Who's In Charge?

Biden’s drift and weakness

• Throughout his 18 months as president, Biden has been confused, uncertain, and sluggish
• He behaves as if he is guided by unseen forces
• Every time I speak to a conservative audience, I am asked who is really in charge in the White House
• My answer has been that the president is in command
• Lately, though, I have been having second thoughts
• Whether anyone is leading the government at all

Biden’s Plan

• Biden blames Vladimir Putin and the energy industry for high gas prices.
• He says it's the Federal Reserve's job to reduce inflation. He asks Middle East autocrats to pump more oil rather than easing the burden on domestic fossil fuel production. He wants more spending, more tax hikes, more regulation. Will Congress give him what he wants?

Biden could explain to the nation why it is in our interest to admit as many asylum-seekers as possible, even if a rise in illegal entries and in cross-border human and drug trafficking is the consequence

• Or he could admit that his policies are responsible for a humanitarian disaster and withdraw his earlier executive orders
• Biden is either satisfied with the situation or simply overwhelmed by it

How?

• By giving Ukraine what it needs to push Russia back to the pre-war line of control
• Biden needs to match his actions with his words and drop his inhibitions on the aid we provide the Ukrainians
• He could do so while launching a peace initiative, thereby restoring coercive diplomacy as a tool of American foreign policy
