President Biden is given precise instructions in pictures shot at a White House meeting with cabinet officials.
On Thursday, Biden spoke at a “Meeting on Federal State Offshore Wind Implementation Partnership” while holding a binder containing talking points and receiving a chart comparing the heights of the under discussion offshore wind turbines to famous structures like the Empire State Building and the Eiffel Tower.
Later, he read from one side of a separate note card that he held up.
A list of instructions for the president was, however, on the side of the note card that was visible to the cameras.
The card reads: “YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants. YOU take YOUR seat.”
The directions continue, “Press enters,” then, “YOU give brief comments,” with a parenthetical comment stating , “2 minutes.” Biden ended up speaking for roughly eight minutes.
The final bullet points say, “YOU thank participants” and “YOU depart.”
This is a very typical approach used by politicians and government representatives at public events, a White House official tells Fox News.
Obama also employed a similar note-taking technique when president, according to Hannah Hankins, a former White House communications director for him.
Biden’s notes have previously gone viral on the internet. During a news briefing on the Russia-Ukraine war in March, he was seen with a card that said, “Tough Putin Q&A Talking Points.”
