President Biden promised to be straight with the public, but when it comes to the coronavirus, it’s clear that his administration is more interested in gaming expectations.

When asked, as he was announcing a series of executive actions on COVID-19, why he wasn’t being more ambitious than 100 million vaccine doses in 100 days, Biden snapped at a reporter: “When I announced it, you all said it’s not possible. Come on, gimme a break, man!” And then he stormed off without taking any more questions.
