Dealing with inflation is not the President's job, it's the job of the Federal Reserve. Unfairly, the sitting president gets blamed for any inflation.

I do not agree that Biden did not play the part of President well. He did everything we ask of a president. He provided leadership. He worked with Congress,and the opposition and he got meaningful legislation passed. I believe Biden was unable to communicate the scope and effectiveness of his policies. This seems to be a common problem for the Democrats: They don't communicate their successes as well as the Republicans do.
I agree with Sarah Longwell's telling of it: Being able to communicate to the American people IS the job of the Presidency. Maybe the most important job. Most everything else (outside of foreign policy) requires Congress, the States, or (as you said) the Federal Reserve.
Communication is the #1 most important job, and Biden was the worst at it.
Like it or not POTUS gets blamed for every thing. How many times did you see the effin Biden sticker at a gas pump showing him pointing and sayin "I did that!"
Got to love how those disappeared on the pumps here in GA as gas settled around $3/gal or lower the last couple years. Blamed for the high prices but also no credit for the low prices.

Communicating well is part of the job, and he didn't do that well unless he was scripted. He was never a good communicator as a politician.
