A lot of the Obama gaffes are because Obama just isn't very intelligent……..

The "leader of the free world" admitting he is a puppet is pretty big. CNN finally calling him on it was surprising.
But like I said, I think that was the first pivot to Kamala we've been waiting on

Admitting he is only allowed to call on certain people in the press pool.
Saying he is going to be in trouble if he can't find his mask.
Not being allowed to answer off the cuff questions without talking to his aides first because he might say something wrong.
The guy is a puppet. Not a leader. He answers to other people.

No, that is not quite right. Because his time in the presser is limited he has a list prepared ahead of time so he can remember to call on the major players in the press pool (so they don't get overlooked in favor of someone with a press pass from Podunk News). He is probably involved in that process and I doubt that he is told who he is only allowed to call.
And it seems when he is not wearing a mask it always seems to make headlines (and is posted in this forum) so yeah he would be in trouble.
I didn't see him consulting his aides before answering in the press summit presser.

Don't care. He could run around the WH in his underwear and I wouldn't care. If the Republicans are upset he's doing the job I voted for him to do.

he might actually do this though, there was that story of him swimming naked at home in front of female secret service agents.

In Trump's last 18 months or so, on the rare occasions where he had a press conference Trump either refused to take questions from the press or would only take them from certain members of the press.
You guys are accusing Biden of the same things Trump was doing

Really looking at the Presidents their main job seems to be a lighting rod for the other political party to complain about. Don't really have that much effect on most people's day to day life.

He doesn't lead. His actions are those of a man who isn't in control of the room.
But from your reply, it appears he is too dumb to remember who to call on. Could get in trouble from the guys on the FBG politics board and he doesn't need to consult his aides mid presser after they already briefed him and coordinated the questions.... so I guess that's something to hang your hat on.

A little over the line, but not typical of Max. He's usually polite and is one of the Trump fans who speaks from the heart and does not just try and troll. I'll let it slide this time.

He really should hold a presser without pre-designed questions and questioners. could put to sleep the mental decline angle. edit: i don't think his aides will allow this though.

You have no idea how he runs his government. You have no idea whether or how he leads. You are just making assumptions based on your bias opinion and erroneous data points (his demeanour in the press room).

Trump’s press conferences were absolute train wrecks. Look no further than his daily covid briefings that were equal parts cringey and frightening.

I would say Biden gets a pass for mumbling or mispeaks until he recommends drinking bleach. At that point we just have to hand over the reigns to Kamala.

I mean perception is reality right? I see a man who doesn't command a room. A guy who admits behind the scenes he gets in trouble for what he does in public.
I dont think other world leaders are looking at Joe Biden thinking "yeah, this guy has it all under control"

Fairly mild comment but you must remember who you are dealing withI come from a very non-PC community. We use the phrase all the time, so I didn't think anything of it.
dumb down
phrasal verb of dumb
simplify or reduce the intellectual content of something so as to make it accessible to a larger number of people.
"critics have accused publishers of dumbing down books"
become less intellectually challenging.
"the need to dumb down for mass audiences"
squistion
Footballguy
They made Trump look bad, so ignorant, uninformed, and inept (ingesting bleach?) that he had to quit doing them despite the publicity that money couldn't buy from having a daily national audience. The idea was to make him look him Presidential, but failed miserably (or he would kept doing them).

Then I am sure you should have no issue in the future if I say I have to "dumb down" something for you so that you can actually understand it.

Let's face it, most of our recent presidents weren't exactly brainiacs.

Obama was a pretty sharp guy (please refrain from using laughing emojis).
Obama's academic credentials — including degrees from two Ivy League universities — were among the best of any of our presidents. And he taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve years.

Yep. You can’t fake leadership in times of crisis and surrounding yourself with sycophants will ultimately come back to bite you. Especially something like a pandemic. The emperor had no clothes.

No, those were not his exact words, but this is what he did say:
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/23/trump-bleach-one-year-484399
Quite a few people interpreted that as a suggestion for drinking bleach or household disinfectants, to the point that the makers of Clorox and Lysol put out public statements cautioning Americans not to inject or ingest their products.
