What about the economy sleepy joe! We need economy to function

But he wasn’t prepared and doesn’t know what it takes.

How many hospitals are truly truly overwhelmed? Not just saying they are. Just saw a video of a hospital employee that showed an empty waiting room and not many people at all but admin says and claimed they are overwhelmed.

Biden just gives me the Impression that he's too old to be President.

We're good bro, go help Israel with iran and punk out china for us like trump did

Finally

We have YET to be prepared for any aspect of this pandemic. Two years in and not a home test kit to be had. Always playing half assed catch-up after the hospitals are overwhelmed. We saw Omicron coming and here we are again.

Watching it with no sound...man...something's off (btw he was my least favorite democrat)

I thought the worst would have been donald but I was wrong

So sending 20 doctors to each state? Equals 1000,,,, Wow that his grand plan he ran on a year ago

Is it just me or does it look like he is reading of on a teleprompter?

But we still do not test immigrants at the border, nor do we feel the importance of stopping illegal migration at the border where, no doubt, a great number of positives are probably coming in unchecked

Let's go Darwin!

Yeah, and to help replace those who got fired because of you.

Send in the troops. America's answer for everything.

Hey ABC news, tell us about Biden telling governors that the federal Government can’t do more for Covid and now is up to the states. Then, he left for vacation without a single answer to the media or the American people.

Meanwhile in Brazil.... a disaster !!!

Well you have clearly proven you and the administration are not ready. I voted for you to assure the former guy was not re-elected. I at least assumed you would be competent enough to know testing would be available critical to keep us safe. Expected too much
