Missed part of the quote : "according to two people familiar with the exchange."

Guess anonymous sources are back to being acceptable, kinda the mirror image of deficits suddenly mattering again.
And those who accepted those anonymous sources previously have had a sudden about face.

Personally, I don't have a problem with the President of the United States taking the necessary time to make important issues, consult with his advisors, listen to the experts, and not rush into any hasty decisions that could come back to bite him later. It's certainly refreshing compared to his predecessor who couldn't be bothered to read Intelligence reports and had a 92% turnover during his presidency.
Interesting because the last thing I want is a president who cannot make command decisions, there are no perfect solutions, not making a decision is a decision in itself. “A good solution applied with vigor now is better than a perfect solution applied ten minutes later.” General Patton.

AND what I find is funny is that those same people who believed everything that the NYT wrote about Trump now find what they have written about Biden to be so untrue. Talk about inconsistencies.

I can’t speak for others, but as I wrote in my post, I find the article refreshing that we have a Leader who take time, who push his aids, who try to relate a complex policy like climate change would effect truck driver in southern PA.

It’s not about Biden supporter or Trump supporter, my post is about your view.. in one thread you say NYT is not credible, yet you start a thread with their article.

Let me explain it like this for some people it is accurate when it bashes Trump and inaccurate when is critical of Biden, do you see now?

It’s not about others. It’s about you . Either you take NYT as a credible media or you don’t. In past thread, as I pointed out in my post, you say “ NYT is not a credible media”, yet, you start a thread with their article and want to “catch” others for double standard.

I don't see anyone saying the article is inaccurate, just that we don't see what it describes as being a problem. Personally I WANT leaders to think about things in detail and consult widely before making decisions that can effect millions of people.

It's an apparent attempt to "own the libs" and an attempt to accuse liberals of a double standard while clearly exhibiting a double standard. "Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones."

Yet oddly, I'm not seeing anyone disagree with the NYT article you posted.

Or are these "same people" a figment of your imagination Clint?

Imagine that? A chief executive who demands details and then deploys resources to save American lives.

Let us hope it starts a trend.

They might be. And you're entitled to your own view of the matter.

Other people with somewhat different perspectives are entitled to their preferences, too.

What I said was that I would "feel better" if his own grandchildren were not his "his lifeline to popular culture and consumer technology." And yes, I would feel better about it if he chose someone else.

Perhaps his children instead of his grandchildren?

It not about me, Much of what the NYT published about Trump was found to be wrong when all the facts were determined.

I think we all want that but we still have a border crisis and nothing seems to be happening to resolve it, it has been going on since Biden came into office, how long does he need to think it over? He created the problem, maybe he should have used some of that thinking and consulting before he fixed something that was not broken.

I would be more than happy to discuss double standards, there is one example after another of double standards and they almost all come from one side of the debate.

Thinking is for girly-men! Some folks prefer a man who makes his business decisions by the seat of his pants, and judging by the number of mistresses, makes his marital decisions by the front of them.

It was very broken. Keeping kids in cages and splitting them up from their families without even keeping proper records of families was utterly barbaric and bordering on a crime against humanity.

But I know our definitions of 'broken' are very different.

Oh no! Not thinking! Anything but that in the leader of the a superpower!

What we need in the man who holds power over the most powerfull country in the world and its nuclear arsenal is someone who goes by the gut and shoots from the hip.

I'd feel better if his preferred advisors were not his grandchildren, and he did spend a whole day at work.
Says the guy who supports the last president, who got his whole extended family into office in a grand nepotism bonanza and who spent most of his days in front of the TV or golfing.
