An ex-Biden aide said Obama staffers thought Biden would 'suck' in the White House

 That might depend on what medication he is placed on; SOTU meds or just walking from the helicopter meds. TD


Business Insider   . . ."President Joe Biden's administration is filled with aides who also served under President Barack Obama, with many staffers who've worked with both Democratic leaders having maintained tight bonds over the years.

"But according to Axios, some of Obama's former staffers were also highly skeptical that Biden would be an effective president.

" 'The Obama people thought Biden would suck as president," an ex-Biden aide told the outlet. "They didn't think he'd be organized enough to execute."

"Axios also reported that some Biden aides have been dismayed that a significant number of ex-Obama staffers were able to secure higher-level positions in the Biden administration over many aides who'd been with the president for a longer period of time.

"However, the relationship between Biden and Obama has remained "respectful," according to Axios.

"During Obama's presidency, much was written about Biden's more freewheeling style on the campaign trail as well as the former Delaware senator's ability to cut legislative deals with lawmakers across ideological stripes.

"Obama, who walked into the Oval Office after serving less than four years in the Senate, leaned on Biden's expertise in Washington as he worked to advance some of the administration's biggest legislative accomplishments — which included the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Affordable Care Act.

"And Obama will return the favor in the coming months, as he'll stump for Biden across the country ahead of what is likely to be a tight reelection contest against former President Donald Trump." . . .

This probably doesn't matter but....  Americans aren't buying Biden's 'devout Catholic' label, poll finds (msn.com)

Since the reign of Biden and his Democrats we now have this:   Supreme Court Declines to Consider Case of Indiana Couple Who Lost Custody of ‘Transgender’ Teen Son for Refusing to Use Female Pronouns (ibloga.blogspot.com)  "Becket Legal, who is representing the Cox family, explained in a press release, “Because of their religious belief that God creates human beings with immutable sex—male or female—they could not refer to him using pronouns and a name inconsistent with his biology. The Coxes also believed that he needed help for underlying mental health concerns, including an eating disorder.” 

The state did not find evidence of abuse — but claimed the couple’s non-acceptance of their son’s gender identity was harmful to the child’s mental health.  
“If this can happen in Indiana, it can happen anywhere. Tearing a child away from loving parents because of their religious beliefs, which are shared by millions of Americans, is an outrage to the law, parental rights, and basic human decency,” said Lori Windham, vice president and senior counsel at Becket. “If the Supreme Court doesn’t take this case, how many times will this happen to other families?” 

. . .   How's all that for "sucking"? TD
