The curtains were pulled back on White House orchestrations as the contents of a Biden cheat sheet were publicly revealed.
Questions about President Joe Biden’s fitness for office have been near-constant throughout his administration, and last week showed how his handlers have done him no favors in allaying concerns.
On Wednesday, as Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was welcomed for an official state dinner and to reaffirm the alliance between his nation and the United States, he and Biden participated in a joint press conference from the Rose Garden in the white house
The thinly veiled spectacle that followed his remarks, as the president struggled to realize that it was up to him to ask a reporter to ask him a question, was summarily torn apart as a picture revealed the details of a used cheat sheet that was indicated. four correspondents had been shortlisted for the event.
Criticized by some as resembling a “kindergarten worksheet,” the notecard that was hidden after the press conference was revealed to include the names and pictures of four journalists listed as USA Today White House Correspondent Joey Garrison, PBS Correspondent Laura Barrón. -López, Channel 10 Australia’s political editor Ashleigh Raper and The Australian’s Jeff Chambers.
They were the four journalists summoned.

Before the big reveal, neither Biden nor his staff had done much to cover up the sham as he made his way to call Barrón-López, who already had someone ready to hand him a microphone when the president realized: ” Oh, I see. ask,” and looked at his cheat sheet.

The display of theater wasn’t the first time the president has been caught being led through the motions, and it added some level of understanding to Vice President Kamala Harris’s sentiment of the need to remind the public that Biden “is very alive” during a recent interview “60 minutes”.
Along with some more embarrassing notes that had provided him with greeting and seating instructions for other meetings, Biden’s joint news conference with South Korean President Yoon Suk Ye had run like a production similar to Wednesday’s.
However, along with the picture and name of Los Angeles Times reporter Courtney Subramanian, staff in April had seen fit to include a breakdown of how to pronounce her name correctly, as well as provide Biden with a summary of the expected question from the identified correspondent. as in “Question #1”.

Unlike the press conference in April, it was not easy to tell whether the president had wondered about the questions Barrón-López would ask when he raised his concerns about the integrity of the election and then raised the number of deaths reported in “Hamas-controlled Gaza”. Ministry of Health” to question whether or not Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was ignoring requests “to minimize civilian casualties.”
To the latter, Biden claimed: “I have no idea that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are being killed. I’m sure innocents have been killed, and that’s the price of waging war,” before encouraging Israel to “be incredibly careful to make sure they’re focusing on going after the people who are … propagating this war against Israel. And it’s against their interests when that doesn’t happen.”
Despite his lucidity in this response, the enduring reputation of gaffes and the documented need to be guided led to widespread criticism of the need to cure questions.
