President Joe Biden had another of the glaring mental misfires that have marked his tenure as the nation’s leader, this time appearing to forget the name of the Hamas terror organization.
The octogenarian Democrat was already struggling to get through a Tuesday White House press conference when he was asked a question about the ongoing hostage negotiations between Israel and the Islamist militants, who abducted them during their cowardly sneak attack on civilians last year.
BIDEN: “There is some movement, and I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, let me be choose my words — there’s some movement. There’s been a response from the, uh, there’s been a response from the opposition, but um…”

“There is some movement…and I don’t wanna…I don’t wanna…let me be choose my words…there’s some movement…there’s been a response from the opposition, but um…,” Biden stammered in the painfully embarrassing response.
“Yes, I’m sorry, from Hamas,” the struggling senior said after a reporter jumped in and threw him a lifeline. “But it seems to be a little over the top.”
Biden had been in the middle of a diatribe about the so-called “border security” bill, the imminent failure of which he blamed on former President Donald J. Trump, vowing to use it as an election issue against him when he was knocked off track by the hostage question.
The 81-year-old career politician isn’t helping himself when it comes to voter concerns about his advanced age and his ability to handle the rigors of another four-year term, especially with his obviously worsening deterioration in his current one.
X users brutalized the “leader” of the free world over his forgetfulness over the key player in the volatile Middle East.
You cannot tell me that this man is OK

Prime example why his handlers don’t want him going off script or without a teleprompter.

He’s listening to Barack in the earpiece.

And this is why Crooked Joe declined doing the traditional Super Bowl interview.

Yesterday he said he talks to dead people. Anyone know if he’s spoken to John Lennon lately?

Over the weekend, Biden did it again when he said that he had met with French President Francois Mitterrand.

The problem was that Mitterrand is dead and has been that way for nearly three decades. What the flailing president really meant to say is that he had met with current President Emmanuel Macron, the sort of flub that has given his handlers nightmares as they desperately try to keep Humpty Dumpty together until November 5th.
Biden also ducked out on the traditional Super Bowl pregame interview and it’s easy to see why.
