(61,033 posts)Anyone who goes by the "sleepy joe" misnomer better watch out if they confront Joe Biden with it as he's still tack sharp and will respond.
And I wish there was some way to make a campaign ad out of this as Joe is fierce in it.

(23,520 posts)like that because I have seen him grow into someone who isn't afraid to fight back over the years.
When was this taken or how to find out.

(61,033 posts)but not that sharp now?
But either way, that was the magat's point, even though he's wrong as Biden is carrying on sharp as ever, still helping Ukraine, rallying NATO, also Japan and S. Korea too, negotiating cheapre drup prices...getting the job done so who cares what magats think.

(82,849 posts)Oh, that's right. Someone like the fellow in the sweater would never get into a Trump town hall because (1) Trump doesn't hold town halls; and (2) If he did, every attendee would be carefully screened and anyone who acted up would be hustled out of the room while Trump denigrated him or her.
Side note: President Biden sounded pretty sharp to me.

Maybe the guys name was Pat. But update, this was in 2020. Im still proud of Joe for coming back at the guy and for everything.

(13,097 posts)I believe the transcriber didnt hear correctly Biden more than likely said Jack not fat. It just got transcribed incorrectly.
That got to me too, I couldnt believe President Biden would call someone that. I watched it a few more times and settled on this. Wish I knew ASL, she was signing up on the stage but when the word is said shes just out of the frame of view.

I sure wish they change the transcription because I think youre probably right. That makes a lot more sense. Hes the opposite of tfg
Thank God in heaven
Emrys
(9,188 posts)not just because it's not like Biden at all, even when riled, but because it's a non sequitur.
It would be interesting to show the clip to some folks for the first time without the subtitles and find out what they heard.

The use of Fat in that moment doesn't make much sense.

(7,865 posts)as the "conversation" went on, how red in the face the guy got? He KNEW he should have kept his mouth shut! But these magats... they just can't do it, can they? They have to open mouth, insert foot, and show the whole world how stupid and cruel they really are... every single time.

(499 posts)I think he handled that situation as well as he did the state of the union address getting repubs to stand up for social security. Though, they also still trying to get rid of it. I hope the press, media shows the full clip.
Also, I have no problem of Press. Biden calling the guy fat. He's probably part of the Meal Team Six Gravy Seals.
My father's nick name from birth was Fatty, born in 1916. He was the chubby twin, his brother was called Skinny. As an adult, all of his extended family, parents, siblings called him Fat. My cousins called him Uncle Fat. He was not a tall man, maybe 5'6", with a wrestlers physic broad shoulders, slim hips, never had pot (beer) belly. It didn't bother him one bit being called Fat. For him it being part of his family.
The same could be true of the fat guy, he is proud to be part of his meal team six.

(23,550 posts)Biden is a cranky old man.
A firm rebuke will get covered as a mean spirited attack.
mahina
(20,689 posts)What are he really said or at least meant to say. Its just not his style.
MadameButterfly
(4,116 posts)because it makes him seem as mean as they are (when of course he isn't). Lot's of people are fat and can't help it and don't deserve to be ridiculed. This man maybe deserved some tough talk but every fat person who hear's this doesn't.
It weakens an otherwise effective response.
This is classic Joe: lot's of witty off the cuff remarks with a gaff mixed in.
It's just gaffs are extra risky right now. Obama had exactly one gaff in 8 years (the supposedly private fundraiser where he talked about conservatives hiding behind guns and religion). His gaff was true, but a political calculation that did damage in the campaign.
Obama had to be perfect because he was Black, and he very nearly was. Biden is under the same level of scrutiny because Republicans keep getting meaner and democracy is at stake. i hope he has people closed to him coaching him on stuff like that.
CrispyQ
(41,034 posts)That was great! That's what's needed when they call Joe out on his fitness or age. If he ever gets a chance to debate Trump he should challenge him to five pushups. Just five, big boy. Come on man!
