Who am I? Why am I here?

ADDED: It makes one long wistfully for the days when a President looked foolish because he couldn't find an open door:

Obama is a low class dick. We are in some deep shit with these people in charge, or not in charge.

Iman म्हणाले...

I watched this sad spectacle… it was as if all in attendance had earlier agreed to go out of their way to make an obvious snub of Biden… even Biden himself. He has been cut loose… jettisoned…

I felt sorry for him… even more sorrow for our country. What a shambles.

michaele म्हणाले...

Kamala sure wasn't giving up her position next to the popular guy. The old white man was on the outs.

jaydub म्हणाले...

It would be sad and pathetic were Slow Joe not such an odious politician and if Obama hadn't warned us not to underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up. This is what the media and the Democrat apparatchiks manufactured, and it's what Joe deserves for putting the country through this travesty. Obama's WH visit didn't just fully expose Joe's mental state, it likely sealed Joe's fate.

Lucien म्हणाले...

So Obama tried to resuscitate the Biden presidency by sucking up all the oxygen in the room.

Sounds like Obama to me.

Humperdink म्हणाले...

What that brief video tells the world, as everyone didn't know already, is that Biden is nothing more than a potted plant in this administration.

wendybar म्हणाले...

And the Messiah returns to me,me,me,me,me,me,mem....I,I,I,I,I, and cry about how terrible Repubicans are to be upset that he fucked up our healthcare to give us Obamacare which tripled our prices, when he promised that we would save $2500. and it wouldn't cost us one dime more. He is pathetic, and so are all the lemmings there surrounding him like he is their king. Embarrassing, to say the least.

Maybe Corn Pop and Big Momma are pulling Biden's strings.

mezzrow म्हणाले...

When you want something as much as Joe wanted to the the boss, you don't notice the snub.

You're the most powerful man in the world, after all. We don't begin to understand what it is like having that kind of power, right? Barack understands what it's like.

It's all part of the plan, and they haven't told Joe what HIS part of the plan is yet. Just wait, it'll be genius.

Still, it's as uncomfortable as watching Charles Grodin look at Cybill Shepherd the first time in the Heartbreak Kid. That's how much the heart wants what it wants. Watch Kamala.

It's a cookbook:

"They" finally put into the record that Hunter's laptop was real.

"They" all of a sudden want us to see Biden as he is.

"They" didn't want us to notice before . . .

Rollo म्हणाले...

Obama seems as clueless as Biden, but in a different way. It's not senility he suffers from but egotism, some would say narcissism. This shows Obama was and is top dog among Democrats.

That doesn't mean that he is the puppetmaster running things behind the scenes. You leave out other possible explanations if you jump to that conclusion. I'd say that what happened indicates that Obama isn't in charge now and therefore escapes responsibility for the current mess.

People get Biden everyday on television. It's not surprising that people who actually get him in person everyday don't want more of him and aren't going to rush to shake his hand.

tim maguire म्हणाले...

What is wrong with Biden's staff? How could none of them have seen this? How hard would it be to round up a group of interns to run out there and act excited to interact with the president? Sure, Joe's a pathetic demented old coot, but you'd think the people who managed to sneak him into the Oval Office could act like they know what they're doing.

RigelDog म्हणाले...

I can hate everything that a person has done and still have pity for them. Biden is pitiful and each day it's hard to believe that half of the country is pretending he's just fine.

Kamala looks happier than I've ever seen her; her joy is palpable.

Obama is such a dick.

gspencer म्हणाले...

"Excuse me, Barry, but where's the ice cream table?"

Howard म्हणाले...

Yeah, it's sad how much people still buy into the charm of Obama.

Jefferson's Revenge म्हणाले...

Leland saw what I saw. Kamala looked very very comfortable and it appeared to me that Obama wanted her involved. Was this the beginning of the transfer of figurehead power from Biden to Harris? Sure looks like one of the Kremlin photos in which analysts tried to determine the power structure by where everyone was sitting and standing. Not a lot of power in Joe's positioning. Much more so with Harris.

Jaq म्हणाले...

If the Biden clan lived in a trailer park, their neighbors would have burned them out by now. All he needs is the pervert walker from Family Guy.

Gunner म्हणाले...

This is the best proof that Biden has dementia because every husband knows that in a situation like this, the man just goes to his wife to pretend to have a conversation.

Amexpat म्हणाले...

It reminds when Clinton joined then President Obama at a joint press conference. At the end Clinton didn't want to leave. He was so into it that he ignored Obama's cue to leave. Obama laughed it off and left, making Clinton look foolish.

Oh Yea म्हणाले...

Can you image being overshadow now by the person who showed weakness in Ukraine in 2014 and gave us his red line in Syria that put the world in its current situation.

wendybar म्हणाले...

