Biden irked by Kamala Harris not 'rising to occasion'
[NYPOST] Two former White House officials said President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S. Being a self-defined foreign policy whiz kid means never having to say you're sorry......

Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism or misogyny or something like that. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's, and bimbo votes. She's an outstanding exemplar of the Peter Principle, proudly displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge
’ performance — even if he remains committed to keeping her as his running mate in the 2024 election, a new report reveals.

The 80-year-old Biden, who has gone out of his way to praise Harris in recent public remarks, reportedly has griped about his No. 2’s reluctance to take on risky assignments.

"A point of tension in their relationship is that I don’t think that the president sees her as somebody who takes anything off of his plate" due to a "fear of messing up," one former White House official told Rooters.

Another former White House official told the wire service that Biden, already the oldest-ever president, intends to seek a second term in part because he’s concerned that Harris may not be able to beat former President Donald Trump

, who is seeking the GOP nomination.

"If he did not think she was capable, he would not have picked her. But it is a question of consistently rising to the occasion," that former official said.

#1 One doesn’t rise to the occasion. One sinks to the level of one’s training.

#6 I don't think Brandon has anything to do with anything here.

That said, alongside Lowspark, I actually do think she is trying her best, its just that, yeah...

They'll play Weekend and Brandon's as long as possible, because a President Harris would blow the head off the whole joke.

#7 Vice President Harris: “So during Women’s History Month, we celebrate and we honor the women who made history throughout history, who saw what could be unburdened by what had been.”

#8 In my experience businesses that are in the process of failing fixate on some irrelevant issue like the smoking policy. Biden has divorced himself from the real issue - him. He stumbles about, he says incoherent stuff, and he signs initiatives crafted by Obama that are destructive. Somehow the problem is his understudy. Biden is failing along a track plotted by Obama and doesn’t understand that the intended destination is a total obliteration of our way of life and much of the world’s economy to be replaced by a worldwide totalitarian government. In Joe’s mind the issue is Kamala whose Constitutional role boils down the breaking ties in the Senate.

#9 I find it humorous that anyone pretends that Biden is aware of anything going on. He's a barely walking, barely talking vegetable. He's not running this show and never has been.
