isn’t perfect, far from it, a disappointment in certain aspects. But someone I’m glad to see as president today instead of Trump. I can live with the disappointments if that means the absents of Trump from the Oval Office.

Only someone who is not paying attention and is corrupted by Fox could possibly think Joe is not tough as nails.

By lifelong "Democratic ideals" you mean when he voted for the 1994 Crime bill and the Iraq War? And now that he's so progressive he's starving the people of Afghanistan?

 

[Atomic Kid]

You may have been uncomfortable with Trump, but he was one of 4 U.S. Presidents since WW2, to avoid any new military conflicts in his 4 years in office.
It may be the same thing that made you uncomfortable, made animals like Putin feel the same way.
People like Putin are predators that observe other leaders, and look for weakness. He saw Trump draw a red line with Syria, and bomb them when it was crossed. He saw him wipe out the caliphate, kill Bagdadi, kill Solemani and was the first US President to drop a MOAB. The fact that Putin didn’t invade anyplace while Trump was President isn’t a coincidence.

Trump set the stage for the chaos that is happening now. Putin having been a recruiter for the KGB saw all the earmarks of a person that could be turned in Trump. He knows a useful idiot when he sees one. Trump didn't do a damn thing to the Russians in Syria. He stood silent as Russian planes bombed hospitals, schools, and civilian apartment buildings in Syrian cities like Aleppo killing thousands of civilians, including women and children, as they are doing in Ukraine now. The attack on the Syrian airfield from where many of these Russian planes were operating from was given more than ample notice to move their planes and personnel before the attack and attack itself was wholly ineffective. A joke really as the airfield was fully operational again within a matter of mere hours and more attacks by Russian planes on Syrian cities were launched from it at dawn the very next morning. Dropping that MOAB on a big pile of rocks didn't do much of anything to deter the Taliban in Afghanistan either, did it? And you're right Putin not invading Ukraine while Trump was President was probably not coincidence. With Trump acting essentially acting as an agent of Russia he probably thought he wouldn't have to in order to get what he wanted. But perhaps in hindsight Putin not invading when Trump was President was a big mistake. There's no way that NATO and the West would be presenting such a united front against Russia's lawless aggression in Ukraine as we are seeing now all across the world with Trump in office. You should be giving thanks to God that Biden is President now as you wouldn't want to even begin to imagine how much worse things would be now if Trump were President.

 

[NoMoreDems-Reps]

Biden is either stupid or is in Putin's pocket! Everything that Biden did up to today, and is planning to do soon,
should have been planned and ready to execute once Russia crossed Ukraine's border! And he should have had
thousands of Javelins, and STA Missiles in the hands of the Ukraine Army once Russia started this war.
But Biden et al. is(are) performing as he did when he did his Afghanistan Pull out!.....

 

[Jason Warfield]

For me, I don't think Biden is weak...he got a crappy deal coming in after Trump..having said that...

One thing that is certain during Trump's presidency, when someone on this forum took cracks at him, when pressed, could usually give a reasonable answer if pressed on what they thought Trump should've done or not done as the case may be. Not always, but more often than not.

As folks are giving Biden hard time handling the hard things happening right now, I see a lot of rude and snarky remarks but when pressed to what they think should be done...we don't get much other than bluster, more snarly remarks and the simplistic, "Trump would've done better." or "Biden is a socialist...you are dismissed."

It's like listening to that kid who craps on everything and when you finally say, "OK, what's YOUR solution?" they get all huffy and then crap on the question you just asked them before stomping away in self-righteous indignation that they even have to answer the question...

 

[GummyVitamins]

I voted yes. He's definitely on the weak side as far as Head of States go. But, as someone with libertarian views, I don't necessarily mind a President being on the soft side. Any President who isn't shy about only working 9-5 and taking weekends off is going to be considered weak. He doesn't have a lot of stamina which hurts him in this department.

 

[wist43]

Biden doesn't make any decisions, he is just a figurehead - and an abysmal one at that.

Trump's biggest problem, other than his constant social media nonsense, was that he was surrounded by Establishment traitors - like John Bolton and James Comey. Reagan was similarly misdirected.

Obama and Bush were both Establishment traitors.

The only other President since 1932, post-Hoover, that wasn't either a puppet or a traitor, was Kennedy.

 

[VySky]

I’m surprised such a redundant question was put to a poll.

