“Excellent”?? No. Sorry. Circle-back Psaki was mediocrity personified.

She is a communications specialist. Or, at least, that is what she is supposed to be. And, she is unable to communicate effectively.
She is the face of this WH. When a WH spokesperson cannot effectively articulate the domestic and foreign policy positions of the administration, then that person is not doing her job.
And, when she comes up with totally lame reasons to excuse away statements by the president, it shows how truly weak she is.

I dont see a problem with her response.....his statement was "“The pandemic is over,” Biden said in a “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday night. “We still have a problem with Covid. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over.”.

Schools are back and open. Business are open. Everything is open. Work still needs to be done on vaccines, updating test requirements, high risk areas, etc. but honestly, any work done should not be solely focused on COVID, it needs to be focused on our PH infrastructure and response for the next one because there will be a next one.

COVID is manageable. Long-term COVID will likely take years to study. Those of us who have never had it will likely need to enter some sort of research study (myself, my DH, and my son have not had it, that we know of and my son is still not vaccinated but his first shot is this month).

First of all.... "this president" has done nothing to tame the pandemic. He was gifted vaccines upon his entry to office. That has more to do with diminishing the pandemic than anything he has done.

Secondly.... if the pandemic is over as Biden stated, then the emergency orders should all go away. No more vaccine mandates (that shouldn't have been imposed to begin with). All the military members, teachers, truck drivers, nurses, etc.... who lost their jobs because of unnecessary mandates should be given their jobs back with back pay. No more mask mandates for children. No more spending on pandemic measures. And, no college loan forgiveness (redistribution). He can't have it both ways. The pandemic can't both be over and at the same time dole out money because of the pandemic.

I dont think they are saying he did and I certainly didnt give him unilateral credit. But he has been in office for almost 2 years and the pandemic started in late 2019/early 2020. Trump had 1 year of COVID and Biden has had almost 2 years of dealing with COVID, vaccine rollout, post-pandemic fallout, etc.

Vaccines were required to keep COVID at manageable levels. No you dont get back pay. You get the shot or get another job. Every employment is at will- just how Republicans like it.

There are no mask mandates for children- it is business dependent. My preschool is one of the most strict I know in the area and masks are optional. If some states are encouraging mask mandates in their state buildings, its a states issue. College loan forgiveness has nothing to do with the pandemic. There was a stay on no interest because of the pandemic, which expires at the end of this year. College loan forgiveness was a campaign promise and has been a forefront issue for years.

Hate to break it to you.... but you are terribly uninformed. I know you consider yourself "on top of the news." But you aren't.

The Biden administration has imposed a mask mandate for Headstart students and teachers. As of now, the mandate for teachers has been struck down by a competent judge, but you can bet this administration will fight to keep it. The mandate for students is still intact.

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/3653808-federal-judge-strikes-down-biden-administrations-head-start-vaccine-mask-mandate/

A federal judge in Louisiana on Wednesday struck down a mandate from the Biden administration that required staffers at Head Start child care facilities to be vaccinated and to wear masks.
U.S. District Judge Terry A. Doughty issued a permanent injunction against federal agencies enforcing Head Start vaccine and masking requirements.
In his ruling, Doughty found that the plaintiffs had satisfied the requirements to warrant a permanent injunction. He ruled that the plaintiffs — a group of Head Start teachers from across the country along with several state governments — faced a “substantial threat of irreparable injury” if the mandate wasn’t taken down.
“Plaintiff States will incur the increased cost of training and of enforcing the Head Start Mandate, will be unable to enforce their laws, and will have their police power encroached. The Court finds that this would be an irreparable injury,” Doughty wrote.
In November, the Office of Head Start, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Administration for Children and Families issued a rule requiring universal masking for all children and staff at Head Start facilities over the age of 2. Adult staff members were also required to get immunized against COVID-19, with weekly testing required for those who were exempt from vaccinations.

And, you say the loan redistribution plan has nothing to do with Covid. You are so wrong. Biden cited the pandemic as the reason for the loan "forgiveness."

The Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students Act of 2003, Pub. L. No. 108-76, 117 Stat. 904, grants the Secretary of Education authority to reduce or eliminate the obligation to repay the principal balance of federal student loan debt, including on a class-wide basis in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, provided all other require- ments of the statute are satisfied.

As ONE of the reasons. see the word including.

You also cherry pick your statements: "The masking requirement for Head Start grant recipients is one of the only remaining federal mask mandates. Last week, HHS announced it would be dropping the requirement in the near future to align with current guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)."

Furthermore, HS teachers can either get vaccinated or get tested weekly. They have options.

And, I said ALL mandates need to be halted now.
Requiring masks or vaccines or testing is still a mandate.
If the pandemic is over, enough with useless mandates and no more "free" money.

DP. The PP is correct. No need to take her incompetence personally. Unless you are also incompetent…

Where does it indicate it is personal? KJP seems nice enough but totally incompetent. She is the freakin’ WH Press Secretary. That is a huge job. Sorry to state the obvious that she does not possess the skills for the job.

I'm not sure what to make of KJP. I would say, at a minimum, she is ineffective at her job - but is this a function of the administration of itself?

I'll say this - when she speaks I am not seeing confident communications on behalf of the Biden administration (and i'm a dem who will continue to vote dem).

To be honest, like all else in this country, Press Secretary communications has all been downhill since Obama left office.

Josh Earnest was a really fantastic press secretary. I have not seen anyone as good as him since he held the job (and tbh Josh was much better than man others who came before him).

[Anonymous]

Has there ever been a really good press secretary?

To me, they’re all (at best) mediocre professionals with political connections that help land them the job. They bumble about for a couple of years before using the job as a springboard to an overpaid career in communications or consulting.

Criticism of Queen KJP is klan-ish level racism.

Are you serious? Any criticism of KJP's "skill" is just like burning crosses to terrify black families?

Is she from the mid west? This is common there.

No, it’s not.

Alternative theory: Psaki came across as too good, and outshined Biden.

Lol…..that’s an insanely low bar you’ve set.

Same behavior different form. Keep certain groups “where they belong.” We see you.

I think we are in agreement. I was addressing the bolded PP, who seems to be taking criticism of KJP personally.

DP. Yep. Any criticism of a POC in general is considered "racism," according to LWNJs.

I see you don’t understand the importance of representation. You have a lot of work to do.
