The Trouble with Bibble-Babble

 President Biden spoke this week and said this:

"We expect these additional 200 million doses to be delivered this summer ... by the midsummer that this vaccine will be there. That increases the total vaccine order in the United States by 50% from 400 million ordered to 600 million. This enough vaccine to fully vaccinate 300 Americans by end of the summer, the beginning of the fall. I want to repeat, it will be enough to fully vaccinate 300 Americans."

There's a piece entitled "Joe Biden's Bibble-Babble", written by R. Emmett Tyrrell, and is worth a read.  

I underlined four pieces out of the quote....which really don't make sense, and Tyrrell talks about this....as 'Bibble-Babble'.  

The problem here....as you sit and try to view a speech or commentary by the President....you have to sit and interpret what he said....what he meant, and then wonder if he is disconnected or it's just an age-problem.

When he reads off the monitor?  No issue.  It's when he's unfocused and starts to gaze away....then screw up on a word here and there.

The real problem here?  Folks sit there in France, Russia, and Germany.....looking at the verbiage used, and do the translations.....then ask the translator....did you screw up again?  So they start to realize....week after week....that Bibble-Babble is normal.  

The best advice I can offer?  Try not to pay attention to what he says....just let the CNN guy tell you the final word, and he's got the real notes from the White House staff to correct issues.  If you don't like that?  Well....you need to think about these things ahead of time and vote in a different manner. 

The fact that you are going to get 400 of these speeches each year?  It should be entertaining, to say the least.   

"Virtually Touring?"

 I sat and watched the White Press Conference from yesterday (Friday).  

So on Monday, President Biden will apparently 'tour' a vaccination production facility....by virtually being there.  

What that means?  Some volunteer from the White House (maybe a whole team) will be sent to the location....given some geeky equipment, and do the walk with the camera giving Biden reference points and talking points by the director of the place.  

Odds of comments by production workers?  Probably, with Biden commenting back to them...'keep it Pony-Soldier' or 'Americas counting on you'.  There's probably a cheat sheet with 300 Biden-isms already typed up and ready for the 'big-guy' to comment upon.

Why not actually go there?  That wasn't made clear by Psaka.

If you asked me....there's a tight control on sleeping hours and performances required for President Biden.  If you woke the guy up at 4 AM, and got him on a plane by 7 AM....his peak is probably from 8 to 12.  From that point on, it's anyone's guess how things go.

This being the norm for 2021?  It wouldn't shock me if he has fewer than 30 actual appearances in the year, and most around Washington DC itself.  

One other side of this....if you had personal appearances where the crowds might be anti-Biden, it'd really start to suggest that the nation isn't behind him, and there is a serious public issue with him.  By going virtual....you avoid that situation.
