Close, but no Obama.
Former President Joe Biden spotted a familiar face on stage during his portrait unveiling at Syracuse University School of Law Tuesday and demanded the man join him at the podium in an awkward exchange.
“I always want to turn around to one guy and say … ‘Barack, what are you doing?’” Biden joked during the event at his alma mater.
The 83-year-old former president was referring to Jeffrey Scruggs, who is black and the chairman of the school’s Board of Trustees, and apparently reminds Biden of the 44th president, Barack Obama.
Biden awkwardly put the spotlight on Scruggs and called for him to come up to the podium, despite the chairman’s apparent reluctance.
“Come here, come here, come here, come here … come here,” Biden repeatedly demanded, motioning for Scruggs.
“I feel like he should be standing on the right and I should be standing on the left,” Biden said, after the trustee finally walked over laughing.
“Doesn’t he look like Barack?” the former president asked the audience, as Scruggs shook his head, seemingly disagreeing with Biden’s assessment.

Then, Scruggs goes up to the podium and yuks it up with PotatoHead.
He was the president a year and a half back
How can anyone complain about Trump
To biden, they all look the same?
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
And a big F’ing deal man!
“You people all look alike to me.”
To be fair, Biden is a racist.
Gotta earn his keep.
The cringe part was when he asked Scruggs to do a little soft shoe like he did back in Vegas with Sinatra and Martin.
The walking, talking definition of embarrassment.
You would think the Dems would take better precautions by now.
I think your podium days are behind you now, Joe. Go away and let nature take it’s course.
You’ve left your mark on history... Turns out it’s just a very bad stain.
The real Obama has white hair now, unless he has started to use Clairol.
To which Biden responded “sorry, to me all blacks look alike” just imagine if ANY Republican had done the same thing
He’s better looking than Obama and doesn’t appear to be demon-possessed as does Obama.
Tater Joe, “they” don’t all look alike. There is no hope for his wormy brain.
