President Biden asked permission from his staff if he could answer questions from the press Monday, fueling further speculation the 81-year-old incumbent has instructions about what he can say.

“Am I allowed to take any questions?” Biden said, looking around the New Hampshire Democratic headquarters in Manchester at the conclusion of his remarks there during a campaign stop. “Anybody here a sta–” the president went on, apparently about to say “staff” before trailing off, as the crowd laughed.

A Biden staffer quickly interjected, “Thank you, press,” before the camera feed covering the event cut out. This isn’t the first time Biden — who has held the fewest formal interviews and press conferences than any modern president — has asked if he could take questions.

Can you imagine the staffer who tries to tell President Trump that he is not allowed to answer any questions?

[Lazamataz]

One thing the Biden presidency has uncovered, is that the actual president can be immaterial to the administration. You can have a senile, unaware old man, and the others will still run the country for him.

No, but I can imagine the ex-staffer.

Yeah, that’s pretty funny all right. I’m trying to remember any President asking staff if he can answer questions from the press. And yet the press laughs instead of asking ‘What the hell?’

Was the Easter Bunny available for consultation?
Biden could have asked her for permission.

Pretty much a direct quote from the Mop Top Press Secretary.
