Some of my friends think Biden has been a punching bag for conservatives, while others can't believe how much Biden gets away with. Since both can't be true, which is it? Biden may be the least transparent president in history, although he claims the contrary. Biden has done just 22 media interviews, fewer than any of his six most recent White House predecessors at this point in their presidencies. Why? By avoiding answering revealing questions, could he be seeking to make it all go away?
There are two primary reasons Biden does not meet with the public more often. And when he does, he frequently does not speak the truth.
- Biden is low energy, finding it difficult to prepare and deliver speeches, and frequently makes gaffes that are misread by friend and foe alike.
- Biden has known skeletons in his closet and has not fought back well against allegations.
This partial list of challenges to the President's transparency reveals his attempts to explain not just mistakes but displays terrible judgment:
President Biden continues to be a mystery in many ways. He was elected solely because he was not Trump. Former President Trump was demonized, yet he made many great decisions during his presidency and indeed would have been elected for another term except for COVID.
Biden is a president that has been wrong on so many issues that it became a joke many years ago. How has this man who did not come from money, had no wealthy wife, and has never worked outside of government, become wealthy? His extended family, of similar beginnings, also have become rich. Was that due to the "Big Man's" connections?
These questions and observations should interest inquiring minds. Gaps in times, financial transactions, and even the quality of past decision-making seem to be off-limits to what's left of investigative reporting.
