Do you consider either complicity or slavish devotion as strong positions? President Biden has learned a few things from Obama (yes, I realize that you despise him, but that is irrelevant). One is to trust the experts at intelligence -- that is, the CIA.I think Putin is taking full advantage of Biden being in office myself. Putin knows that Biden isn't up to the task and he knows Biden is in no condition to lead the world during war. I hope one of the other European leaders are able to step up and take his place in that role. So, how much lower can Biden sink in the polls before he completely loses power over the country? As far as Obama, Obama showed me that he was a loyal Democrat and mainly interested in getting reelected and that's about it. I didn't think much of Obama as a leader but I didn't despise him at the time. I don't care about what happens to him today anymore than you care about what happens to Trump or your old nemesis GW.
Your side decided first that Donald Trump was the right nominee despite all the warning signs -- no loyalty to any but himself, a disdain for ethical principles, a perverse idea of what the Presidency is (a hint: our President does not have dictatorial or despotic powers), and an adoration for tyrants. how often must I tell you that the next effective conservative President will act much more like Obama than like Trump. Obama never left any question of where his loyalties lay... a hint: at that he was indistinguishable from Ronald Reagan.
