WASHINGTON — As President Joe Biden preaches patience but acts with urgency, his vision of the powers of the Oval Office is quickly taking shape, modeled after Democratic predecessors who dramatically expanded the reach of government to confront generational crises. In a recent meeting with historians and in private conversations with advisers, Biden looked to the examples set by Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson as he aims to use the levers of executive authority to create opportunities and break down barriers. Unlike Roosevelt and Johnson, who enjoyed formidable Democratic majorities in Congress, Biden has had to operate with a no-margin-for-error edge in fiercely partisan Washington.CORRECTION*

Biden the Usurper is destroying all faith and trust in government

Exactly, OP. I see headlines and stories like this and feel like I'm reading about some superman whose brain and body are constantly operating at a level mere mortals can only dream of. They've created a fictional character, and continually embellish its powers with wild abandon..

the best way for shuffles "to restore faith in government" would be to resign, declare the election was a fraud and declare Donald J. Trump the legally elected President of the United States. and, of course I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

Really? FDR was a wartime President. Biden going to start a war? There is absolutely no support for one no matter what the media says. LBJ quit after one term. Maybe Biden will quit too.
Biden isn't the person to restore faith in government. Is he going to fix the debt? He can fix everything by growing the government? What are these people smoking? All the problems facing our country are being caused by our government.

Obama wanted to make government “cool again.” I don’t want cool government. Government needs to mind their own business. And leave their grubby hands away from individual liberties. When Biden says something, he intends the opposite. Unite, no he wants to tear the country apart. Restore faith, nope. All he does has the objective to crackdown on freedoms and destroy the middle class. Biden and his goons are dangerous criminals.

With lobster bibs donned, again more journalistic acts of gratification performed on lunch bucket Joe. You know the last time someone name Joe was at the helm of a country, it didn’t end well for him or the country. Just saying.

The only way my hope in government would be restored would be for Biden, Harris, Pelosi and Schumer to go to jail.

Faith in government?! That would mean "faith" in politicians and government workers. Uh, NO! These people have shown their true colors over the last fifty years and their agenda is not in the interest of human freedom. If anyone connected with government tells me that the sky is blue and water is wet, I would require visual, tactile, olfactory and aural verification before even considering they might be speaking the truth. Even then I would not trust them.

After over fifty years in corrupt government as an incredibly flawed and corrupt official and after usurping your way into its highest office, how can you think we believe you're the one to restore faith in it? You can't restore faith in government while destroying faith in government at the same time.

Biden seems to be proving that President Reagan was correct when he said the scariest words are, "I from the government and I'm here to help." He has done such a wonderful job at the southern board so far.

Biden was incapable of real thought BEFORE he was VP and now President. Recall Obama saying never underestimate Joe's capacity to f--- things up. Now someone has told him he is FDR and since he is also obviously semi senile he believes it. The ones I hate are all the Dems and Corporate CEO's who look the other way as this country is destroyed.

Oh man, I thought the one about all the "worry" over the debt was a riot but this one tops it. The demented old puppet in the White House along with the degenerates who run congress and the cowards who run the courts have worked furiously to destroy what is left of constitutional law while ignoring fraud and corruption on a scale never seen in our history. They wall off the capital because they fear and despise the people they "represent". And the demented old puppet is going to restore faith in government. Breathtaking.

Biden isn't working on anything it's all doomed and a joke but not a laughable joke. Biden didn't come up with this but someone is running the government and it's not Kamala. This is such a funny headline I had to cackle like Kamala Harris.

All I could do is laugh at the headline. I have no intention of reading an article by the Ass Press saying that the reason for American's loss of faith in government is going to restore that faith. Its a joke.
