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.

They are jumping around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots.
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.
You’re no fun anymore. 😕
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

Our four-year national embarrassment remembering the “good ole days” of the eight-year national mistake…
The man is a rutabaga…. Actually, that’s insulting to rutabagas… rutabagas actually have value.
Howdy miss Jane!!!
I know Jeff Scruggs well from being in class with him 1989 to 1990 in Section E of Harvard Business School. We also did a field study group project together with four other students in 1991 for the Denver Nuggets basketball team. He is a good guy; very intelligent and articulate. He’s not effeminate like Obama. Jeff would make a much better President than Obama or Joe Biden. He was probably pretty embarrassed by that whole situation. I will likely see Jeff in June for our 35th HBS reunion in Boston.
“C’mon man”
LOL ... Rutabaga, Potato ... either will do. And, howdy to YOU.
““Come here, come here, come here, come here … come here,” Biden repeatedly demanded, motioning for Scruggs.”
Hey, Biden. He’s not a 7 year old girl.
It's priceless for comedy. I can't believe Jill wants him to display his dementia.
I got a flashback when I read that Joey was addressing a crowd.
There was picture of Joey at a campaign stop in 2020 in what looked like a conference room of a Holiday Inn and to use the word crowd to describe the gathering was hyperbole.
Anyway I will never forget they were in circles which was some kind of hocus pocus that came out of the scamdemic.

........
Auto pen getting his portrait hung up at his law school.
Is this where he had the accusations of plagiarism pop up way back when?
Not that I care, although that would be a little funny.
Auto pen will always be a Seditious conspirator right next to his Seditious co-conspirator Barrio Obama..
I’d offer the charge of treason to both of them but maybe Obama could argue that he was always a foreign enemy.
HA!!
+1
I’m surprised they would still let it out of its controlled familiar surrounding lest it wander off.
Biden was nothing more than a wretched hunched over with dementia vacant carcass during the entire four years of his installation.
Run by the Marxists and used to their greatest effect as an unfeeling, uncaring, confused burned and singed oven mitt, pushed right into the very edge of the flames only to be thrown away later. Having zero concerns for any lasting legacy, rather used only as a tool to ram through as much of their communist Cloward-Piven, Saul Alinksy and CIA ‘color revolution’ schemes as possible to the greatest detriment upon the USA.
I’m sure Obama and Samantha Power already have someone else in mind to use for next time. Brennan may be out of the loop if the DOJ ever acts. Michelle doesn’t want to play.
He’s articulate, good looking, and well educated like Barack. So what!
Hope all is well in your world today.
It’s a beautiful 83° here. Summer is on the way.