He had his hand on Baracks shoulders, and seemed like he was trying to say something, but The Won, ignored him, and garnered hugs and pats on the back from all of his admirers who were fighting through the crowd...just so they could once again TOUCH him. I wonder if they get tingles down their legs still??? Poor Joe was left behind...just like they are publicly going to do to him soon, and pass the torch to the idiot prancing around with the Won, grinning (and probably hysterically laughing) like she won the lottery.

Yancey Ward म्हणाले...

Those videos were fucking hilarious. Pity for Joe "Shit For Brains" Biden?- not one fucking bit. No pity for him, and no fucking pity for his family. You don't run for President in Biden's mental state- you don't allow him to run for President in his mental state- and you don't fucking vote for him either. Every one who encouraged him to run, allowed him to run, and who voted for him in the primaries and in the general election are to blame for the present state of the world right now. A potted plant would make a better president.

The Democrats are going to replace Biden, and probably before the coming mid-term elections- the recent spate of Hunter Biden stories are a tell, but Obama's visit and deliberate snub of Biden is the confirmation. I wrote here over 18 months ago that the Hunter Biden laptop wouldn't be disappeared forever- it would be held in reserve by someone in the Justice Department for the moment Joe Biden is discarded by the Democrats. That prediction is looking pretty fucking good right now.

Meade म्हणाले...

Obama the ex president needed to get in and out quickly while the getting was good. Durham investigation into Hillary campaign illegalities and the investigations into Biden Family corruption are all about to drop. Obama will want to be safely ensconced in his Hawaii/Massachusetts mansions when they do.

Yes, you'd think any competent staff would have recognized that something like this could happen and made it clear to Obama that he was there to support Biden. Either Obama didn't listen or the staff is that incompetent.

JK Brown म्हणाले...

Biden's staff should be fired. Their job is to ensure that he never looks like this. Doesn't matter if he's mentally out of it or not, you never let your boss appear to be "out".

True although the people who ran Obama may really be the ones pulling the strings. I could never accept that Obama was a smart guy running things. He was always the front man, immune to criticism because RACISM!

We already know about the dotard. What about Obama's behavior? He's laying it on a bit thick, isn't he? Such an obvious, distasteful, gloating display from someone who thinks of himself as the Alpha Male returning to the pride and pushing the present Office Holder to the side by simply ignoring him.

Andrew म्हणाले...

Couldn't the staff hire the child actors who were so excited to hear from Kamala about the joys of using a telescope?

But then he might have started rubbing their hair and carressing their arms, or worse.

This is truly sad and pathetic. I've noticed many people commenting on Twitter, including supporters, saying that Biden reminds them of a family member with dementia. "My dad wanders around just like that." Of course, that was true way back in the primaries. But the party, and his family, still enabled him.

And it shows the cruelty and ice-coldness of both Obama and Kamala. It reminds me of high school. The unpopular kid thought the cool kids were his friends, but once they're in a crowd, they don't really know him.

JK and Rollo,

The staff, I believe, did exactly what they were told to do- nothing more and nothing less. The entire event seemed a deliberate snub by Obama and everyone else in those rooms. It was orchestrated to send a clear message.

Andrew म्हणाले...

Also, the first clip from that Tucker video is especially poignant, with the string quartet playing "God Bless America" in the background. Someone online said it's like the scene from the Titanic - the music still plays, but the ship is sinking. Maybe Joe is the only one who knows it, ironically enough.

see? you're both making, The Same Mistake. You're thinking that the White House Staff works for Biden
They Do NOT, they work for the Democrat Party. To think that Jo Biden has a 'staff' is to go down the path to thinking that Jo Biden is, somehow; "In Charge" of Anything.
The man isn't even a figurehead.. He's an figurative representation of a figurehead. Take the earphone out, and ask him some questions*, and find out

some questions*
What year is this? What city are you in? Can you name animals whose names start with the letter B?

Temujin म्हणाले...

There's a difference between having the ability to be self-deprecating and being so mentally spent that you cannot fathom your surroundings, nor summon the mental strength to figure out what to do about it.

Those who foisted Biden and Harris on us, and on the rest of the world, need to be held accountable. Those who did not see this in the two year run up to the election were living in denial and were filled with so much overwrought hate for Trump that they chose danger for the world over Trump for another four years. And told themselves, as if to soften the inevitable disaster, that they were doing this 'for the world'.

Such arrogance. Such bullshit. Anyone believe that 81 million people voted for this man, knowing what we all knew then? What we witness in the videos of The Preener Himself ignoring Joe as he fumbled about, tells you all you need to know about both men. It was sad, pitiful, and mean. Not to mention, horrifyingly dangerous for all of us.

After Joe introduced himself as Barack Obama's vice-president, and Jill Biden's husband, he explained that she was teaching a class, and couldn't attend.

I commented here that Biden had dementia, starting over a year before the last election. I did so because I've seen several relatives suffer from it in one form or another, and recognized the symptoms in the aged politician. I wasn't the only one doing so.

Everyone knew then. Everyone knows now. What will be done about it?

