Joe-Joe Biden is certainly no stranger to committing embarrassing blunders that end up as news stories, but it’s usually because of something he said or did.
This from westernjournal.com.
This time around, some poorly thought-out imagery in the background of a Thursday speech quickly caught the attention of social media users.
According to CNBC:
Biden gave a speech on what the White House touted as an update on America’s ‘economic progress.’
As Joe-Joe spoke Thursday at a steamfitters union hall in Springfield, Virginia, a sign behind his podium read:
President Biden’s Blueprint For America.
And underneath that message, the sign read:
Good Jobs, Lower Costs, Better Pay.
The truth being told inadvertently, as noted by Christian Martinez, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s deputy press secretary, the images next to those phrases told a much different and sadder story.
Martinez tweeted:
Did anyone in the [Obiden Regime} check the logos? Because that’s definitely an American worker working for less money.
Trust us, American workers, we know. 😒

Martinez hit the nail on the head.
NOTE: Don’t assume this was a “giant ‘yikes’ in the optics department.” Heads may roll, but if this was not an oversight, and I doubt it was, someone on the Obiden Team is demonstrating their disgust, and having had a great laugh before and after it was all over.
One Twitter user responded:
Trust us, American workers, we know.
For comedic relief, Joe-Joe’s full speech can be watched in the video below:
During his speech, Joe-Joe seemed to have forgotten entirely about America’s energy crisis, sky-high grocery store bills, food shortages, and everything else bad happening with the U.S. economy in general. Instead, he touted Thursday’s positive Gross Domestic Product news, which rose 2.9 percent.
Joe-Joe told those in attendance at the union hall:
I’m not sure the news could have been any better—economic growth is up stronger than experts expected, 2.9 percent.
He continued:
I don’t think it’s unfair to say that this is all evidence that Biden economic plan is actually working.
He also couldn’t resist taking a shot at House Republicans, especially those nasty “MAGA Republicans” he always hates on.
He said:
MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives are threatening to destroy this economy, this progress. Look, this ain’t your father’s Republican Party. It’s a different breed of cat.
In reality, American workers are still hurting, just as they were a year ago under the Obiden Regime.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:
“[R]eal wages declined from December 2021 to December 2022.”
The BLS website noted:
From December 2021 to December 2022, real average hourly earnings decreased 1.1 percent, seasonally adjusted.
The change in real average hourly earnings combined with a decrease of 0.9 percent in the average workweek resulted in a 2.0-percent decrease in real average weekly earnings over this period.
Poor optics aside, Joe-Joe’s speech will undoubtedly fall upon deaf ears, as hard-working, blue-collar Americans know damn well there is absolutely nothing to brag about economically.
Let’s get a handle on the ridiculousness of the egg shortage crisis before we start talking about how great the economy is, OK?
Final thoughts: This is further proof that no one on the Obiden Team is ready for prime time. Besides destroying America, they are presenting themselves as a Vaudeville comedy act.
