Ron Klain, the man executing Biden’s mission

What? Not Comma-La?

The White House chief of staff has pulled off a successful first 100 days — what’s next?

. . . "The operation that is Biden’s presidency has certainly gone well so far. This week, he celebrated his 100th day in office, having accomplished his two main goals: a swift vaccination rollout against the pandemic, and a $1.9tn stimulus plan to reboot the economy.

" Klain, the White House chief of staff, is among the key architects of that success, cementing his status as one of the most skilled US political managers of his generation. “No one was as well prepared to be White House chief of staff, and up to now I think he’s living up to that,” says Chris Whipple, author of The Gatekeepers, a book about the role. “If the Trump White House was a smoking, backfiring jalopy, then the Biden White House is a finely tuned Rolls-Royce”." . . .

Not everything has gone flawlessly. Klain has had to deal with the botched nomination of Neera Tanden for budget director; the White House’s struggles to address a surge in migration across the southern border and heavy criticism for hesitating to raise the cap on refugees, a key campaign pledge. Republicans have accused the White House of overly aggressive tax-and-spending policies and said the president has not lived up to his vows of bipartisanship. . . .

Speaking of those first 100 days:

"The first 100 days of the Biden administration have been wonderful for the criminal cartels and gang members!"   "Drugs seized: Heroin up 4000%, Fentanyl up 5000% year over year, human trafficking at an all time high. The Biden administration is abandoning immigration laws passed by Congress. What is the "root cause?" Lack of border security!" . . .

New Poll Is Bad For Joe! Only 36% Say Biden’s First 100 Days in Office Were a ‘Success’   "Joe Biden has been in office for just over 100 days and a new poll reveals that just about no one is very happy with his job performance.

"According to Rasmussen Reports, only 36 percent of Americans say Biden’s first 100 days in office were a “success.”

"The report found:  Most voters don’t give him high marks at this milestone of his presidency." . . .
