Mugged By Reality

 Poor Jill Biden (excuse me, Doctor Jill Biden).  She was talking at a fundraiser this weekend and lamented that her husband had big hopes when he took the presidency but has been beset by one crisis after another.

Jill Biden spent the weekend in Massachusetts raising money for the DNC and speaking to the American Federation of Teachers national convention. In Nantucket on Saturday, she spoke at a DNC fundraiser and painted her husband as a man who dreams big but was mugged by reality when he came into office as president. Yes, really. Jill Biden wants Democrats to think that her husband, a career politician with almost 50 years of experience in elected office, can’t get his “hopes” accomplished because of “the problems of the moment.”

Yeah, reality has a way of doing that.   Forgive me if I don't have any sympathy for Joe Biden.  After 50 years in elected office, both as a senator and as a vice president, he should have known what he was getting into.  He asked for the job.  And he has proven that he is totally unfit for it.

It would have been better for Joe if he had gone into a well-deserved retirement following his vice presidency.  We might have remembered him as an affable, gaffe-prone politician.  Now we will remember him as a failed president who presided over a terrible time in America, fueled mostly by his own bad decisions.   Let's not forget that his family seems to be awash in political corruption and influence peddling.  I won't waste any tears over Joe.
