Joe Biden, you’re no FDR or LBJ

Axios reports that President Biden has been consulting with historians in his quest to figure out who he is — and that, right on cue, those historians have suggested that Biden is a Great Man who has been sent to completely overhaul the United States.

Among the ideas with which the president’s consultants apparently agreed are that now is the time for Biden to “jam through once-in-a-lifetime historic changes to America,” that he must “go even bigger and faster than anyone expected,” and that it would be a good idea for him to “jam through what could amount to a $5 trillion overhaul of America, and vast changes to voting, immigration and inequality.”

Evidently, the Biden years are set to involve a lot of “jamming.”

Let us mince no words: This advice is deranged. FDR and LBJ, to whom the historians apparently have compared Biden, were both swept into office in landslide victories, alongside large congressional majorities — often large supermajorities — that were on board with their agenda. Joe Biden, by contrast, won the Electoral College by 45,000 votes, enjoys no majority in the Senate, and has a House majority so thin that the Democratic Party is trying to steal a House seat in Iowa that has already been certified for the GOP.

As Lloyd Bentsen might have said: I’ve read about FDR, and Joe Biden, you are no FDR.

Does Joe Biden know this?

"Does Joe Biden know this?"

The only thing Biden knows is when it's time to change his Depends and get the bib on for his oatmeal.

"Joe Biden, you’re no FDR or LBJ"

"William Henry Harrison the second" is more like it...

I think when they say the Usurper isn't FDR they're simply admitting that he hasn't had enough time on his stolen throne to do as much damage as FDR did.   But he's got another 45 months, supposedly.
