Biden's cheat sheets at fundraisers worry donors
Hans Nichols

Feb. 23, 2024

President Biden has been using notecards in closed-door fundraisers, calling on prescreened donors and then consulting his notes to provide detailed answers, according to people familiar with the routine.

Why it matters: Biden's reliance on notecards to help explain his own policy positions — on questions he knows are coming — is raising concerns among some donors about Biden's age.

    *The president is 81 but claims he feels younger.
    *The staged Q&A sessions have left some donors wondering whether Biden can withstand the rigors of a presidential campaign, let alone potential debates with former President Trump, 77.

Biden advisers say the president is given notecards only for very detailed and technical questions, and say he frequently does spontaneous Q&As.  ...

Biden's reliance on notecards to answer questions at fundraisers worries some donors: Report
'Staged Q&A sessions' at private fundraisers have some donors concerned about upcoming campaign: Axios
By David Rutz Fox News
Published February 23, 2024 8:40am EST

President Biden's reliance on his notes to give detailed answers at private fundraisers has left some donors worried about his viability, according to a new report.

Biden is prone to consulting notecards after calling on pre-selected donors who have questions at the closed-door events, Axios reported on Friday.

"Biden's reliance on notecards to help explain his own policy positions — on questions he knows are coming — is raising concerns among some donors about Biden's age," the article stated.

It's the latest media report about Biden on that front, despite recent White House bristling over such talk. The story added most recent presidents have had "cheat sheets" of sorts to refer to at public events and press conferences.

Biden's usual habit at lofty fundraisers is to make remarks with reporters in the room, who are then escorted out. The remaining donors can then ask a few questions that have already been vetted by Biden's staff. His staffers have said the notes are simply a way of making sure he's as prepared as possible for what's coming.

My wife and I went to see the notoriously "dumb" Dubya give a speech to a small group of 50 or so in Cleveland - I think it was in 2004.  We went in expecting to be massively underwhelmed with him as a speaker but were honestly shocked at how sharp he was.  Had great command of the facts, and took unscripted/unvetted questions from the audience (including me) on some pretty detailed topics.  Much different in person than when reading a teleprompter.

If Biden is having to read off notecards to answer pre-vetted questions, that's not normal.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Gdub was actually a very good speaker. And I liked how he handled 9/11. The media and his second term sunk him, imho. But the second term is what usually sinks a presidency, and the media of course.

Why wasn't it an issue four years ago?  This is not new.


New photos show cheat sheets used by Biden during his first press conference

Kenneth Garger  |  March 25, 2021



New photos reveal several cheat sheets used by President Biden during his Thursday press conference — including one with the headshots and names of reporters he planned to call on.

The president also used notes to assist with facts about US infrastructure, a policy area Biden is focusing on during his first months in the White House.

“The United States now ranks 13th globally in infrastructure quality — down from 5th place in 2002,” read one bullet point.

But despite having the answers in front of him, Biden still slipped up, saying America ranked 85th in the world in infrastructure, before correcting himself.

He just was terrible at reading a teleprompter.  Had a "deer in the headlights" look.  But when just speaking on his own, he was really good

One of GWB's best attributes was putting together a good team, which is something that Trump absolutely sucks at.

Did he say with who? Because apparently it was with future dr Jill when he was still married to Neilia, and I still say Neilia drove in front of that truck in a murder suicide attempt (half successful) because she hated that lying, adultering, POS Joe Biden.

Yeah, we'd probably have to ask his daughter about that.
