Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer attempted to slam President Joe Bidens press conference on Thursday, but only managed a major-league self-own.
Fleischer, who served under former President George W. Bush, had a problem with Biden bringing notes to the media, apparently thinking ensuring accurate information was a good thing.
After griping about it, Fleischer added this misspelled rhetorical question: Is he really that week that he needs a study guide? (sic)
Twitter users immediately pointed out the many flaws in Fleischers tweet.

(32,809 posts)It frees the mind for more important skill sets- abstract thought, free association, critical thinking. Anyone can memorize facts, figures.. use that space for problem solving..which is what Biden is doing!

(16,940 posts)WHAT if you can't even read notes (yeah, I mean READ - like, too many big words) because you have none, AND have NO idea of what abstract thought, free association, or critical thinking might entail - what do you have?
Yeah, but he lost, didn't he (but he still doesn't believe it!!!!!)

(16,646 posts)I never went into a meeting with upper management or my customer without a binder of detail information to which I could refer. Frequently, I'd be skimming it as questions were asked of other people in case the topic turned to my area. Heck, with the customer, I'd have subordinates available in case it got too detailed for me to answer.

Maybe you should have had a chance to be a "Distinguished Chaired Professor" at Trump University!

(16,940 posts)What with ALL of the mess that we're dealing with regarding IQ45, it is so EASY to forget what chaos was brought down upon us by "W" and his destructive administration.
We DO need to keep all of that in our minds as we try to honor the true aims and goals of the things that could/should make America the best that the world has seen.

(16,940 posts)I have a framed poster that shows "W" with the words "WORST PRESIDENT EVER!"
Hell, IQ45 made that thing worthless!
And you are SO right - short memories are dangerous. Just because he may now be the second or third worst ever does NOT elevate him onto the platform of "Honored Elder Statesmen!"
