betcha he's gonna keep doing this; there's no downside to it, especially as he's not going to be running for anything after this gig

oh look a reality-based person:

Biden has the smallest congressional majority in the history of the United States of America and his people are literally arguing about whether the goal should be "transformational" or merely "transformative" change. https://t.co/h108OKtFc6

really valuable service on digby's part; this is just one of those cases where one should watch at least a few video clips to get your own opinions on the context of his level of confidence and not just rely on text alone!

In reply to A key moment from the POTUS

Note: Biden is not surprised. Never. Yes, he's probably right he could have connected more (so could Obama, but people don't realize that, and COVID has limited outreach). Polls don't really measure how flimsy "opinions"/memes are in a wave of propaganda. Bush had 90% polling support for invading Iraq - that came tumbling down pretty goddamned fast.

Biden got the vaccines going after Bush dithered and pissed in the pool. And the Republicans incl Supreme Court fought his safety measures at every step - still only 2/3 vaxxed :-( We're very lucky Omicron isn't deadlier.

And i thought Joe was too senile to do a Fidel Castro-like press-a-thon? What else will the press bitch about now? (except Doocey - he never ceases to amaze)

A key moment from the POTUS

HUGE NEWS.

President Biden said of BBB: "It’s clear to me that we’re going to have to probably break it up."

He said Democrats need to "get as much as we can now, come back and fight for the rest later."

Peter Doocy of Fox News: Why are you trying to pull the country further to the left?

Pres Biden: "You guys have been trying to convince me that I am Bernie Sanders. I'm not. I like him. But I'm not Bernie Sanders. I'm not a socialist. I'm a mainstream Democrat and I have been."

.@fran_chambers: How do you plan to win back moderates and independents who voted for you but who polls indicate aren't happy with the way you're doing the job now?

President Biden: "I don't believe the polls."
— Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) January 19, 2022

Quite a statement from President Biden: "I don't believe the polls."

Biden on Afghanistan: "There is no way to get out of Afghanistan after 20 years easily. Not possible no matter when you did it. And I make no apologies for what I did."

Most White House reporters would probably also agree.

He was President Obama's VP and saw the GOP uniformly oppose Obama's agenda for years. https://t.co/9oD2hocaXY

.@kwelkernbc: What do you say to black voters who say you don't have their backs and see this voting push as last minute PR?

Biden: I've had their backs my entire career. I have never not had their backs. Voting rights is what got me involved in politics in the first place.
— Yamiche Alcindor (@Yamiche) January 19, 2022

Quite a moment as Biden talks about black voters being concerned he doesn't have their backs.

He said: I haven't been out in the community enough and I haven't been connecting with people and letting them take a "measure of my sincerity." This is a problem of "my own making."

.@ZekeJMiller: Did you overpromise coming into office and how do you plan to course correct?

President Biden: "I didn't overpromise" And, I outperformed what people thought would happen. We have made "enormous progress." It's getting better.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Biden says he believes Putin doesn’t want full-blown war with Ukraine and would pay 'dear price' for it.
