Under-pressure Biden Sticks To The Script In Nato Speech
Biden, slurring, teleprompter, NATO
OK this is beyond acceptable for a world leader. Even with microphones I can barely understand what most of his words are. He garbles most of his words and tone shifts when unneeded. Loud then soft and garbled. Incoherent at certain points.
And he is one of the pillars of NATO leadership? I usually don't have to get a transcript to understand what most world leaders are talking about. This is a few rare occasions I have to read the official transcript. I only caught about 60% of what he said clearly.
Also I can't believe what I just heard when he talked about other people's wife. I played the clip over and over again to analyze. He did start the sentence with an f sound then some unintelligible mumbling before slurring out "talking". First time around I really thought he was so crass as to talk about sexual acts with other people's wife and then tell her to extend the service followed by an apology.
And this is not to mention the awkward movements during the medal ceremony.
If I'm an intelligence agent from a hostile country watching it, I won't know what to write in my report to my boss.
