President Biden delivered an address at the first White House conference on hunger since 1969 today. (The White House transcript has not yet been posted.) My impression is that childhood obesity is a bigger problem than childhood hunger and that however big the problem of childhood hunger is, a lack of government spending devoted to it is not the problem. Some redefinition of the problem as one of “food insecurity” is required to turn up the spigot.
At the conference Biden thanked “bipartisan elected officials” including Rep. Jim McGovern and Senator Cory Booker before seeking to acknowledge Rep. Jackie Walorski, who died in an automobile accident this past August. (Biden released a statement mourning her passing at the time.) “Jackie, are you here?” Biden asked. “Where’s Jackie? [mumbling]. She must not be here.”
REPORTER: "He said, 'Jackie, are you here, where's Jackie. She must not be here."
Karine Jean-Pierre: "I totally understand. I just explained, she was on top of mind."
REPORTER: "The confusing part is why, if she and the family is top of mind, does the president think that she's living and in the room?"
Karine Jean-Pierre: "I don't find that confusing."
REPORTER: "I have John Lennon top of mind just about every day but I'm not looking around for him anywhere."
"Stand up Chuck. Let 'em see ya! ... Oh. God love ya. What am I talking about? ... I tell you what, you're making everybody else stand up, pal. Thank you very very much.
Joe Biden was stillborn ... but his mother raised him anyway.
Bestowing the Medal of Freedom on ElRushbo was the highlight of the 2020 SOTU address.
Pelosi’s childish shredding was the lowlight.
She tried to infect DJT but he foiled her.
The rest of the year was retribution.
My first thought also...Stand up Chuck...
"I was stillborn a poor black child"
LOL
My 94 year old mom thinks her mom and dad are still around, and were just visiting her here a couple days ago.
Karine Jean-Pierre: "I don't find that confusing."
KJP must know someone with dementia.
Thanks for that laugh. I needed it.
Good point.
My mom did the same thing at 83. She was in the hospital and swore my sister had visited her earlier that morning one floor up. My sister had not been there and there was no floor above. There was absolutely no convincing her that my sister had not been there.