The question is can Biden still tie his shoes and get woody’s for little girls. He’s sick.

 

[Top Cat]

This is amazing. If Trump were president, he'd be sucking Putin's dick again. He probably send in troops to help Putin He probably send in troops to help Putin

 

[Gatsby]

Biden is doing a good job handling the Russia-Ukraine crisis so far. He has a difficult job threading the needle between warmongers like Adam Kinzinger and pro-Putin appeasers like Tulsi Gabbard. I am very glad that Biden is president right now, especially considering who the alternative was.

Overall, I think Biden has been a good president. A 79-year-old with very slim congressional majorities was never going to have a lot of legislative accomplishments, but that's OK. Biden has generally done a good job moving the ball forward on things where he can.

At this point, my biggest gripe with Biden has been his failure to staff the State Department properly and get government agencies back to work post-COVID. This has resulted in a continuation of Trump-era levels of anemic immigration. This is an area where Biden could have and should have done better.

It’s pretty awesome watching the party of “End the forever wars” chomping at the bit for the US to get in a shooting war with the most nuclear-armed country on earth.

Who is calling for a shooting war with Russia? The only politicians with any power who I've heard advocate policies that would lead to that are Republicans like Adam Kinzinger and Lindsey Graham.

Joe Manchin did say we shouldn't take a no-fly zone off the table, which was dumb and I didn't like it. But Manchin's view is hardly a majority view in the Democratic caucus.

I’m consistently hearing conservatives calling for direct intervention or for solutions that can only result in direct intervention, the no fly zone being the most popular one, of course. Some other Republican Congressman called for that as well.

And there is the “just do something!” type of narrative from the right, which when taken in consideration with what we are already doing, basically leaves a shooting war. And the fact is that if you call Biden “weak,” you’re not leaving a lot on the table that isn’t…once again…a shooting war.

 

[jpevans]

I’d prefer a strong man as long as he’s not an idiot like Trump. Trump was all bark anyway. The Biden/Harris combo is as week as it gets.

7 days. that's as week as it get this side of the Beatles.

 

[RAMOSS]

Biden campaigned against the use of all fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and for a “surge” in immigration. To assert otherwise (implying that he changed post election) is simply BS - assuming that the MSM calling him a “moderate” made that become true is ignoring reality.

Going to get rid of all fossil fuel is a good goal, but it's one that technically, we will need a few decades to accomplish. The seeds of the technical evolution are being planted now, the advances in batteries, the advances in green energy, the advances in fuel cells, and with a fair deal of luck, the advances in fusion energy. Many of those advances have nothing to do with any politician.

 

[jpevans]

Yes Biden is a weak president. Laughed at across the world.

You guys crack me up. Y'all loved a babbling idjit, because he was a bully who lead an Insurrection from his couch (I be with you) who bullied the infirm, Gold Star Parents, etc. You've confused punching down with strength, yet he had his love connection with bigger Bullies. Pooten didn't attack Ukraine while puppet Drumpf was in office & actually worked toward getting him elected again, because he knew that he would pull out of NATO in his 2nd term.
Uncle Joe is a quiet talker who has a grip on what needs to be done, sometimes a little too centrist for my taste, but you can count on that he won't lie about a dangerous situation to protect Americans from the truth, like the Drumpf did around COVID. Will not share Classified material with an adversary. I don't need a belligerent but useful Idjit Bully who's out for himself guiding the ship of state, Give me a quiet talker who carries a big stick & cares about the country.

 

[jpevans]

You need somebody competent in office.

Be perfectly honest just for one moment. If you had a magic wand, and you could replace Biden/Harris right now, right this instant in this time of global crises with anyone else from this list (living or dead), tell me you wouldn't do it? Even if it was one of the Republicans listed. Because I (a conservative) can say that I would rather see Obama or Clinton in office right now over Biden/Harris, and that is how scary this moment is.

Barrack Obama
Bill Clinton
Joe Lieberman
Jimmy Carter
Micheal Bloomberg
John McCain
Mitt Romney
George H.W. Bush
Richard Nixon
JFK
IKE

Admit it. Biden is a failure, he is worse that JV squad level ability.

Looks, like you've got a good topic for a poll. You should add Biden to it, though. & Bernie...

Exactly, but trying to reduce US fossil fuel production before demand for it is reduced is not a great plan.

The claim about 'reducing the fossil fuel introductory is false.
