CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 3, 2020
PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN HAS BEEN INTERVIEWED BY THE LIBERAL NEW YORK TIMES COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN.
IN THAT INTERVIEW, BIDEN PROMISES TO EFFECTIVELY MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN IN WAYS PRESIDENT TRUMP ALREADY HAS AND IN OTHER WAYS THAT WILL PUT AMERICA IN MORE ECONOMIC DANGER AND IN DANGER FROM IRAN AND POSSIBLY CHINA.
BIDEN TOLD FRIEDMAN “WE’RE GOING TO FIGHT LIKE (BLANK) BY INVESTING IN AMERICA FIRST.” I THOUGHT PUTTING AMERICA FIRST WAS XENOPHOBIC AND RACIST. OF COURSE BIDEN DOESN’T MEAN IT THE WAY PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SUCCEEDED IN DOING. HE MEANS SPENDING ON HIS PET PROJECTS, INCREASING THE DEBT.
BIDEN SAID HE WILL RE-SHAPE U.S. STRATEGY TOWARDS CHINA. THIS THINKING HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FLAW AMONG DEMOCRATS WHO THINK THEY CAN BEND DICTATORS TO THEIR WILL. I WONDER IF HE THINKS HE CAN DO BETTER WITH NORTH KOREA AND IRAN THAN TRUMP HAS?
HERE’S ONE THING FOR SURE. IF REPUBLICANS HOLD A SENATE MAJORITY THE MEDIA AND BIDEN WILL ACCUSE THEM OF OBSTRUCTION. IT NEVER WORKS THE OTHER WAY AROUND. I CALL IT CHECKS AND BALANCES. I’M CAL THOMAS.
