I'm quite pleased he didn't actually. It would not have been genuine had he done so. These "people" do not feel. They do not care. They have never cared. Each word of sympathy from them, every sad expression or quiver in the voice -- is FAKE, is performance, is acting. We in the UK remember Tony Blair "acting" so terribly upset and moved by the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London, 2005. But that was all B.S, like a bad soap opera. Same for Obama after the Sandy Hook massacre with his crocodile tears.Posted by thepainterdoug (here)
i did not hear or see or feel a scintilla of care, concern or remorse for any of the victims, the children, the still missing or the people of Maui.
These people have hearts of granite, souls of ice. Don't look for genuine human emotion from them. They don't have it; it doesn't exist in them.
What I'm getting at is: Joe can't act anymore. He's too old and doddery to know what's even going on around him. His phony politician's mask has fallen.
And that's a good thing.
You could say this is probably his biggest and most embarrassing gaffe yet. Right now, people are looking to their President for a show of empathy...only to find it's non-existent. He's exposing himself for the fraud he is, especially to liberal Hawaiians. Every tactless word, aloof gesture, or ill-timed nap Biden takes during an important speech, is a wake up call for those not yet paying attention.
