Barack Obama visited the White House for the first time since he left office on Tuesday. He was there to celebrate the 12th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, as well as to watch President Biden sign an executive order aimed at improving the law. Obama’s return created plenty of commotion, and for Fox News and the rest of the right-wing ecosphere, a fresh opportunity to cast Biden as a weaker, watered-down version of the former president.
The Republican National Committee shared two clips of the visit that quickly went viral. The first shows an ostensibly confused Biden ambling around the stage as Obama holds court behind him. The second is similar, with Biden standing on the periphery as Obama greets well wishers.
The clips even made it onto the Fox News primetime slate. “Biden doesn’t know what on earth he’s doing or, at times, where he even is,” Lauran Ingraham said as she played the first clip. Tucker Carlson played the second, along with a “King Obama” graphic depicting the former president wearing a crown and a menacing scowl. “Make it stop,” Carlson said. “It’s awful.”
The only problem is that both clips were taken out of context. Biden does look a little confused in the first clip, but it’s only because he’s looking for someone, perhaps Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, whom he brings up onstage to applause shortly after the conservative media cut ends. The second clip ends right before Biden gets Obama’s attention and introduces him to someone. Twitter user @acyn helpfully attached the full clips to the end of the Fox News segments lambasting the edited versions.

“The only problem is that both clips were taken out of context.”
Please. Show me something the left DOESN’T take out of context if they think it might benefit them. Never hear complaints about that.
wait....WHAT?!!!!!!!
...He left office on Tuesday? He's been here this entire time??????
Now we know the real truth! This indeed is 0bama's third term. Fox news just admitted it.
Outrageous, that FOX would perpetrate such a heinous hate crime against America’s most famous former tractor-trailer driver and Mensa member...
Didn’t they falsely accuse some college students of rape a few years ago?
Could have said the Beatles.......
See, and Rolling Stone is making tactical errors, to the Democrats' eyes. The Democrats are clearly setting up Biden (and probably Harris) to go away. This was an intentional act on the part of the powers that really control things (which, as we now see clearly, is Obama).
Trust no media that relies on ratings/likes/views to raise it’s ad fees.

I’m sure no fan of Biden, but I agree with what you said:
“Well lets just say the Pres. of the USA was in the room and certainly not shown the courtesy of the office nor Obama being appreciative he was the Pres.’s guest......far from it.”
Maybe he was more ignored than lost. Still sad. You’d think the President would be covered in sycophants.
Wait- the LW rag that claimed people were standing in line for ivermectin in Oklahoma during the dead of summer wearing wool hats and parkas is claiming another outlet doctored a photo??
You are correct.
I watched the Rolling Stone’s longer clips. The longer clips do not show President Biden, or his staff, in a better light.
Yep - Obama was soaking up all the oxygen in the room without recognizing he was with, and a guest of the Pres. of the USA - nor was Kamala considerate of that fact as she led Obama around like an owner with a dog to show off.
The games begin. Eventually the democraps own up to the obvious, make arrangements for Biden to step down very soon after January 21, 2023 so that Heelsup Harris has a crack at 2 years of incumbency.
Of course, anything Trump says bad about Kameltoe in the 2024 race will be because of racism and sexism.
If he wanted attention, he should have done what he did to get the popes attention
