President Biden to GOP Governors re- Covid: "GET OUT OF THE WAY"

[kpete]

President Joe Biden delivered a stern message on Tuesday to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over the Republican’s opposition to mask mandates: “Get out of the way.”

“Look, we need leadership from everyone. If some governors aren’t willing to do the right thing to beat this pandemic, then they should allow businesses and universities who want to do the right thing to be able to do it,” Biden said in remarks about the pandemic. “I say to these governors please help. But if you are not going to help, at least get out of the way of the people who are trying to do the right thing. Use your power to save lives.”

1. Biden's sense of timing, whether his own ear or his staff's, is impeccable

He let them have their say and pricked their bubble at max negative impact for the governors' stupid policy.

Well played!

3. Bob had it right from way back

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don’t stand in the doorway

Don’t block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’

It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin’

4. President Biden said,

“ Help or get out of the way!” Some are beginning to listen, like Asa Hutchinson.
