The Biden Presidency 2022

I just saw this stat. Concerning Biden hiding.

Number of Informal Q+A's given to the Press. (that's where a president answers a few random questions after any appearance. I knew Biden has been doing a lot of them.

1st year of presidency.

Bush 144 Q&A's
Obama 46
Trump 120
Biden 216.

I don't know what the total number of questions is though. But even in a normal Press conference a President still chooses which reporters to ask questions and more importantly which reporters get more questions than others. So, it's hardly hiding. Pretty much a false charge.

I think it just seems that way because of the ratings, honestly. In the case of Trump, the people who loved him watched him a lot and the people who hated him watched him a lot...and most people were one way or another way.

In the case of Biden, I can't imagine many people love him, so probably only the people that don't care for him paying very much attention to his informal pressers at all and probably not as much as those who hated Trump did...as they likely hate Biden less than the Trump haters hated Trump.

That's one thing I'll give Biden and how I like my Presidents---boring, for the most part.

I don't pay any attention to Biden
Don't need too

Trump's term was very interesting, unlike Biden's.

Same.

It’s refreshing to not have to care about what international crisis our POTUS’s early morning tweet is getting us into today.

Could you provide a source for your figures?

Rough December numbers.

Inflation 7%. Highest rate in 40 years.

Producer Prices up 9.7% - Biggest gain on record

Initial jobless claims 30,000 higher than expected.

Retail sales down 2.3%

Industrial Production down

Capacity Utilization Down

Wholesale and Business Inventories increasing - Because they can’t sell the stuff

Wrong thread
Biden not responsible
Should be in the news thread or the virus thread

The virus is giving the country a real kick in the nuts. The more unvaccinated we have, the harder the kick

President Biden has been using MLK Day to raise awareness and push for Voter Rights Reformation:

I think that this is admirable way to recognize MLK's legacy while securing the future of voting.

Whether Hillary comes back depends on other Democratic options.

Is there a TV channel changer remote on your call buzzer. That's the modern way.

Sadly my buzzer remote wasn't working so they gave me a separate wireless remote like you would have at home. I turn over a lot when laying down and with all the wires and three separate IV's my bed becomes a tangled mess. The remote was located on Day 5 when I was allowed to get out of bed.
