Bob Woodward’s latest literary masterpiece, titled “War,” unveils the chaotic inner workings of the Biden White House. It’s a mix of reality that many conservative Americans have been keenly aware of during the past years of this administration. The book presents a rather unflattering portrait of the President as a disgruntled elder who perpetually feels slighted, not only by world leaders but also by the ghosts of Democrats past, including Barack Obama. The image painted is that of a man who has yet to accomplish anything noteworthy but somehow manages to carry an air of arrogance.
In the chronicles of Biden’s private conversations, he has been recorded spewing unoriginal venom at his predecessor Donald Trump, referring to him in less-than-pleasant terms. Not content with that, Biden even goes so far as to lash out at Obama’s decision-making, particularly regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine, positioning himself as the unhappy critic who feels overshadowed by leaders who actually had impact during their tenures. It’s evident from all this that Biden’s bitterness is rooted in political divides and a perceived lack of acknowledgment from those who don’t bow down to his whims.
Biden Takes a Blowtorch to Obama in New Book

The narrative becomes hilariously weak when one takes stock of how Biden’s clash-prone nature isn’t solely reserved for his Republican counterpart. His simmering ire extends to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and in a fashion that suggests he missed the memo on diplomacy. Biden has shared his disdain in explicit terms while simultaneously trying to maintain public support for Israel. One has to wonder if he believes harsh insults somehow strengthen alliances, which seems to be a lesson lost on him throughout his political history.
Of course, one of the most amusing elements of the Biden saga lies in the utter dysfunction displayed during conversations about complicated foreign policy matters. Some reports suggest Biden practically pleaded with Netanyahu to explain a coherent strategy amid escalating tensions. Yet, while Biden attempts to direct international relations, he fails to provide any semblance of guidance himself. This leads to moments where he essentially ends up saying “Do nothing” to a foreign leader, while those paying attention realize that doing nothing is a typical hallmark of Biden’s governance—paralyzed by inexperience and a deep-seated need for validation.
Biden’s government hasn’t exactly been a shining example of competence either. The fallout from the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal remains a stain that he cannot wash away. Even among his peers, he seems trapped in a cycle of second-guessing his choices while trying to divert blame to his predecessors. The comfort in bantering about the shortcomings of others, especially Obama, only highlights the extent to which Biden struggles to keep his own house in order. The criticisms leveled towards Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding the legal troubles of his son Hunter provide a comical touch; clearly, casting stones is a great pastime while navigating one’s own family’s alleged misdeeds.
While Biden’s incompetence throws America’s standing in the world into disarray, the real question remains whether he is even remotely aware of how poorly he is performing. With young voters increasingly dissatisfied due to global conflicts that slip through his fingers, the Biden administration reflects a long-standing tradition of political blunders. His crusade against Obama doesn’t just appear petty; it seems revealing of Biden’s own inadequacies as a leader. To summarize this governmental tenure: it’s a gaffe-ridden comedy at the expense of national security, effectively leaving the question posed by many: where did we go wrong? The answer might just rest with the fumbling hands of “Grandpa Joe.”
