On July 3rd I wrote the above headline for a Kos diary: Flood The Zone With Biden, based on the very successful rally he had in Cleveland right after his disastrous debate. This morning, 7/12/24, following President Biden’s successful and impressive high stakes press conference, Keith Olbermann said those exact same words as a pronouncement on his podcast: Biden Somehow Puts Toothpaste Back in Tube. Why did it take nearly a week and a half to come to this conclusion? Olbermann chides Biden for not doing this press conference immediately afterwards, but completely downplayed his strong showing in Cleveland. Usually sharp pundits like Olbermann and ostensibly smart people like those in the Democratic leadership have been backing the bus up over President Biden again and again in a panic, due to one bad “debate” that was actually just an unchecked lie spewing session on his opponents side.
True, President Biden doesn’t do well with people who refuse to play by the rules, but he is brilliant at using the rules to defeat opponents fair and square. However, when nobody calls out the lying scumbag in the room, it’s impossible to have an actual debate. And this is the basis for the groundswell of foolish frightened opinions all over TV and mainstream media, as well as many pearl-clutching diaries in this very publication, calling for his removal. And now that, through this unfriendly friendly-fire, Democrats have helped bring his poll numbers down, the complaints are that President Biden is unpopular and can’t win. Has anybody noticed that Repubs are pushing the dump Biden scenario? Any time you are agreeing with fascists you should take another look at your opinions. WAKE UP PEOPLE BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
