Juan Williams: Biden gets no respect
by Juan Williams, opinion contributor - 05/02/22 6:00 AM ET
The legendary standup comedian Rodney Dangerfield famously complained that he got “no respect.”
After 15 months as president delivering the most successful domestic agenda since Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society, President Biden is entitled to make the same complaint.
Biden gets no respect even though he has a record of success and Republicans in Congress don’t have any legislative agenda. They are content to stoke culture wars and bash Biden.
But Biden’s poll numbers are in the dumps despite the weakness of the opposition.
He is swimming against big tides of voter discontent rooted in nationwide frustration from living with a pandemic for two years.
Then there is unhappiness with inflation, anxiety over rising violent crime, and upset within his own party about the failure to stop Republicans from suppressing the minority vote.
That is a lot of discontent.
And it all collects around one man: Biden.
