On Thursday, ex-Vice President Joe Biden entered the presidential race by announcing his run as a Democrat candidate for 2020. He said he wants to run as an “Obama-Biden” Democrat. Seriously? Didn’t Obama do enough to alter America with the disaster of our healthcare system by creating Obamacare? Add to that, Obama was viewed by most Americans as the most divisive president ever.
Funny, how Biden sees it. Here were Biden’s words as he announced his campaign on social media:

“But if we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation — who we are — and I cannot stand by and watch that happen….” He went on to say, “Everything that has made America America is at stake,” Biden said. “That’s why today I’m announcing my candidacy for president of the United States.“
Don’t you just love how Democrats all seem to have this great art of spinning words when it comes to reality?
I think most blue collar Americans agree thatObama fundamentally altered America in many ways, but NONE were positive.
Regardless of if you look at the economy, foreign or domestic policy, Obama’s radical gun control, his outrageous taxpayer-funded abortions, or his nationalized and mandated healthcare plan that wasn’t affordable or accessible by many, the Obama-Biden administration was by far the worst since probably WWII.
Over the first five years of Obama’s presidency, the U.S. economy grew more slowly than during any five-year period since just after the end of World War II, averaging less than 1.3 percent per year. If we leave out the sharp recession of 1945-46 following World War II, Obama looks even worse, ranking dead last among all presidents since 1932. No other president since the Great Depression has presided over such a steadily poor rate of economic growth during his first five years in office. The highest annual growth rate since Obama took office was 2.8 percent.
Obama’s best year of economic growth would have been a below-average year across the past 70 years.
Democrats try to spin these facts by saying that the stock market went up a good deal under the Obama Administration. It in fact did, but if you look at a stock chart, most of the gains made under the Obama Administration were from the rebound/recovery of the Great Recession, vs NEW gains. On the contrary, President Trump’s presidency has seen over 100 new highs thus far.
During the Obama administration, regulations were at an all-time high and choked our economy and jobs. Unemployment was at an all-time high. The number of people on food stamps was insane. President Trump, on the other hand, has exceeded his promise to the American people to cut two business regulations for every new one implemented.
Progressivism was rising as czars and socialism were the mainstream during the Obama-Biden years in the White House.
So Biden, 76, when he says he’s running as the “Obama-Biden” Democrat must either have dementia or else he’s not paying attention to the amazing job President Trump has done since taking over after the disaster of the Obama-Biden administration.
Biden appears to have some additional headwinds to grapple with, granting he gets the Democratic “nod” and goes on to challenge President Trump. His list of challenging hurdles to jump over is certainly not a short one or an easy one for him to grapple with. Here are a few more of them:
Joe Biden has a problem with keeping his hands to himself. To add to the speculation for many years based on pictures and other evidence of his creepy gestures with women and even children, many have officially come forward to complain about his unbecoming and borderline sexual harassment.
The former vice president has even gone as far as to hire former Obama adviser and “damage control specialist” for Harvey Weinstein, Anita Dunn. This is in an effort to cover up, downplay, and move past his past grappling issues instead of owning up to and confronting them head-on.
UNWANTED ENDORSEMENT:
Recently Mr. Biden received an endorsement from a man who Fox News host Tucker Carlson likes to refer to as “creepy porn lawyer” AKA Michael Avenatti. This is the lawyer who took on the infamous Stormy Daniels’ case against President Trump that has since backfired on the two of them, and done nothing to ultimately damage the Trump presidency. Avenatti was recently arrested and charged with embezzlement and extortion charges, the likes of which could potentially end up putting him in jail for the rest of his life. I know if I was running for President this is not a man whose endorsement I would seek, regardless of which party I was running under.
To add to the list of woes, Joe Biden has a history of making gaffes that make him, well, let’s just say less than smooth at the best of times and outright embarrassed and counter-intuitive to his own platform other times. Read here about a time when Joe Biden said to a reporter that “America used to be straight”.
Then you have his plagiarism scandal that influenced his dropping out of the presidential race in 1987, one of his other two attempts at the run for the top job in the land.
Now most recently, Anita Hill, who accused someone else of sexual misconduct in the past and was mistreated by Biden when he was head of the Senate Judiciary Committee at a hearing, is very displeased with Biden’s lackluster attempts at apologizing for his past misdeeds, simply by implying that the times have changed rather than flat out admitting he was in the wrong.
From “National Review”: “I cannot be satisfied by simply saying, ‘I’m sorry for what happened to you,’” Hill, now a professor at Brandeis University told the New York Times in a Wednesday interview. “I will be satisfied when I know there is real change and real accountability and real purpose.”
So, with all these hurdles and more, Joe Biden faces a large swath of Democrats, many of them are more in tune to the modern day Democrat platform of radical leftism and socialism than he is, as well as a very strong Republican incumbent in Donald J Trump.
In fact, after winning the election and taking over the office of the presidency, in February 2017 Donald Trump stated,
“To be honest, I inherited a mess….It’s a mess … at home and abroad. A mess. Jobs are pouring out of the country. You see what’s going on with all of the companies leaving our country, going to Mexico and other places. Low pay, low wages, mass instability overseas no matter where you look — the Middle East, a disaster, North Korea. We’ll take care of it, folks. I just want to let you know I inherited a mess.”
And he has been keeping promises. Just look at this recently compiled list from talk show host “Mark Simone”. When you look at how President Trump has accomplished so much, in so little time, despite phony Democrat witch hunts designed to destroy him, and how many American’s lives are better than they were 3 years ago, there’s really only one question to ask.
Do Americans really want to go back to the days of ‘Sleepy Joe’ and Obama? I think not!
As Lara Trump said, he may seem to be the “most sane choice” of 2020 Democrats for 2020, but then again who wouldn’t be in a field with the likes of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
President Trump seemed to sum it up best on Twitter:

One thing Biden failed to mention in his race-baiting video earlier in the article, was that when President Trump spoke on the Charlottesville, Virginia “Unite The Right” fiasco, he also said specifically that neo-Nazis and white nationalists should be ‘totally condemned’.
Talk about going backward in America or ‘Back to the Future’. Are most Americans really that stupid? But then again as President Trump states, Biden’s ‘not the brightest bulb’ in the group.
Joe Biden did get one thing right in his campaign announcement when he said,
“..everything that has made America — America –is at stake.”, just not necessarily in the way he thinks it is.