Chris Lopes म्हणाले...

Obama was just being the narcissistic asshole he always was. It's always and forever about him. So ignoring the guy he was there to support is quite in character.

Biden's handlers should have known better. Looking at the video, he could have been the White House grounds keeper for all anyone could tell. Which brings to mind the question, if his staff were secretly working for Trump, what would they be doing different?

gilbar म्हणाले...

i disagree with Most of what Tulsi supports.. But i could STILL support her; unlike Every Other Democrat
If She were President, i truly feel that she would be listening to the America people, and if something was opposed by 70% of the people, she'd be opposed too

There is a scene in The King's Speech when the elder king, Bertie's father, complains that kings must do radio addresses at all. He longs for earlier times when monarchs were more remote and less familiar to their subjects.

I think some of the contempt we feel for our leaders comes from seeing and hearing them too much. They are too familiar, too painfully human. I'd prefer a president who is boring and mostly invisible.

Is that Kamala's hand on Baracky's shoulder toward the end of the clip? It's like she was trying to freeze Slow Joe out. Keep Slow Joe from entering her circle of friends.

Biden was always empty, stupid, and vicious. Remember when he told a black audience that the GOP would put them back in chains? Remember how he crapped on Clarence Thomas and Robert Bork? His whole career was cheap shots and lies.

No, Joe has had this coming for a long time. Any tears I shed for Dopey Joe would be fake.

Readering म्हणाले...

81 million voted for him, including me. No enthusiasm, for sure, but the other guy exhibited long covid so not much of a decision in the end. I got the guy I expected and avoided the guy who has turned out even worse than I expected. Let's see who declined how much from here. Biden running the country or Trump running his mouth about 2020 in front of his MAGA cult.

Lurker21 म्हणाले...

Presidents and vice presidents have long had rocky relationships. FDR kept Truman in the dark about everything. Eisenhower pretty much sank Nixon's prospects with his comment about Nixon's achievements as VP. Johnson had contempt for Humphrey. No love was lost between Reagan and Bush. The assumption seems to be that Veeps should be seen and not heard, and Obama still thinks of Biden as second string.

Instead of applauding the fact that he signed an executive order to make it easier for about 200,000 families to obtain healthcare, Republicans post this ridiculous clip.

People remember being told "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. If you like your health care you can keep your health care," and then losing their doctor or their healthcare. It's only natural that they wonder now about who is going to lose what in this latest reshuffle of health care.

Trump brought the highest employment in years, and all we got from the media was nonsense about Russia or about his getting two scoops of dessert. Now Biden's in office and he ought to be able to take a little scrutiny of how well he's holding up.

Let's see who declined how much from here. Biden running the country or Trump running his mouth about 2020 in front of his MAGA cult.

Obviously, Biden managed to get power and the White House, but is he really running the country? And whoever is running the country now, how well are they running it? Wasn't Biden's decline over the last few decades clearly visible? I don't know if he's gotten worse in the last year -- though many suspect he has -- but clearly he isn't what he once was (and what he once was wasn't much either). Just saying "Hey, we won (by hook or by crook)," isn't much of an argument.

“Instead of applauding the fact that he signed an executive order to make it easier for about 200,000 families to obtain healthcare, Republicans post this ridiculous clip.”

How does the healthcare bill relate to this clip? Is it that if you applaud the healthcare bill (I don’t) then this clip: A) Isn’t relevant? B) Isn’t real? C) Didn’t happen? Following your logic, any “good” thing Biden does is reason to ignore all his instances of flaming incompetence. Got it.

TFG has been "sundowning" for a long time.

As the sun begins to set, have you noticed changes in a someone’s behavior? For those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, it’s not uncommon to experience unpredictable agitation and confusion during this time of day.

Sundowner’s syndrome, also called sundowning or late-day confusion, is a group of symptoms that occur in someone with memory loss that can start around late afternoon and continue into the night. It can cause increased confusion, disorientation, anxiety, agitation, pacing and even wandering.

Easier to get if you are a millionaire. My policy has tripled in price and I get less services. Obamacare sucks. Obama sucks and Progressives suck. The only ones that they are helping are the illegals, who should NOT be getting free healthcare in America...they need to be sent home. I am glad Governor Abbott is going to start busing them to DC. That's where they belong...as well as at the mansions of Obama, Pelosi, Schumer and all the other open border activists.

You can't blame Fox for reporting the truth about your precious Obamacare.
It sucks.

https://money.cnn.com/2016/11/04/news/economy/obamacare-affordable/index.html
"For the 85% of enrollees with lower incomes, federal subsidies make the premiums somewhat more affordable. Those even closer to the poverty line can get additional subsidies that reduce the deductibles, which can run into the thousands of dollars.

But for many middle class Americans -- a single person earning more than $47,520 or a family of four with an income of $97,200 -- the pricey premiums and deductibles mean health care coverage remains out of reach."
