I have two thoughts about Biden. The first is that he is overwhelmed by a very professional, large, and self serving bureaucracy. They are giving him advice and he is doing what they suggest. On the other hand I might be the opposite. They are giving him great advice and he is ignoring them. The talking heads of tv seem to think the first is what is happening. The FDA, for instance, is a really good example of a bureaucracy with problems.

At the risk of repeating. I believe that Biden is on my side. I wish, however, that he understood that he is president and presidents MUST have responsibility if they are to be believed and apologize when bad things happen whether he is actually responsible or not. In other words, the president is responsible for EVERYTHING that happens on his/her watch. Its not fair but its the way it is. These days Biden does a lot of dancing, often falling in the process, and I just wish he would stop it! What he has been doing is not terrible so much as a bit wrong and a bit offensive and it kinda guts any feeling of my president doing it right. He's gotta start standing up, smelling the roses, occasionally admit to error, and move ahead.

It was my understanding, when he took over, that he would be demonstrating competence. So far ............
