Voters barely remember what someone did six months ago. You honestly think they are going to remember, or care, what gas prices were 3 years before an election?

I think that by lowering gas prices he slightly increases probability of "Build Back Better" to be passed because somehow republicans and radical democrats(Manchin and others) were able to couple future spending plans with the current inflation and gas prices and sell this BS to the public.

BBB is a big win for Biden and it could help him and dems in 2022 and 2024.

Losing a war. Leaving hundreds of Americans stranded, people who helped us being slaughtered.

You don’t come back from that.

Pretty sure that war was lost a long time ago.

I thought that Obama actually won this war back in 2012 when they found and killed bin laden, no?

Yeah, paying attention to a a few troubled Americans while ignoring hundreds of thousands of actual victims sounds like typical US mentality.

That war was lost on 2003. Biden finally put a fork in it
