He’s No FDR
Biden’s dreams of presidential greatness put the lie to his pose as a modest moderate.

Some very ugly numbers for Democrats are, like our current inflation problems, probably not “transitory.” Given that President Joe Biden, as muddled as his thoughts are, must know the numbers, why does he persist in pushing his “transformational” agenda when Americans elected him to be a back-to-normal moderate?
Biden’s approval numbers continue to crater, as reported by USA Today: “A year before the 2022 midterm elections, Republicans hold a clear lead on the congressional ballot as President Joe Biden’s approval rating sinks to a new low of 38%. A USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll, taken Wednesday through Friday, found that Biden’s support cratered among the independent voters who delivered his margin of victory over President Donald Trump one year ago.”
Joe Biden wants a legacy. A legacy bigger than Obama’s. Bigger than Bill Clinton’s. Even bigger than LBJ’s.
The Biden team, the president himself, Prime Minister Ron Klain – they all know this. So why are they still going down this radical road? They may hold out hope of being rewarded by voters once Democrats pass their latest monstrosities so that we can find out what’s in them. After all, Obamacare was unpopular until it eventually was popular-ish, and Barack Obama was reelected when the GOP nominated a weak opponent.
But I suspect that what is really going on was laid bare by this Axios story from March: “Inside Biden’s private chat with historians” about his FDR mentality.
