Biden ‘dream team’ photo celebrating 3 years panned online: ‘This ain’t my dream!’

January 21, 2024 | | Print Article

From boast to roast. The ridicule practically wrote itself after President Joe Biden tried to brag about his White House “dream team.”

Voters have grown accustomed to hearing some form of the same question each election cycle since it was first widely presented by then-former California Gov. Ronald Reagan during his 1980 debate with President Jimmy Carter: “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”

Saturday, as the Biden administration marked three years since his inauguration, Americans could readily consider a more condensed timeline for that query as each passing year, month and even week in some cases has weighed heavily on the public’s outlook as a nation.

That didn’t stop the president’s social media team from dropping an image of him along side his wife Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff with the tone-deaf caption, “Three years with this dream team.”

Along with the tagline, prompting the ready response from social media users that the dream has been a “freaking nightmare,” the communications blunder included a highlight reel that played like a train wreck as the administration touted widespread distribution of experimental mRNA injections, omnibus spending packages picking winners and losers to further fan the flames of inflation, ideologically driven legislative initiatives benefiting China and foreign policy that has ushered in rising conflict around the globe.

All that came just from talking up the facts that could be spun in a positive light.

Items left out from the three year recap of Uncle Joe taking a Marxist sledgehammer to Uncle Sam’s foundations included the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the draining of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the blank check written to Ukraine while disasters like those seen in East Palestine, Ohio and Lahaina, Hawaii were memory-holed, along with the gutting of the American military, a wide-open southern border and rampant crime supported by soft-on-crime leftist prosecutors.

Those sold on the dream of “build back better” were likely experiencing severe buyer’s remorse represented in the president’s flailing approval numbers.

In response to the feeble attempt to gaslight the American people into a platitude-induced amnesia about the State of the Union, some seven weeks before the president offered what many hoped would be his last official address of that kind on Thursday March 7, the more than 17,000 replies to the post in less than 24 hours were loaded with varied reflections on how the 36 months since Biden was sworn in were anything but a dream.

As then-candidate Reagan said on the verge of winning the presidency, “If you don’t think that this course that we’ve been on for the last four years is what you would like to see us follow for the next four, then I could suggest another choice that you have.”
