(PJ Media) Gas prices have gone through the roof and are promising to get worse. The President of the United States, deeply beholden to the green Left, steadfastly refuses to reverse the extensive damage he has done to the domestic oil industry, and instead goes hat in hand to Saudi Arabia to plead with the leaders of the state he once called a “pariah” to lower oil prices. They refuse. The president’s administration has mounted disquieting initiatives to restrict the freedom of speech and brand law-abiding Americans as terrorists while sending billions to Ukraine in the teeth of the economic suffering of the folks at home. After the president and his team catastrophically botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan, America is substantially weakened on the world stage, and her enemies are emboldened.
In the midst of all this and more, the first lady of the United States has a message of hope and encouragement for embattled Americans: pity poor Joe.
That’s right — we err by giving the putative president a 33% approval rating (which is surprising only in raising the question of how a third of the population could actually still support this abysmally failed president). Jill Biden — sorry, that’s Doctor Jill Biden to us plebeians — on Saturday asserted that instead, we should look upon her corrupt, dishonest kleptocrat of a husband as a tragic figure. He is a man who came into the White House full of New-Frontier idealism, ready to “transform” this nation as he had promised to do. But sadly, he was confronted with problems that no one, no one at all anywhere in this green and pleasant land, could possibly ever have anticipated. And now our rosy-cheeked idealist’s plans lie in ruins, his starry-eyed hopes dashed, the beautiful future he worked so tirelessly to guarantee for all of us now beset by dark clouds, none of which is his doing. Ah, it brings a tear to the eye. Poor Joe!
According to CNN, ol’ Doc Jill articulated her “frustration about the stalled progress of President Joe Biden’s tenure in the White House during a private Democratic National Committee fundraiser” in Nantucket. She claimed that Old Joe “has been consistently challenged by unanticipated crises while in office.” Joe, says his better and more sentient half, “had so many hopes and plans for things he wanted to do, but every time you turned around, he had to address the problems of the moment.” You know, like “Putin’s price hike” and all the rest of Joe’s malarkey.
