Biden awkwardly demands Syracuse University trustee who ‘looks like’ Obama join him at podium: ‘Barack, what are you doing?’

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.

It really is amazing. As much as I may not like the man, seeing the elderly and frail abused (having their signatures potentially forged…) and embarrassed (given mikes to mess up) is not right.

Yes but Scruggs handled an embarrassing situation pretty well I thought. Got off stage as fast as he could.

Haha. Still, I wouldn’t kick a dog when it’s down even if it’s was old, nasty, mangy and toothless. I’d let the mutt spend its remaining days without adding more shame to it. :D
