Omnicron Prime must be defeated.

President Biden on Monday repeatedly mispronounced Omicron as he claimed he was on top of the potentially more contagious COVID-19 variant—before wishing reporters a “Merry Christmas” a month early.
“It’s called the Omni-cron,” Biden mangled the name during a speech in the White House Roosevelt Room, incorrectly uttering the Greek letter used to name the new variant.
“Travel restrictions can slow the speed of Omnicron. We cannot prevent it. But here’s what it does: It gives us time,” said Biden, who on Friday ordered travel restrictions on South Africa and seven neighboring countries.
“We’ve moved forward in the face of COVID-19 and moved forward in the face of the Delta variant. And we move forward now in the face of the Omnicron variant as well,” Biden said, repeating the mistake.
The president’s chief medical adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci, also botched the name that was handed down last week by the World Health Organization. The WHO controversially skipped over the Greek letters Nu and Xi, the surname of Chinese President Xi Jinping to land on Omicron.
Fauci noted that as of earlier this month, most foreign citizens already had to be vaccinated and test negative for the virus before boarding a flght to the US.
“Even before Omnicron came in, we have a situation where we’ll be able to test,” Fauci said, mispronouncing the variant’s name.
Biden took a few questions from reporters at the event, which is rare for the 79-year-old commander in chief, who typically takes only one or two questions at a time, rather than the sprawling, often contentious access granted by his predecessor.
Biden read from a list of journalists prepared by his staff. When he called on “Alexis,” reporters asked him if he meant “Alex,” saying there were two women named Alex but no Alexis.

“Omercrom... er, omecrumb, um... ombercrombie...and finch!”
Omnicron Prime must be defeated.
Omicron - anagram
moronic
I’ll wager they will skip Chi as well.
A portent of a lengthy 'LID' as the President returns to his basement lair? Wonder if they will pipe seasonal elevator music down to him? For 'circle-back' 2022 and leaving the gaffe-machine must be the real gift of the season!

LOL
Yes. Time for Biden's "long winter's nap." Maybe that's why one draft said "And Happy New Year and Juneteenth."
With media PR daily "That VP Harris is so darned dynamic and efficient you get the feeling she's the President already and President Biden can be confident she's there to handle everything."
You are really on top of it.
“ You are really on top of it.”
Would love to take credit as ironic anagrams are my specialty, but must confess that I heard a caller say that on Bongino so I stole it
he actually said the words Merry Christmas???
musta burned like fire in his mouth... #FTG
He meant to say, "Alexa, give me one of my prepared questions."
Two major flubs, Alexis? Doesn’t even know the names of the half dozen reporters he is tole to call on. And wishing a Merry Christmas now as if he won’t be answering questions from the media for a month, well maybe that was appropriate after all.
Omni-cron?
Sounds like a new Transformer hero.
A corrupt, demented old stumblebum. The perfect leader for the DemonRAT Party.
