Biden daily gaffe average: The president is batting nearly a thousand | Fox News
By: Patrick Hauf (Fox News)
Doesn't get any better as time goes on.
Biden averaging nearly a gaffe per day
President Biden had 17 gaffes over the past four weeks, from mispronunciations to confusions to blatantly inaccurate statements.
President Biden averaged nearly a gaffe per workday over the past four weeks, errors that included mispronunciations, confusion, inaccuracies, and forgetting that a congresswoman had died.
Biden is hitting .810 from September 26 to October 24, committing at least 17 gaffes.
The president mostly fails to get on base over the long weekends when he often travels to his home state of Delaware and is generally kept away from microphones and cameras. One exception was his iconic bike fall in Rehoboth Beach, but that was back in June. He spent eight days in Delaware over the four-week stretch. It wouldn't be fair to count those days toward his average, since he usually doesn't get a chance at bat.
Biden, as he wished a happy birthday to Vice President Kamala Harris Monday, called her a "great president." He later called Harris the "highest ranking black Indian, with Indian background, woman, in American history to be Vice President." That same day, Biden botched United Kingdom Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's name. One day prior, NowThis posted an interview with the president where he falsely described his executive order on college debt forgiveness as a bill that "passed by a vote or two."
The president's struggles come as he prepares to turn 80 on November 20. Still, he said this month that he intends to run for reelection in 2024.
The most viral blunder from Biden in the past month came on September 28, when he called out to the late Rep. Jackie Walorski, who passed away in a car crash in August.
"Jackie, are you here? Where's Jackie? She must not be here," Biden said at the Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health.
Biden appeared to wander after two speeches in recent weeks. Staffers had to direct him in one instance after an event on the Federal Emergency Management Agency response to Hurricane Ian.
When asked in an interview if his wife supports a 2024 run, Biden paused for several seconds, which appeared to startle the reporter, then delivered a jumbled response.
"Dr. Biden thinks that uh, my wife thinks that uh, that I uh, that, that we're, that we're doing something very important," Biden said.
The president dropped his notes in another interview with CNN, then delivered an improvised, unclear response. He also estimated that his administration has overseen "a billion a trillion 750 million dollars billion dollars off the sidelines of investment" on countering climate change.
Biden's most common gaffe over this time period was his tendency to misspeak. He mispronounced the Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges, announced Pennsylvania Senate Candidate John Fetterman's wife will be a "great, great lady in the Senate," and declared in one speech, "Let me start off with two words: Made in America." He also spelled out D-O-T as he read a URL off the teleprompter.
"New York sent not only a Congresswoman, one of the most congresswoman in the Congress," he explained in another speech.
The president has displayed unusual physical behavior as well. At one October event, he grabbed a girl's face and then held her hand for a minute as he greeted others. Seconds later, he held a woman's shoulder for nearly 30 seconds as he continued to shake hands with the crowd.

Ya just gotta watch the video compilation in the seeded article.......
Trump and supporters are off topic. Even the veiled kind. Remember to address your responses to whom you are responding to. Childish behavior and commentary, at the discretion of the seeder, will be deleted.
Just yesterday he claimed gas was over $5.00 when he took office.

And he quit a starting job on a football team he wasn’t on, to be with his first wife. It appears fact checkers are bigger hypocrites than the politicians they are supposed to cover.
No shit? Education dept. is worried about containing potential fraud on top of a $400B giveaway?
And he spoke at her memorial service. But we're supposed to believe he's not an embarrassment to the country.
Do you consider it wrong for Biden to continue to make public appearances?
He can keep making them. Guarantees he won't be re-elected and it narrows the chances for a Democrat to be elected.
Should be quite a show when he goes to campaign for Fetterman.
The translators will need translators .....
Imagine the intelligence vacuum with both of them in the same building?
Yep but not as bad as the deep vacuum pulled by all the folks who support those guys.
Nature does abhor a vacuum ....
I wonder how that Puerto Rican upbringing is working out for him.
Biden has told approximately 15,000 lies since he became President.
Biden lies and his supporters call them gaffes....

Biden regularly attacks millions of Americans.
Trump is a rookie by comparison.
Ridiculous, but we expect that by now.
But he's been lying and gaffing for 50 years.
Nah, it’s spot on and not surprising that once again .... you missed it.
I think you got that right .
one is an egotistical asshat , and the other is a professional career politician , really no comparison , but both end up in the same places .
I always remember there are lies , damn lies , and political promises , all equate to the same thing .
We have 2 options here, they are either complete hypocrites without integrity, or they realize that Biden is a complete dumbass and really doesn’t know any better so they hold him to a different standard than they would for someone of average intelligence.
Because he can get away with it. One minute he is admired as the smartest man on earth, but when he lies he is a stupid gaffe machine...go figure.
Who claims Biden is the smartest man on Earth?
The seed is from Fox News and it repeatedly uses the term 'gaffe'.
That's correct. On Friday, October 28, 2022 he added another one ...
I was surprised when, years ago, candidate Obama said that there were 57 states. Somehow, we lost 3 of them! I wonder who we sold that land to? I feel sorry for our school children trying to learn about our country when even our presidents don't know how many states we have.
I guess the old children's puzzle maps will come back in vogue then if we need to add and remove states depending on who's sitting in the Oval Office...
