President Joe Biden was captured on camera in what some perceive as another embarrassing incident, further raising doubts about his ability to effectively serve a full four-year term. During his meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’a Al-Sudani in the Oval Office on Monday, a camera captured Biden referring to a “cheat sheet” that provided guidance on his remarks and actions. This incident is likely to undermine confidence in his leadership capabilities.
“Biden was caught once again wielding a crib sheet bearing scripted remarks to the press during an Oval Office sitdown with Iraq’s prime minister Monday,” The Post said.
During his initial public statement following Iran’s recent missile and drone attack on Israel, President Biden, who is 81 years old, relied on a written script. The script contained stage directions in capital letters, instructing him when to pause for an interpreter to provide translations. According to The Post, Biden consistently glanced down at the script throughout the meeting.
The outlet noted that “Al-Sudani did not rely on note cards of any kind when he made brief remarks following Biden.”
Rather than delivering an on-camera statement during the ongoing attack on Saturday, President Biden opted for the White House to call a lid shortly after 5 p.m. Instead, they released photographs showcasing the president and his national security team closely monitoring the situation in the Situation Room.
