This book is about what really happened during the Biden Administration. Joe Biden implemented progressive policies at home that resulted in high inflation, open borders and historic numbers of illegal immigrants, a weak economy and a dramatic expansion of government. Abroad, Biden's policies of appeasement and weakness resulted in war in Ukraine and the Middle East, an upsurge in terrorism, and increased aggression from Iran, Russia and China.This book shows the extent to which President Biden mimicked and adopted the policies of former President Barack Obama. It was no surprise that the Biden administration resembled the Obama administration as Biden brought in a number of people who played key roles in the Obama administration. Biden got similar but more destructive results as progressives held Biden hostage to their ideals and policies.As Biden ran for a second term, Biden's fitness for office as well as the results of his policies at home and abroad were critical to the decisions to be made by the American public in the 2024 Presidential election. This book gives the information required to make that choice.
