Biden embraces order and routine in his first week. How will that fit this moment of crisis?

Almost every day of his young tenure, President Biden has entered the State Dining Room, a portrait of Abraham Lincoln looking down and wood burning in the fireplace. He speaks on the planned topic of the day. He sits at an undersized desk and searches for a pen to sign his latest stack of executive orders. Within 30 minutes of entering the camera’s frame, he has left it.

It is all plotted and planned. Little room is left for the unscripted or the unusual.

Biden’s first full week in office has showcased an almost jarring departure from his predecessor’s chaotic style, providing the first window into a tenure whose mission is not only to remake the White House in Biden’s image but also to return the presidency itself to what he sees as its rightful path.

The result so far is a 9-to-5 presidency — a tightly scripted burst of activity that was charted over the past few months, as Biden seeks to avoid heated conflict and stick to his plan of lowering the political temperature to a level that many Americans can tune out.

No more early morning "executive time" where the POTUS spends the first hours of the morning on the couch watching FUX Noise.

Biden is in office for a week and the fact that he's well prepared and organized is being treated as weird and counterproductive.

When everything is in place and everyone is focused, it's much easier to deal with crises that arise. We have had enough of clusterf*ck governing.
