Biden's MIA approach to bitterly cold winter storm paralyzing Texas

 Bonchie:

With Texas and the South being slammed by a once in a generation winter storm, you’d expect the President of the United States to be intimately involved in the response, and I don’t mean just signing an emergency order. After Hurricane Harvey, Donald Trump flew straight to Texas to meet with FEMA and show leadership over the situation. Even Barack Obama did the same following Hurricane Sandy and other natural disasters that happened during his two terms.

Yet, not only has Joe Biden not made any attempt to go to Texas (or anywhere in the South that was hit hard), he hasn’t even given a public address on the situation, nor has he done a public appearance with FEMA officials back in Washington. In fact, he spent the first part of last week, while the storm was hammering away, playing Mario Kart at Camp David. He then did a town hall on CNN where he did not mention the storm at all before calling an 8am lid later in the week. It’s an extremely unusual way for a president to present himself during such a catastrophe.

But it’s not just optics that are the problem here. News also recently broke that Biden’s emergency order did not go nearly far enough, and to some eyes, appeared to be spiteful towards the needs of Texans.
...

Some other sources are saying that the Department of Energy did allow an increase. I’m sure we’ll find out more in the days ahead about exactly what happened there.

Regardless, we know that Biden didn’t sign the disaster declaration that covered all the countries that Gov. Abbott requested. I’d ask why, but we all know Biden is never made to answer any press questions, so I might as well be pondering the greater mysteries of the universe.

In response to Biden’s complete lack of a real public response, the media are praising him for his “low-key approach.” No, I’m not making that up.
...

As Texans sit in houses damaged by the freeze with broken water pipes and looking at huge repair bills Biden and the feds have been AWAL on helping them deal with the myriad problems.  The feds also refuse to lower pollution standards that would have allowed greater production of energy to meet the demands of the winter storm.  It is not like a little global warming would not have been helpful.  

What we see from the left is the making of excuses for the failure of green energy in dealing with the blizzard. What they have done is convince millions that Green New Deal is a killer and those pushing it could warm things up by going to hell.
