The president visited the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 324 training facility in Howell on Tuesday in an attempt to gain support for a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and his larger Build Back Better agenda, which includes a proposed $3.5 trillion reconciliation package. After praising Whitmer for being "one of the best governors in the United States of America," he added a strange comment about Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist.

"And her lieutenant governor who covers her in every way, both in terms of physically, and mentally, and every other way," Biden said.

Biden has a history of verbal miscues and gaffes in his speeches. It was reported last month that some White House staffers have been compelled to mute him or turn off his public appearances altogether to avoid confusion or possible embarrassment.

The venue for Biden's speech was held outside with a small subset of chairs, with around 40 people in attendance. Democratic U.S. Reps. Andy Levin of Bloomfield Township, Debbie Dingell of Dearborn, and Dan Kildee of Flint Township also attended, sitting in the front row, according to the Detroit News.

Biden's visit comes as his agenda stalled last week after centrist Democrats in the Senate refused to budge on their stated disagreement with the $3.5 trillion package, as Sen. Joe Manchin has said the price far exceeds his desired $1.5 trillion price range for the bill.

Outside of the union site where the president was speaking, large crowds of supporters for former President Donald Trump gathered with signs and flags, some with signage that read "Trump won," referring to last year's presidential election.

Biden does have a tendency sometimes to want to talk too much, to embellish his sentences with more of a rhetorical flurry.  It is a "fault" of the Irish.  

It does VERY LITTLE harm.

Biden wants to over describe things , he is verbose (someone who uses more words than necessary). So we get sentences like 

"her lieutenant governor who covers her in every way, both in terms of physically, and mentally, and every other way,"

How would you compare his quote to these?  I am not going to list the people making these quotes, just interested in your response to the quotes yourself.

  • "This is a tough hurricane, one of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water."
  • “This is an island surrounded by water, big water, ocean water”
  • "I think if this country gets any kinder or gentler, it's literally going to cease to exist."
  • "It's really cold outside, they are calling it a major freeze, weeks ahead of normal. Man, we could use a big fat dose of global warming!"
  • "They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
  • "When you see the other side chopping off heads, waterboarding doesn't sound very severe."
  • "[John McCain is]... not a war hero. He's a war hero - he's a war hero 'cause he was captured. I Like people that weren't captured, OK, I hate to tell you."
  • "She does have a very nice figure... If [Ivanka] weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."
  • “My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, are various other parts of my body.”
  • “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries coming here?”
  • “Look at my African-American!”
  • “Despite the constant negative press covfefe”

You are talking about that?  Of course it's "sane".  He was saying that the lieutenant governor has Wittmer's back.   You want to make a mountain out of an anthill. 

Biden tends to try and expand on his basic sentences and thats when he says things like that. It is not remotely a big deal.

What a stupid remark.

I happen to be an expert in caring for someone with stage 3 - stage 4 Alzheimer's.  If you are referring to the mid to late stage Alzheimer's symptom, Single Cause Fixation, patients frequently become obsessed with an inanimate object or a specific action often times related to an inanimate object.  Alzheimer patients are seldom obsessed with other people, because they are completely obsessed with themselves.  

For  you to compare Alzheimer's with an imagined disease is ridiculous and shows a severe lack of education and understanding for all dementia-related diseases.

It is obvious you have never lost a loved one to the ravages of Alzheimer’s.

If so, you would never equate the toll it takes on an individual, a family, and all concerned to a manufactured, meaninglessness malady.

If not, count your blessings.
