A SHAM PRESS CONFERENCE OF FURNISHED QUESTIONS AND REHEARSED ANSWERS.

ICHEOKU says one of the hallmarks of presidential press conference is usually its spontaneity. But when the same press conference becomes a rehash of an already seen questions and earlier prepared answers then the built up excitement is defeated. Today, after over 50 years of being imposed on Americans and installed in the White House, Joe Biden ventured out to do a press conference but it ended up badly. 

There was no fireworks, he was dower and nothing came out of it that moved the news trajectory or even made the news. It was flat at best and less informative to say the least; and for a man who continuously preaches unity of American people, the fact that he refused to call on any conservative reporter to field a question says it all about the seriousness of his professed unity. No journalist from Fox News, OAN or Newmax was called up to ask a question and you wonder how the millions on the right side of American politics will see this open disdainful behavior.  

Joe Biden also confirmed to the world that he is a Methuselah and was in the United States Senate for 120 years before he became a Vice President and then eventually installed in the White House by the Deep State. He called on specific reporters from his notebook who most probably submitted their questions ahead of time to enable his minders prepare answers for  them. But he still struggled remembering the answers and had to directly read them as written for him in his handbook. It was heartrending watching the labored read and you wonder why his minders did not also correctly write for him the number of years he was in the senate since they went to the length of providing him the answers to other questions. How did he know the right  flashcards to bring if the questions were not provided to him ahead of time and answers to them also made available.

So many questions which many people had expected to see were not asked; instead the journalists were busy asking a 78 year man who barely made it through the last election and who is less than 60 days in his term whether he will run again in 2024. Meanwhile there was no questions on January 6th Capitol riot; on the economy; joblessness and why he canceled the Keystone XL pipeline project and whether he regrets the jobs that were lost as a result. Nobody asked him if he had continued with the border wall and not canceled it, whether it would not have helped to stem the southern border immigration crisis. Even when he said he has no apologies for canceling all the measures put in place by President Donald John Trump which checkmated the immigration crisis, none of the reporters pushed back to explain that the measures were indeed working. Also he was not challenged to renounce his messaging which is encouraging the migration. 

He read the answers to the questions which were very noticeable with the questions on the expected withdrawal date of American soldiers from Afghanistan and North Korea missiles firing provocations. It is also instructive that no journalist deemed it fit to ask Joe Biden whether his administration is purposely preventing journalists from going to the holding facilities until they straighten things out so that they will not see the appalling state of affairs there now. They also failed to challenge him on the cancel culture epidemic which is infesting the country and whether such is not autocratic and anti democratic. There was also no questions on why Prince Mohamed Bin Salaman was not punished for killing journalist Jamal Khashoggi; the Kenyan government slaughter of Tigrans and of course the Myanmar ongoing military attack on democracy. 

It was such a pitiful event and it is obvious that a lot of cover up was involved in staging the press conference, especially by the journalists who were themselves a far cry from their adversarial self during President Donald John Trump time in the White House. The journalists were not driven by fact finding and information gathering; they merely willfully participated in a ruse orchestrated to satisfy anxious Americans who were steadily getting worried that the man occupying their White House has not addressed a press conference for over 50 days since he was installed in office. It is a shame.

Anyway, it is good that he survived the press conference, did not faint or collapse and did not sip any water throughout the slightly over one hour press meet, if ICHEOKU could call it that. Let us hope that he will going forward make himself more readily available to the media and also learn to take questions and answer them off cuff. But whatever happens, the practice of leaking questions ahead of time to our leaders which was started by Donna Brasile with Hillary Clinton must stop. It somewhat questions the intelligence of our leaders and the world is laughing at America on how Hollywood has corrupted everything in America with everything being literary scripted just for show. It questions America's seriousness and challenges its place as a leader of the world if they could allow such a mentally and physically debilitated man to be leading them.
