President Joe Biden gave a speech from the Oval Office where he appeared to rely on the teleprompter to make his points clear. He read a note instructing him to emphasize that American troops will not be fighting in Russia. This unusual remark was included in the White House’s transcript of the speech, raising eyebrows among critics.
In his address, Biden announced his plan to ask Congress for over $100 billion to fund America’s national security needs and support key partners like Ukraine and Israel. He stressed the importance of assisting these countries in their wars against Russia and Iran-backed Hamas, respectively. While some may question the need for such extensive funding, it is essential to prioritize the security of our allies.

This incident isn’t the first time Biden has been accused of relying too heavily on the teleprompter. Last year, he faced criticism for saying, “End of quote. Repeat the line.” However, his assistant press secretary denied any mistake, claiming he simply wanted to repeat the line.
These instances raise concerns about the president’s ability to effectively communicate without prompter assistance. With growing doubts about his age and fitness for another term, it is crucial for Biden to demonstrate clarity and confidence in his public addresses.
Overall, this incident highlights the need for transparency and a closer evaluation of Biden’s performance as president. The American people deserve a leader who can clearly convey their message and make informed, independent decisions.
