ABC's David Muir actually grilled Biden on his Covid failures. Noting the "empty shelves" in pharmacies and "no test kits" before Christmas, Muir asks: "Is that a failure?" He pressed further asking: "Is that good enough?"
"No, nothing is good enough," Biden responded. pic.twitter.com/t0ZNIZ11Ey

Biden kept getting "pills" and "test kits" mixed up. He expressed regret for not thinking of boosting testing kits for individuals "two months ago," "before COVID came us," using the term "COVID" instead of "Omicron." As we previously mentioned, Biden had considered increasing the number of testing kits. In March and September, he'd promised them. He just did not follow through on his pledge.

He was also given a plan to distribute 732 million test kits to Americans in order to meet the expected rise in demand for them throughout the holiday season. The concept was rejected by Biden. Now he claims that he never considered any of it, and that no one could have predicted the requirement. Can we speak about how strange and suspicious it is that Biden doesn't appear to know what he's doing and/or can't keep up with his falsehoods from one minute to the next?

While CNN didn't cover every detail of the situation, Jeff Zeleny did call out Biden's befuddlement and scolded him for not accepting responsibility for the lack of testing. Biden has previously had more than a month to respond to the question with Omicron, Zeleny pointed out.

CNN’s Jeff Zeleny says Joe Biden is “not accepting any responsibility for this lack of testing.”

"Throughout this interview with David Muir, President Biden appears perplexed and appears to be mistaking the half-billion tests that they've ordered with a half-billion drugs," Zeleny added. "Of course, with Pfizer's approval of the antiviral, tablets were in the news today, so he rectified himself, but it was one thing that stood out to me."

The promise of testing in January, according to Zeleny, may also be bogus. "There is no reason to believe that [tests] would be given out early in January as the president stated," Zeleny said.

The media has been enraged by the testing issue, maybe because it's finally striking home for them - they can't obtain tests, therefore they're on an equal footing with the rest of us.

That wasn't the end of it.

CNN also confirmed last week that Biden's economic approval ratings were worse than Jimmy Carter's, demonstrating that he had the lowest net approval rating of anybody in modern history on the subject. Americans were concerned about inflation and Biden's reluctance to address it, which fueled the movement.

When it comes to what Americans think about Joe Biden, this exchange between John Berman and Harry Enten is just brutally honest.

So, what's the deal with this sudden admission of guilt? I'd like to believe we're witnessing a shift, but I'm not betting on it. But it's encouraging to see them admit he has a problem with confusion and be open about how dissatisfied Americans are with him right now when it comes to the economy.

We'll have to wait and see if this happens again. Is it possible that they will no longer feel obligated to protect Biden because someone/something else will be elevated instead? We'll have to wait and watch how things play out, but things aren't looking good for Biden.

When even CNN is writing about it, you know there’s an issue. Are they abandoning Kamala or simply taking Biden’s side in the throw down?

Worn out by what they see as entrenched dysfunction and lack of focus, key West Wing aides have largely thrown up their hands at Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff — deciding there simply isn’t time to deal with them right now, especially at a moment when President Joe Biden faces quickly multiplying legislative and political concerns.

The exasperation runs both ways. Interviews with nearly three dozen former and current Harris aides, administration officials, Democratic operatives, donors and outside advisers — who spoke extensively to CNN — reveal a complex reality inside the White House. Many in the vice president’s circle fume that she’s not being adequately prepared or positioned, and instead is being sidelined. The vice president herself has told several confidants she feels constrained in what she’s able to do politically. And those around her remain wary of even hinting at future political ambitions, with Biden’s team highly attuned to signs of disloyalty, particularly from the vice president.

Meanwhile, she was pretty much ignored by the French on her visit to Paris. This was the take on the trip from Politico.eu:

Isn't it one of the things that's missing? They ridiculed the French.

So, if the plan was to utilize her to aid with relationships or to introduce her on the world stage, it doesn't appear to have worked.

Harris was one of the VIP guests at the opening ceremony of the Paris Peace Forum, Macron’s yearly marquee event on global multilateralism.

But her speech fell a bit flat, with Harris offering little by way of concrete solutions or new game-changing proposals to fight inequalities.

Instead, the U.S. vice president called on world leaders to “refuse to accept the status quo” and fight the “dramatic rise” in inequalities.

They must first notice you in order for you to be launched. That would be a critical component of everything.

But this is a big part of the reported division — that Harris doesn’t think that she’s getting treated appropriately or featured favorably for things she wants.

That's why what occurred today during Joe Biden's signing of the infrastructure bill was so amusing and, in pure Biden-Harris manner, so perplexing.

Harris was present, hoping to profit from the bill's "success." When it was her turn to speak, though, the music played "Hail to the Chief," which seemed unusual given that Joe Biden was seated immediately behind her. But you can see her grinning with joy at the prospect of the song being written for her.

Then the announcer asked everyone to “Please welcome Heather Kurtenbach” as Harris awkwardly stood at the podium to make her remarks. Kurtenbach was the lady standing behind Harris. You could see Harris’ face change and tighten, then came the fake smile and she said, “In a moment,” obviously disturbed. She then cackled a bit and Joe Biden laughed.

Then, you would think, normally, it would be Harris who would be introducing Joe Biden for his comments on the bill. Instead, they had Kurtenbach, the political director of Iron Workers Local 86 in Washington state.

How did this all come to be? After the rumors of disagreement, Harris was presumably penciled in to make statements at the last minute to pacify her. They didn't, however, rearrange the order of events with the announcer. Is this indicative of the Biden-Harris administration's incoherence? Or was it a direct mocking of Harris by Biden's team? We can only state that the Brandon-Kurtenbach Administration is currently in charge.
