“When people you don’t even know hate you, that’s when you know you’re the best.” Paris Hilton

There are all kinds of videos of Joe messing up, mostly because Joe messes up a lot.
And people notice.
In his book, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary of War, Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said, “I think he (Joe) has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”
Before Joe ran for president in 2020, Obama told a fellow Democrat, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up.”
But to this I say, “Picky, picky, picky.”
None of Joe’s critics ever mention his best quality: He’s consistent. It’s a virtue he shares with his boss, Barack Obama.
Back in 2009, Joe announced that Fisker Automotive was going to develop electric and hybrid cars in the closed GM plant in Wilmington, with $528 million dollars in funding from the Department of Energy.
“Imagine an America that has freed itself from the grip of the oligarchs of oil by plugging their cars into a new electric grid of renewable energy based on wind and solar and geothermal,” Joe crowed.
“Imagine a world where people pop the hood of their cars and they see stamped on the battery, ‘Made in America.’’
Imagine. But in 2013 Fisker went bankrupt without producing a single car.
Obama’s Department of Energy funded thirty-three Green-Themed-Businesses, including Solyndra, a manufacturer of solar panels, with $528 million dollars.
Solyndra went bankrupt in 2011. Most of the others did, too.
This was Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
And don’t forget Obama’s Cash for Clunkers. The administration spent $3 billion dollars on the stimulus program without any positive results.
And it hasn’t gotten much better Going-Green with Joe.
During a two-year period, only seven charging stations have been created at the cost of $7.5 billion dollars.
People don’t want to buy these cars, anyway, but Joe’s Secretary of Transportation thinks they do.
“Let’s be clear that the automotive sector is moving toward EVs, and we can’t pretend otherwise,” Buttigieg told Fox’s Sandra Smith
You’d think Joe would know what he’s doing by now. He’s been in politics for nearly half a century.
You’d think he’d know, but he doesn’t. He only knows how to feather his own nest.
This past week Joe and Obama were joined by Bill Clinton to do what they do best: Getting lotsa’ money.
While Police Officer Jonathan Diller’s wake was taking place an hour away in Massapequa, the Three Amigos yucked it up at Radio City with Steven Cobert, playing to the crowd they like best: Rich, old New Yorkers.
The Liberal Limousine Crowd.
Should these three leaders feel ashamed that none of them went to the wake?
Doubtlessly. But their donors were okay with that, although Trump-hater Bill Kristol was not.
“An unfortunate day politically for the Democrats,” Kristol X-Tweeted, about the unfortunate optics.
“Biden does a fancy NYC fundraiser in the midst of chaotic left-wing protests—looks like limousine liberalism plus the breakdown of law and order. And Trump attends the wake of a slain NYPD police officer on Long Island.”
Former Obama adviser, David Axelrod agreed, but said, “In the big scheme of things, the $25 million will probably mean more than the look.”
It’s the way Democrats approach things.
Take Democrat strategist James Carville. He used a CIA assassination term as a suggested campaign strategy for The Big Guy, during an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
“Wetwork.” Carville said Joe should let surrogates do the “wetwork” against President Trump.
“Sounds like a mob hit,” Cooper observed.
“Yes,” Carville agreed, backtracking a little, but adding, “It’s a CIA term to take a guy out,” and added that he was using the term for “spilling blood during murder,”
I'm confused. Isn’t that what Hillary would call a Dog Whistle? Arf, arf.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
