Biden was very good today at the press conference, however, when he wasn't looking at his notes,

[JohnSJ]

and what looked like going off script, he was superb

[Srkdqltr]

1. Petty, petty.

At least his suit wasn't tan.

[JohnSJ]

2. Talk about petty

[samsingh]

15. You are right JohnSJ

[JohnSJ]

17. Thanks Sam. I was just giving my impression of it.

[Leghorn21]

3. Ha ha, good point, John!!

SUPERB!!

[Ocelot II]

4. Of course he looked at his notes; why have them if you're not going to look at them?

Or would you rather pick on him for using a teleprompter if he'd done that?

[Kaleva]

5. Read the OP again. You misunderstood what was said.

[Ocelot II]

7. I guess I read it as 'when he wasn't looking at his notes he was superb.'

[Kaleva]

8. freepers said before Biden can't respond to questions w/o looking at notes.

That his mind is so far gone. In this press conference, Biden proved that to be a lie..

[Ocelot II]

9. Yes, he did. About the only time he looked as his notes was when

he was checking to see which reporter to call on next. He did a great job. Of course the wingnuts will claim he was wearing an earpiece through which he was being told what to say, but fuck them anyhow.

[scarytomcat]

10. You mean like W did?

[Eyeball_Kid]

20. We're not used to watching a prez who is deliberate, informed, and confident. n/t

[JohnSJ]

11. The notes are fine, I just really enjoy Joe when speaks extemporaneously

[marble falls]

6. Getting off the set pieces is where he ripped the exPresident* a totally new one in the debates.

... Joe's pretty darn good on his feet; maybe better, like you said, than with a script.

[JohnSJ]

13. That is exactly what I was trying to say, but you expressed it better than I

The ridiculous reporter that implied he somehow must approve of the way things are going on at the border because he hasn’t fixed it he was excellent

[Drunken Irishman]

12. I like when he goes off script a bit. He's more human that way.

Unlike the Orange Doofus who goes off script and tells America to inject bleach.

[JohnSJ]

14. Yes, exactly

[samsingh]

16. You gave Biden a fantastic complement - i don't understand why so many people are confused!

[PutGramaOnThePhone]

21. Exactly!

I’m confused by the strange vibe in this thread. I appreciate the OP compliment to the Prez, through a little bit of witty word smithing.

[Ocelot II]

23. Because the OP wasn't clearly written.

It reads more like a criticism that Biden was reading from his notes, and not clearly as a compliment for his ability to speak without them.

[Joinfortmill]

18. Yup.

[Ka-Dinh Oy]

19. Oh, come on people!!

I miss seeing a president campaigning himself everytime he is in front of the camera.

[johnthewoodworker]

22. What will the Republican/Nazi's out of the conference use to lie about dementia?

[coolhandlulu]

24. He was superb...

Although a law must be passed that obligates him to respond to at least one reporter during a press conference with the phrase, “Just shut up, man! You know that’s a bunch of malarkey.”
