First lady Jill Biden on Saturday voiced frustration about the stalled progress of President Joe Biden's tenure in the White House during a private Democratic National Committee fundraiser.

From the article [ note: @PNWest comments in RED]:
The first lady said during the event in Nantucket, Massachusetts, that her husband has been consistently challenged by unanticipated crises while in office, placing blame on global woes. Biden's remarks came as the President's job approval rating stands at 33% according to a recent New York Times and Siena College poll, which also noted just 13% of Americans say the country is heading in the right direction.
"[The President] had so many hopes and plans for things he wanted to do, but every time you turned around, he had to address the problems of the moment," said Biden, speaking to about two dozen attendees at a private home on the popular vacation island off the coast of Massachusetts. [Wow, who would have thought that being President would require a leader to handle unexpected problems?]
...
On the domestic front, Biden noted gun violence, the Supreme Court's momentous decision on Roe v. Wade and the war in Ukraine as problems the President did not anticipate.
"He's just had so many things thrown his way," she said. "Who would have ever thought about what happened [with the Supreme Court overturning] Roe v Wade? [duh... maybe everyone that lives in the USA] Well, maybe we saw it coming, but still we didn't believe it. The gun violence in this country is absolutely appalling. [of course gun violence has been a major issue since JFK wen to Dallas 59 years ago] We didn't see the war in Ukraine coming."
...
The first lady shared her frustration about the overturning last month of Roe v. Wade, which ended the federal constitutional right to an abortion. Biden added that while she supported the right to protest, being angry about the decision, in her opinion, is not enough -- contradicting the President's remarks last week, where he encouraged women to "keep protesting," adding protesting is "critically important."
Biden said she told her own family members they should think about doing more than protesting.
"So many young girls, my own grandchildren included, went up to the Supreme Court and marched. I say, 'Okay, good for you. But what are you going to do next? You feel good about yourself because you voiced your opinion but what are you going to do next? What is your plan?'" [yes - she's married to the President of the United States but demanding that her granddaughters do something about abortion and asking them what their plan is. Hey Jill - here's an idea ask your husband what his plan is]

Here's an idea for the First Lady - If the job is too tough for your husband maybe it is time for him to retire.
