Biden Claims That He's Greatly Overperformed Expectations, and The Media Actually Bothers Asking the Public: Do You Agree?

Via Ed Morrissey at Hot Air.

This was just an absolutely bizarre claim from Biden, during an evening of bizarre claims.

I know Trump really innovated and disrupted in the field of puffery -- "People are always telling me, you've done a really great job on trade, they can't believe what a great job we're doing" -- but at least those claims had some basis in reality. They were a bit exaggerated, maybe, and they put Trump's own self-assessments into the mouths of others, but they were located somewhere in the same plane of existence that most of us find our energies vibrating in most of the time.

But Biden claiming that he's outperformed all expections?

What?

What is happening?


If you can't see that, the key quote is:

Biden: "Look, I didn't overpromise, and I have probably outperformed what anybody thought would happen."

I like the "probably" inserted there. For modesty's sake.

The New York Times reports on a focus group panel with Luntz's Dunces -- I guess the NYT has accepted that Luntz is a left-liberal just like them, now, and can be trusted. This is pure happenstance that this article is written today; it's not conducted to coincide with Biden's speech.

And it's Ed Morrissey's catch to connect it with Biden's "overperformed" line. I have to give that to him. He's almost completely worthless, but this does connect up.

Here's how this group of 14 independents, who are not fans of Trump nor Biden, feels about Biden's performance:


Frank Luntz: Raise your hands if you agree with that statement, that this is the lowest point in your lifetime.

[Six of 14 raise their hands.]

Alice (60, Latina, New York, supervisor for homeless services): I think they've taken us back to cave man time, where you would walk around with a club. "I want what you have." You're not even safe to walk around and go to the train station, because somebody might throw you off the train, OK? It's a regression.

...

Dickie (38, white, Texas, financial analyst): When Alice was talking about the cave man thing, I can agree with that. I've had my bike stolen here in Austin, in a very gentrified neighborhood, four different times in the last seven, eight months. Things are kind of chaotic. I feel like there's no rules, really.

...

Patrick Healy: We're going to turn now to President Biden and want to talk about his first year in office. Can I get a word or phrase that describes President Biden?

Scott: Just calmness.

Kristine: Out of touch.

Tenae: Incoherent.

Jim: Reasonable.

Don: Functional adult.

Julia: Pathetic.

Mark: Clueless.

Nick: Detached.

Travis: Puppet.

Jules: Complete disaster.

Azariah: Spaced out.

Frank Luntz: Has Biden exceeded your expectations or fallen short? And explain why.

Jim: I think Biden is trying his very best. In these times, it's just really hard to lead, and you know, he's a nice guy, and sometimes you don't need a nice guy being president. You just need someone tough.

Kristine: I didn't think he would ruin anything, but I didn't think he would improve anything, really. It would just kind of be status quo. But instead, he's incoherent without a teleprompter. I have questions about his mental health. And you know, my dad had dementia, so I'm concerned about that.

Frank Luntz: Does anyone here think that he's exceeded your expectations?

[No one raises a hand.]

Well. So much for "probably outperformed everyone's expectations."

Little more:


...

Patrick Healy: How many of you would like to see Biden run again in 2024? Show of hands.

[Nobody raises a hand.]

...

Patrick Healy: Can I hear from someone who voted for Biden in 2020 who does not want him to run again, why that is?

Alice: He's too old.

And just a little more: Regarding the most pressing issue on most Americans' minds:

Patrick Healy: A show of hands -- are you confident that President Biden and the Democrats have a plan to improve the economy, to deal with inflation?

[Nobody raises a hand.]


Serendipitously, NBC just released a poll today, which also asked, specifically, if Biden has met, underperformed, or overperformed respondents' expectations.

The percentage of people saying the Sage of Scranton has exceeded their expectations? Five f***ing percent.


Screenshot (1303).png

You'd have to roll a natural 20 to hit someone who actually agrees that Brandon has overperformed in office.

Bonus:

Here's a little more of that focus group.

Frank Luntz: Tell me the best thing about Joe Biden. What has he brought to Washington in the last year?

...

Kristine: Corn Pop story was funny.

Frank Luntz: Let's look towards the future. Could it be that it was just his first year and the second year will get better?

Mark: You can't really do much worse.

Nick: I would say, another year of the same -- stagnation. He had eight years as a vice president, and I figured he would have had experience and would have been able to lead and unite the country more than he has. And I don't see that happening.

I would say that Brandon has equaled my expectations.

Question for NeverTrump:

Obviously, Brandon has not met your expectations.

