Have you considered *not* sucking at your job, Joe?

The Washington Post had this gem today: "Biden said to be increasingly frustrated by dismal poll numbers"  (Paywall-free hat tip to Real Clear Politics)

After pardoning a pair of turkeys, an annual White House tradition, Biden delivered some stern words for the small group assembled: His poll numbers were unacceptably low and he wanted to know what his team and his campaign were doing about it. He complained that his economic message had done little to move the ball, even as the economy was growing and unemployment was falling, according to people familiar with his comments, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation.

I can totally see Biden doing this: dressing down his staff for his crummy Administration as if he's external to the problem.  His entire Presidency is taking credit for things he didn't do and then blaming bad outcomes on others (e.g. "Putin's price hike!").  

Charles C.W. Cooke thinks Dementia Joe's poll numbers are well-deserved:

I wonder: Has Joe Biden considered not being a terrible president? 

I ask this because Joe Biden’s dire poll numbers are always presented as if they’re a mystery. Look at the Post‘s language: “frustrated,” “unacceptably low,” “upset that they are not making more progress.” Clearly, President Biden thinks that he should be more popular than he is — and so, evidently, does the press, which has taken in some quarters to the most preposterous conspiracy theorizing. Week in, week out, this topic is covered as if the public is failing the president, rather than the other way around. He’s a good leader, we’re informed, but, for some reason, the public just hasn’t noticed it. 

The problem with this is that it simply isn’t true. Joe Biden is not a good leader. His approval rating is not unacceptably low. And the public has no obligation to develop a different view of him than the one it has at present.

After this article was published - right on cue - Biden's poll numbers hit a new low.

When the economy hit the skids and Americans consistently said the economy was bad, a smarter and more confident President would have adopted a position of empathy and cautious hope.  Instead, ever eager to stroke his ego, Biden decided a strategy of gaslighting by boosting "Bidenomics."  You can see how that strategy worked out.

If you look at Biden's daily schedule, his work week is just incredibly light.  The dude just can't do the job.  On Thursday, he gave a speech on drug costs that - for like the jillionth time - he intoned how much you could save if only you had diabetes.  This is his schedule since that short speech:

Friday: Lunch with Kamala

Saturday: Nothing

Sunday: Fly to Delaware

Monday: Nothing

That's right: after a grueling week of virtually no public events, Joe remembered he forgot to fly to Delaware for the weekend so he engineered a Sunday-Tuesday getaway.  Don't worry: he's working to get the eight Americans held by Hamas back...from the beach.

Tuesday he'll be right back at work berating White House staff for his dismal poll numbers.
