MSNBC Touts 'Biden's Success Story,' Compares Him to REAGAN, Not Jimmy Carter

Was this a Biden commercial? Or just an Axios.com commercial touting Biden?
At the end of Monday's Way Too Early, MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire introduced their regular feature on Axios.com's "1 Big Thing." Axios co-founder Mike Allen (a former New York Times and Washington Post reporter) sounded like a Biden advertisement, gushing over "Biden's Success Story" on the economy and going so far as to compare him to Ronald Reagan at this point in their presidencies, even though Biden looks more like Jimmy Carter.
Allen touted "Biden's winning streak" on legislation, a "rewiring of the economy."
ALLEN: So we just saw the new investments in chip-making in the U.S. Early, big investments in the U.S. capacity to make vaccines, get ready for the next threat. Of course, the infrastructure bill. And the interesting twist to this, Jonathan, is that there is an America-First populist streak to this.That is more oil drilling, here! Making more vaccines, here! With a possible victory coming up, more clean energy, here! And possibly the biggest in history.
Now, asterisk to this, is so far, President Biden doesn't seem to be getting a whole lot of credit for this. He hasn't explained it as well as he could. But when you add it up, it is a remarkable record.
Biden hasn't explained his "success story," so he needs liberal journalists to do it for him.
If this boosterism wasn't gross enough, then came the comparisons to Ronald Reagan. Lemire called it an "unlikely" comparison. That's putting it mildly. But Allen went to work (for the White House "confidant," maybe chief of staff Ron Klain):

The more desperate this administration and the press get, the more absurd their statements are. We were first told by them that inflation didn’t exist, then it was transitory, then it was A good sign for the economy, then it was Putin‘s fault, now I don’t know what the excuse is this week
They’re also all trying to tell us that we’re not really in a recession even though we’ve had 2 quarters back to back of negative GDP
The good news is all of this is nobody’s buying this.

So now they LIKE Reagan?

Biden hasn't defeated the Soviet Union.
Biden hasn't returned the United States to economic stability and growth.
Biden hasn't inspired a generation of fiscally conservative capitalists.
Biden's isn't even a competent fraud.
