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.

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.

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.

I believe the transcriber didn’t hear correctly Biden more than likely said “Jack” not “fat”. It just got transcribed incorrectly.

That got to me too, I couldn’t 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 she’s just out of the frame of view.

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.

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.

Mon Sep 18, 2023, 05:04 PM

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.
