Summary
What the hell happened in 2022? Joe Biden is midway through his presidency, and he has delivered both good and bad policy. The bad may outweigh the good … record inflation, growing divisions among Americans, skyrocketing gas prices, an unconstitutional grab for trillions to forgive student loans, and the list continues. But his presidency has not been without accomplishments either, from the invitation of Finland and Sweden to join NATO, to declaring U.S. policy to defend Taiwan, to handling China’s semiconductor industry. What made both lists? Ukraine: his rallying of allies to save Ukraine, but often too little, too late.
In this week’s New Year’s episode, Marc and Dany discuss Marc’s Washington Post lists on the top ten best and worst things the president did this year.

| 0:53.7 | We're talking about |
| 0:54.9 | the best and worst things that Joe Biden did in the previous year. So every year, I write a column for |
| 1:01.4 | the Washington Post, actually two columns, one listing all the best things that the president did in |
| 1:05.7 | the previous year and one listing all the worst things. I started it under Trump because basically |
| 1:10.4 | I was looking for a way to |
| 1:11.8 | not work during Christmas week and find something I could write early so you'd have it in the can. |
| 1:16.1 | And it ended up being the most popular columns I did at the Washington Post. And I kept the tradition |
| 1:20.9 | going up for Joe Biden. The negative things were quite obvious. The good things, it took a little |
