David Rowe points out Biden’s success in forcing through his stimulus with the help of a successful vaccine rollout.
As noted in his marginal tip-of-the-hat, it’s a take on
W.A. Rogers’ cartoon about Roosevelt, which leaves me wondering if Rowe thinks it’s all such a good thing after all, since the original Big Stick cartoon was about TR’s gunboat diplomacy, with which he assisted Panama in becoming independent from Colombia in order to ram through the US-controlled canal.
TR did a lot of really good things, but most people today shudder over the canal thingie.