Given that your job is supposed to be analysis, and you failed abysmally in your analysis of Biden as a "centrist moderate" with "honor and integrity" who would "restore our norms" and "heal our country," and you also claim to be highly honorable people yourselves-- when will you be admitting, accounting for, and apologizing for your own gross errors?

You know, like you always demand that your bete noir Trump do?

And when will you be resigning from the offices which you are so manifestly unfit to hold?

I think most, maybe all, hand sanitizers are anti-bacterial. Not going to help much with a virus. I have an FDA web page open in another tab and there is this quote on it: "There are no antiseptic drug products, including hand sanitizer, that are approved by FDA to prevent or treat COVID-19.". Again, all of this was nothing but theater.

I never thought (a) he would be so visible and senile. I thought he would be hidden in the basement drooling. 1hr 50 minutes of standing is impressive.

He is doing outstanding job of making the horrible policies look bad because he looks bad.

...As part of the new mission to increase the "sense of belonging for 10 million people around the world by 2025," Mars said the M&M's characters - who serve as mascots of sorts for the brand - would be receiving fresh, new looks.

...A description for the green candy on the M&M's website says she enjoys "being a hypewoman for my friends."

218 In college a friend of mine had a beat up pickup truck. And this girl I knew bought a futon and needed help moving it. So I was like OK I'll use the pick up truck, help her move and maybe she'll reward me. I knew there was a slim chance of that happening and I was just simping (back before that word existed). But I figured, even if I don't get anything from her, I will make it known that I'm a "good guy" by helping her out and her friends (who I also wanted to fuck) would get word.

Nothing happened between us. But I think it was still a good investment of time long term. Built up my social score as it were.

For me this was a 1 time calculated deal. Where guys fuck up is helping them move couches and futons and beds over and over and over. In which case you're not a nice guy, you're a chump.

Emo (to his girlfriend) - "When we first met, how much love did you have for me?"
Emo's girlfriend - "Zero."
Emo - "And how much do you have for me now?"
Emo's girlfriend - "A billion times that."

261 ...As part of the new mission to increase the "sense of belonging for 10 million people around the world by 2025," Mars said the M&M's characters - who serve as mascots of sorts for the brand - would be receiving fresh, new looks. ...

Oooookay. Just a moment's thought on this. The 10 million people they're going after is a damn sight smaller than their current customer base. So are they going to pursue those 10 million new customers - the target of their "belonging" campaign - in a way that is, at worst, neutral for their existing customers?

I doubt that very much. This pursuit will alienate some number of their existing customers. If it alienates more than 10 million of them, then this will be a net loser. Going after niche markets is valuable strategy for small, new or niche products. Mars is not a company that deals in small, new or niche products. Like Proctor and Gamble, they operate at scale. And large-scale operations don't mesh well with niche-scale targeting, especially when they decide to be rude and dismissive of the customers they already have...

277 If somebody, ANYBODY, named Brandon actually ran for president in 2024, they would probably win. Because this country is full to the brim with imbecilic livestock fit for little more than grazing and pulling farm implements.


Speaking of many of our countrymen being little better than livestock I remember reading the Lewis and Clark journals and an incident where one of the hunters spotted some bison grazing. The hunter shot one and it dropped dead on the ground. The other bison grazing next to it looked over for a second and promptly resumed their grazing, totally unfazed. Cattle, nothing but cattle, and I have long thought of that example as exemplifying many if not most of my countrymen
(more accurately described as people who just happen to live here).

I've mentioned this before but back in the dog eaters administration my daughter had to coordinate a visit between Biden and the authorities in the country she was posted in at the time. She was s fairly junior officer but said Biden's staff was completely professional and polite to her throughout the entire planning and visiting stages. Her observation, and I tend to agree with her, is that attitude comes from the top and percolates down. He has undoubtedly been an ass to political enemies, but he seems to have had a different reputation with the people that had to work with or under him.

348 We keep telling ace that a diet of white castles (it's those steamed onions) and corned beef and cabbage is not healthy- or a way to get any sort of girl you would want.

But it fumigates the house really well.

But there is still a palpable dislike, almost equal, for Trump. I figured treat may be ephemeral, especially once they got a taste of Brandon's destruction. It's not abating.

Its cultural for a subset of people, a smallish one (Remember, even by the hilariously false count we got in 2020, Trump got over 70 million votes, more than any presidential candidate in history before him). But for them, its as certain as white people can't jump or dance. Its like those racist and sexist things people grew up Just Knowing Were True and can't shake.

