Goodbye Biden

 Last Post on Biden:

Legacy of any President is tricky and is not set on cement before decades. But in case of Biden at this time it seems pretty certain that he is not going to remembered as one of the great presidents this country has ever produced despite some significant policy and foreign affairs victories.

Aweful ratings

Biden left white house with 38% approval rating and only 25% good/great president rating for any one term president. The numbers are dismal compared to other presidents. Here's Harry Enten's analysis



Pardons

On his last hours Biden pardoned several of his family members pre-emptive pardons. Though there are some precedence of presidents pardoning their family members, the sweeping pardons by Biden in last hours after pardoning his son in December is an unpordanable act in mind and leaves never want to talk about Biden again.


Economy

However, in the spirit of fairness we have to look at some of the positives of the Biden administration. One for sure was the economy. Though, the inflationary pressure on regular main street folks wiped away the significant gains that people enjoyed who were invested in the stock market.

Policy achievements

Biden had significant acheivements in the filed of infrascture bill and Covid recovery, job creation. In other areas his achivements were less than signficant. Here is a summary of his policy achievements and attempts.

2 weeks on and it feels like the nation is drinking from a hose

First, for the key headlines from the last 2 weeks (1/20-2/2)  click here Now...some topics for deep dive.. 1. Flood the zone with Executive Orders As it was expected Trump wasted no time in unleashing the flurry of Executive Orders from day-1 in office. Apart from rescinding previously established EOs by Biden administration, Trump added 45 new ones to send a message to the people who voted for him and also the people who were observing his agenda. Needless to say the plethora of EOs seemed promises made, promises kept to his followers where he went heavily after the favorite agenda items of the MAGA movement, from going after the illegal immigrants to re-defining gender as binary to axing federal programs that had anything to do with DEI.  Below is the summary of all the EOs from NPR. https://www.npr.org/2025/01/28/nx-s1-5276293/trump-executive-orders Here are the actual PDFs of all the EOs. https://www.federalregister.gov/presidential-documents/executive-orders/donald-...
