Re: The Biden - Harris Era.
Sure you do! You just posted an OpEd telling everyone that Obama failed, implying that you agree with it.
Failed at what? Once you answer that question, then you know what it is you want Biden to do.
So plainly you think Obama failed. Spell it out. What did he fail to do? Let's finish this conversation.
I didn't get upset in the least when you called me a liar....three times now. I got a chuckle. I don't have thin skin.
I'm sorry, but you simply don't realize what you do. Look at how you're handling Trump-----a boatload of excuses as to why he, among other things, wasn't reelected. As if Trump is the first POTUS to deal with things that are beyond his control.
Yet with Obama? Flat judgement from you. No discussion of things beyond Obama's control. No excuses.
THAT is what we're discussing here. You don't even notice you do this. You just do it, and then get upset with me when I simply point out that you're not treating Dem and R leaders using the same metric. R's get every benefit of the doubt, no matter how ridiculous. Dems? They get nothing, and you send a scathing OpEd to tell me how horribly the Dem POTUS fared with China.
Case in point:
Did you "forget" all the exigent circumstances Obama had to deal with? Things like, oh, I don't know.... keeping the American Economy from sliding into the abyss after the 08 crash? That seems a tad more important than doing whatever it is you think we should do with trade with China, wouldn't you think?
Nope. Who cares about stupid details like that, right? We're discussing a Democrat. And Obama failed.
And then let's see how you deal with Trump....
......I mean.....really, tech? You're sure Obama failed, and has no excuse. Yet Trump? You're----come on----telling me that gee whiz, you're not sure if he succeeded or not?
Let me help you. Here's your words as to what you wanted Trump to stop:
Did he do it, or not?
-Is China still stealing IP?
-Is China still manufacturing components for illegal drugs used in the US?
Pretty simple, and these were YOUR goals, not mine.
So? Did you stop both of the above, or was he 'impotent" like Obama, and failed?

Tell me what Biden should do with China. Broad, simple strokes will suffice.
Then you can't come back later and tell us that "he's doing it wrong". You'll be on the record.
And remember-----you just gave Trump a full pass for how he handled Trade during Covid. So you have to do the same for Biden while the virus rages.
And from there.....you just told us that Obama's response to China and Trade was "impotent".
Trump's term is over. Did Trump succeed with China?
I don't know what Biden should or will do. It was campaign rhetoric of course but I'm pretty sure he walked a line somewhere between Trump's trade war and at the same time wanting to bolster international trade laws that China routinely breaks.
By this article it seems Biden isn't sure what he wants either:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa- ... SKBN28C0HV
"Biden says will not kill Phase 1 trade deal with China immediately: NYT"
"(Reuters) - Joe Biden will not immediately cancel the trade agreement that President Donald Trump struck with China nor take steps to remove tariffs on Chinese exports, the New York Times on Wednesday quoted the U.S. president-elect as saying."
I never gave Trump a "full pass" on anything. I'd say that's a lie but you get upset with that so let's just say inaccurate and misrepresented.
"Impotent" was the word the article used and was built around. I'd say that seems accurate.
I don't know if Trump succeeded or not. It depends on your definition of 'succeed" in this case. I have said repeatedly that we'll never know because of the Covid interruption. Covid doesn't happen, Trump is reelected and the trade war developments are on-going. Where he did succeed, IMO, was taking China on as no POTUS had before, highlighting China as an adversary, not only for the U.S., but the world.
You don't agree with this, it's not changeable, and that's fine. Extend a courtesy here as you have other posters at times and just say we'll agree to disagree.
