Presidents of the United States inherit an office with enormous power … of that everyone agrees.<\/p>\n

However, there are limits to that power. Such as the price of oil and other energy-producing resources. The price of gasoline and other motor vehicles have skyrocketed — again! — in recent weeks. Does the president have as much control over that as critics suggest? No! He damn sure doesn’t.<\/p>\n

Yet the current president, Joe Biden, is paying the price politically for a trend over which he has little control. OPEC nations decided all by themselves to cut oil production by 2 million barrels a day. Someone has to remind me how the president of the United States can control OPEC’s policymakers.<\/p>\n

Joe Biden’s foes are trying make hay out of decisions that are made far from the White House. They are pounding him. I just want the world to know how this blogger feels about the pummeling that Biden is getting. He doesn’t deserve it.<\/p>\n

Having stated that here, I am acutely aware it won’t stop the non-stop — and unfair — criticism he is getting.<\/p>\n

It’s part of the political game Joe Biden entered all those decades ago.<\/p>\n