363 Interesting survey. I read the archive.is linked article from the NYT, and one thing that it says is that all the people that Frank Luntz interviewed were people that both voted for Obama at least once *and* voted for Trump at least once.

From Jim's response, for instance, I can't see him voting for Trump at all. Trump was known as a lot of things, but the 'You're Fired!' guy was never known as a nice guy.

Something's fishy about this focus group.

364 I have a unique solution to solve America/NATO's Ukraine/Putin problem. America withdraws from NATO and lets Russia take our place. America tells the citizens and government employees in Europe that this is coming in 3 weeks and no travel assistance will be provided. America withdraws our troops and equipment. Russia drops the demand that the Ukraine can't join NATO and then assists them to join. America no longer needs to fund and defend European countries that don't want to shoulder their end of the deal. The new military leadership of NATO will insist that western Europe's plan to not have any defense spending is perfectly ok with them. I don't see any losers, at least none that I care about, with this simple solution.

She was s fairly junior officer but said Biden's staff was completely professional and polite to her throughout the entire planning and visiting stages. Her observation, and I tend to agree with her, is that attitude comes from the top and percolates down. He has undoubtedly been an ass to political enemies, but he seems to have had a different reputation with the people that had to work with or under him.
Posted by: moon_over_vermont at January 20, 2022 02:55 PM (CoMmC)


I can believe this. Because to these type of people, politics is all theater. They read their lines, and take nasty cheap shots at each other, and then leave and have a beer together. The problem for Biden is he's been in it so long, he thinks those nasty cheap shots are still acceptable when he's dealing with someone who's not one of the paid actors ("Look Fat...").
So yes, the script calls for treating the soldiers and diplomats well, and so a guy like Biden does that.

Wifey has really gotten into herbal medicine and home remedies as we've been prepping for the past couple years.

She now uses a nebulizer with hydrogen peroxide and saline solution -- occasionally with iodine (I think maybe betadine?) and swears by it.

419 Regarding Trump's economy and his braggadocio, there's an old Muhammad Ali quote that people have thrown around for years.

"It ain't bragging if you can do it."

Comparing Trump to Biden is like comparing a really nice house to that same really nice house when it's currently on f****** fire.

I'll take Trump's boasting any day over Obama's shitty 8 year tenure while the media put halos over his f****** head.

Yep. Biden's lied throughout his career about his accomplishments, class standing, family connections, and even how his wife was killed  He tried to assassinate Justice Thomas's character.

This is in complete opposition to their UK website, which seemed to actually promote candy. That could have changed, but I'm not too interested to give them any clicks just to find out.

Luckily I'm not much of a candy person, the only time I buy is for Halloween. And now the kids will get Baby Ruth and Butterfingers instead of that other crap.

504 Every day is Groundhog day for Biden. Jill and the rest of his handlers remind him he is president, and tell him what he needs to say. They aren't giving him any bad news, so as far as FJB knows, every day is Morning in America again, instead of the day after the earthquake, tornado, hurricane, and fire.

I had it up on the wall for about 8 years before I had to move to the other end of the building and decided to throw it away. It looked exactly like it did 8 years before. However, it was hard as a rock and had some weird chemistry stuff going on inside of it that may have been the beginnings of a new lifeform that will someday take over the world and hunt us all down to be their pets.

When I went to create an xbox gamer tag for the 360, I was trying to think of a good roman name I could combine with a date to make it unique (and not already taken.) Then I remembered the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields.

590 When I was 5 I stole everyone's favorite toy, a sock monkey, from my grandmother's house. I had to give it back. She made another one just for me. It survived my childhood and my children's . After they grew up I used it when watching sportsball. Every time a referee made a stupid call it got thrown at the TV. Finally did it in.

And maybe this combo kind of setup makes this covid vulnerable to anti-bacterial compounds.

If you have not read that letter exposed by Project Veritas I recommend that you do. It explains a lot of the background thinking at the time and how they made it and that they knew there were a couple known drugs that would work against it if started early. IVM and HCQ

644 I have noticed the media shift in the last few weeks. Asking legit questions, sounding horrified at non-citizen elections, questioning the kung flu pandemic protocols, and finally questioning Biden's competence.

This shift to reasonable, common sense, and even some actual journalism, is a ruse.

They want to be seen as trustworthy, as reliable. They want to shed some of that bias that they normally display so that maybe you will think they have come around, and that we can count on them, that we can start believing them again.

And they will continue this, right up to the point where they start to tell you who you need to vote for in the next election. It will not be obvious, but they will tell you who to vote for.. After all, you can trust them again.
