This week, we asked readers for their thoughts on President Joe Biden’s job performance after 100 days in office.

 

“Well, my expectations were pretty low because I’m old enough to remember Biden through the decades and I’m pleasantly surprised, not because I think he’s had a change of heart, but because conditions have become dire. I think the Trump interregnum was a real wake-up call for – let’s call it – the establishment, our governing pooh-bahs. They realized that they actually have to try and do something while at the same time serving their money-bag overlords. That’s their priority, not actual people.”

“Well, my opinion is that he’s doing a lot of the things that he said he was going to do. I do really hope that, like FDR, he puts into play this Green New Deal or at least begins it, and the infrastructure plan is really important to me. But, he’s well ahead of his target of 100 million vaccinations, where he’s had over 200 million vaccinations, and slowly but surely, he’s trying to get the country back on track from the way we crashed under Trump.”

“The last 100 days seem longer than 100 days after those crazy four-years we went through. It feels like it’s been a year already with Biden due to how bad it was since the Trump campaign. We just went through a tough situation for all of the immigrants who understand what I’m saying, because of the fact that you could just go out for anything, and you could get into big trouble because he [former President Donald Trump] was literally sending everyone back to their home countries for whatever reason, and you had no chance. So, today, you feel a little more freedom now and feel way better than before. The bad energy has kind of gone away and hopefully, it will stay this way.”

“I really think he’s doing a great job! I love Mr Biden! He’s really good, and he’s taking his time approaching the situation. I like how he’s cautious in dealing with the vaccine, and how people are getting the injection and how he’s going about it. So, I’m happy he’s my president. Go, my president!”

“His first 100 days were good, but people need to wake up because if he’s giving away a whole bunch of the government’s money, that means the government is about to close again, or even become bankrupt. In American history, the government has never just given away $2 trillion, just like that.

 

I don’t think they should do the stimulus. They should put everyone on a monthly plan instead of one shot, because people are going to take this money and live it up and he’s cutting off the people that actually go to work, and by doing that, you’re going to create more crime… Joe Biden is not doing a good job.”
