Morning Joe Busts Out the Pom-Poms Cheerleading for Biden: ‘He’s Brought The World Together … Someone 45 Years Of Age Couldn’t Do What He Does’
A panel convened on MSNBC’s Morning Joe showered President Joe Biden with enough praise to make Kim Jong Un blush on Tuesday morning.
Mike Barnicle got the ball rolling when he declared that “very few of us and very few in the media really pay enough attention to the weight that this president carries each and every day.”
He continued:
Right now, he is carrying two twin towers of tyranny. One in Donald Trump here domestically, the other Bibi Netanyahu in Israel, who is perhaps the biggest obstacle to a two-state solution that exists today. So the president has that on his plate. He’s got a meeting tomorrow with President Xi [Jinping], Premier Xi in San Francisco. He’s got that on his plate. But he has every hour of every day something that comes across his desk. None of us can comprehend the weight of the presidency every hour of every day. And as he would tell you if you were here today, it’s amazing how every country in the world looks to the United States for help, for solutions, for just almost anything you can think of every single day. You read every newspaper in the country, read every newspaper in the country about President Biden, Within the first two paragraphs, they’ll point out he’s in his eighties. No kidding. He knows how old he is. You couldn’t do it. I couldn’t do it. Someone 45 years of age couldn’t do what he does every day. But he does it.
Host Joe Scarborough jumped in at that point to profess to have “talked to so many diplomats and world leaders over the last two, three years” who “all say that the guy has has a feel, has a grasp for geopolitics, strategies, all the angles, and he gets it.”
“I understand people don’t want to tell the truth on other news channels because it may hurt their ratings if they actually tell the truth about President Biden there. I’m just telling you on foreign policy, talk to the foreign leaders. They will tell you Biden understands in many cases what’s going on in their region better than they understand,” he added.
Not to be outdone, Mika Brzezinski interjected to assert that “he has brought NATO together and he’s brought the world together.”
“They bring up his age. You bring up his age, he’s 80 years old. He makes jokes about his age, and yet he’s working on every level, foreign and domestically,” she argued.
