Neil Wild’s letter titled “Democrats are failing” in the Sept. 17 edition is a perfect example of Republican hypocrisy, lying, truth denying, ignorance and disrespect. Wild claims that he is a Republican and not a MAGA Republican, yet, in his letter, he sure acts like a MAGA Republican by his complete hypocrisy, lying, name calling and disrespect to the Democrats and President Biden. Wild falsely claims that President Biden “has done less than nothing for the American people.” News flash Mr. Wild, President Biden has accomplished a lot in his first two years in office, you are just lying about it!
President Biden’s accomplishments include:
1). Averting a nationwide railroad strike with the announcement of a tentative deal;
2). Reaffirmed America’s commitment to NATO, after it was nearly destroyed by Trump;
3). Regained America’s worldwide reputation of strength and power, after Trump made America look like a “Banana Republic”;
4). The first gun control legislation in decades passed in Congress;

5). The Inflation Reduction Act passed and signed into law;
6). America rejoined the Paris Climate Accord, after Trump stopped America’s participation;
7). Major stimulus package passed that helped tens of millions of Americans during COVID-19 pandemic; and
8). Student loan debt forgiveness passed to help millions of Americans.
So, the question is, what is the difference between a “regular” Republican and a “MAGA” Republican? Maybe, the difference is, if a Republican wears a MAGA hat out in public, or, just inside his own home.
You’re hilarious, Mr. Oberg. Let me summarize your points without the left-wing spin:
1) Tentative deal struck by promising raises over 20%. Key word: tentative. I wouldn’t be surprised if Biden negotiates against himself and increases more giveaways to union labor before the deal is accepted.
3) Yes, a world reputation of strength and power by surrendering Afghanistan along with $billions, and a reputation of impotence in Ukraine. With “strength and power” like that, I’m sure world leaders are shaking – they are, but with laughter.
4) Gun control legislation which means nothing since the legislation will be found to be unconstitutional.
2, 5, 6, 7, 8) These can all be lumped together as spending other people’s money leading to increasing inflation, with little to no benefit for Americans.
Mr. Oberg, please stop parroting the fake news and lies from the Dem playbook. Since you didn’t want to list the real accomplishments of Biden’s America Last policies, let me help you out with a dose of reality… Just one of the following easily trumps all 8 of your dubious accomplishments: unchecked inflation, rising crime rates, unchecked invasion from the south.
Don’t be too harsh. I think the right side of the aisle can concede that a “tentative” agreement re: a railroad strike is a positive development. However, some of the other comments in the LTE don’t make a lot of sense to me.
Reaffirming a commitment to NATO? I don’t think having NATO members pay a fairer share for the defense of Europe needed any attention from Joe. Regaining a worldwide reputation for strength and power? I’m kinda thinking Xi and ol’ Vlad would disagree. An Inflation Reduction Act that doesn’t reduce inflation?
The author has some expertise in the law. I’m wondering how he would argue that shifting responsibility for a half trillion dollars of student debt is constitutional.
Very well done, Mike! And, as expected, someone has already shown how right you are, - without grasping the indirect, unintended support! Almost amusing.
I see you posted more invective aimed at Republicans on your blog site two days ago.
Interestingly, with respect to that posting, you said that Joe was "doing quite well" and that there were only “petty complaints from the other side" about his performance. When asked to explain why you consider criticism of record inflation, rising gas prices, the disaster at the border, rising crime, and unchecked aggression by foreign adversaries to be only “petty complaints”… no response.
Ray: Haven’t I tried to explain to you in private that I’m not wasting more of my time responding to your endless side-tracking complaints about President Biden, as if all world problems are his fault, or can be fixed by him? You may soon discover what I have been devoting my time to instead.
Jorg... you said Joe was doing well and that criticism of issues occurring during his presidency were "petty complaints." When asked why... no response.
Were you giving a lecture or an opinion that can be debated?

Hello, Jorg
I see you posted more invective aimed at Republicans on your blog site two days ago.
Interestingly, with respect to that posting, you said that Joe was "doing quite well" and that there were only “petty complaints from the other side" about his performance.

Maybe Michael O. has an answer.

Besides, I don’t need you to advertise my blog!
