Boy, President Joe Biden sure took his sweet time reaching out to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ahead of Hurricane Ian. It was almost as if Biden was going out of his way to talk to literally anyone — including dead people, apparently — other than DeSantis. But eventually, Biden and DeSantis did speak. DeSantis even thanked Biden.
And now, Team Biden seems to have realized that they can try to use those optics to their advantage (which is more important than ever right now, because the optics surrounding the Biden administration are horrendously awful). So that’s exactly what they’re doing. How successful their efforts will be ... well, so far, we’re not terribly impressed.
Take a look at this tweet from yesterday:
President Biden (@POTUS - United States government official) ~ This morning, I spoke with Governor Ron DeSantis to discuss the steps we're taking to support Florida in response to Hurricane Ian.
I've also directed FEMA Administrator Criswell to travel to Florida tomorrow to check in on response and survey where additional support is needed.
Let’s break it down, shall we? First al all:
Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) ~ Biden only spoke to DeSantis after facing backlash for not reaching out.
Yeah ... Joe Biden was effectively forced into talking to DeSantis. You know it, we know it ... every person who’s not completely blinded by baseless loyalty to the Biden administration and Democratic Party knows it.
Now let’s talk about that photo.
Presumably this one was the best of the bunch. Which doesn’t say much for the rest of the bunch.
Kevin Dombrowski (@KevinDombrowski) ~ Me trying to look busy when my wife comes home.
KennyH (@icwings) ~ Who dialed the phone for him?
Do we even know for sure that the phone is plugged in? And even if Ron DeSantis was on the other end of that call, how the hell could Biden possibly make out what DeSantis was saying?
Andrew Malcolm (@AHMalcolm) ~ For the camera, Joe Biden pretends to confer with Florida's Gov. DeSantis. But Biden forgot where a phone goes if you're really listening.
Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ In which Biden pretends to be using the phone but ends up putting it on his neck instead of ear.
Catkins (@atkinscheryl1) ~ The photo op ... the phone isn't even up to his ear. Maybe he listens from his cheek.
Either Biden is just totally tuning DeSantis out, or he’s actually forgotten how a phone is supposed to work.
Or, like we suggested earlier, that phone isn’t even plugged in. If that’s the case, it’s something the phone and Joe Biden have in common.
Doug Powers (@ThePowersThatBe) ~ "I can't hear the governor. Can somebody tell me why I can't hear the governor? Where's Jackie?"
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
