Biden: “He’s really clean and articulate for a black man”.
Looks like the guys in uniform are all the way in the back - this IS a military operation, and all the civilians are up front and close to obozo ....
McSonough probably showed him the latest poll numbers. That is one of the few things that matters to the poseur-in-chief.
When I heard him state on Saturday the the USA is the “oldest constitutional democracy” it re-affirmed all my beliefs that this guy is no constitutional scholar - he’s a low-life chicago thug.
I like how most of the people are holding their heads up in a desperate attempt to stay awake.
He wants cover. The kind only attention whores McCain and Graham can provide.
I am picturing some effete prancer running around posing these dopes for this photo op. He is( the prancer), of course paid for by the taxpayer..
“Does that table have a DO NOT CROSS line down the middle?”
yeah like Obama really cares about such things
"I gotta tell you Joe... Mind if we sit down? Walking and talking at the same time is pretty tough. Hey, think we could find a mobile teleprompter?"
Walter White, second to last on the right?
this is the guy Odumbo took a walk with. Denis McDonough. Looks like a zombie.
Probably that way because the photog didn’t want the skepticism which is written all over their faces to be the first thing people see.
