Crisis week for Biden?

     To read the NYT or Washington Post, you would assume the Biden administration was going down in disgrace.  Instead of celebrating or at least citing the statistics of the largest ever airlift of civilians from a war zone, all the media can do is push the " bungled" operation.   In the wake of the most powerful storm ever to hit Louisiana, all the pundits can do is lament the situation is not as bad as after Katrina, hoping for photos of people clinging to rooftops awaiting rescue.

      Biden is far from perfect, but so far an administration built on people with real world expertise instead of political connections or nepotism has so far negotiated the challenges of a balky congress, the Afghan withdrawal and Hurricane Ida with competence if not aplomb.
