Biden Taking Credit, Again

Not since Al Gore has a prominent Democratic politician reached such absurd levels of claiming credit as Clueless Joe Biden.

Biden’s Taking Credit tour hit Detroit Wednesday, where he claimed to be the reason for domestic auto manufacturers making progress in producing and offering electric vehicles.

It doesn’t matter to the Clueless One and his handlers that Detroit has plunging headlong into manufacturing EVs while boastful Biden still was playing second banana to that Obama guy.

Lamestream Media will not bother to correct Clueless Joe’s boastful claim, and so it goes.

Even today, Gore apologists defend him by saying his claim to have invented the Internet is just mean-spirited critics falsifying the record.

You make the call. What Gore is widely quoted as saying is “I took the initiative in creating the Internet.”

So, yes, he didn’t say he invented the whole worldwide web thing. He did claim a great degree of responsibility for it and he did use “creating,” indicating some degree of credit claiming.

Gore seems to fashion himself some techno-God, borrowing from the Bible’s Book of Genesis – “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

So, Gore thinks he created the Internet. Talk about being full of oneself.

Hypocrisy is a constant with Gore, who has predicted our coastal areas would be under water by now due to global warming and melting ice caps. That’s the same climate emergency Gore promoted, and then profited from, his net worth growing from a reported $700,000 in 2000 to $177.5 million in 2015, largely on the back of marketing carbon credits.

Carbon credits are a widely used financial mea culpa, sort of like some religions requiring huge donations from divorcing members to offset violating restrictions against such marital breakups in the religion’s teachings. Pony up enough cash and all is forgiven.

Clueless Biden never saw a positive development for which he would not claim credit.

His monstrous ego, exceeded only by his monstrous ineptitude, gave rise to those Biden “I did that” stickers, with rickety Joe wagging his finger. They appear often on gasoline pumps, a guerilla program combining Biden’s penchant for credit claiming with a reality he doesn’t want to own.

When those gasoline prices skyrocketed, Biden blamed Putin’s Ukraine raid – or maybe he was just serving a warrant. Now that the prices are coming down, based largely on worldwide economic stagnation and and in some small part Biden draining our strategic petroleum reserve to calm prices, Biden wants to take the credit.

This neatly ignores that gasoline prices are still far above where they were when Clueless Joe slinked into the Oval Office.

Biden is taking credit for inflation being under control, quite the dubious claim when we are running at 40-plus year highs in inflation rate.

What Biden rightly could take credit for is widening the domestic political divide, weakening our military, emboldening China, turning our southern border into a revolving door, worsening our crime and drug problems, and turning our justice and intelligence agencies into his own secret police units to harass political enemies.

But I don’t expect Clueless Joe to mount a podium to claim credit for these negative developments.

It’s left for voters to pin that tail on the lead donkey by voting out first his fellow party members and, if given the chance in 2024 (which seems unlikely) sending the head donkey packing.
