They seem to have missed a few things in it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The White House transcript made nine corrections to President Biden\u2019s gaffe-filled speech to the NAACP on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>One notable one included his suggestion he was vice president during the COVID-19 pandemic, which began nearly four years after he left office.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, the White House\u2019s correction implied that Biden intended to say &#8220;recession,&#8221; referencing the Great Recession when he assumed the vice presidency in 2009.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Recession. Pandemic. Yeah, they look alike. Even spelled and pronounced similarly. Uh, no. Biden makes Norm Crosby look like Demosthenes.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Other fixed gaffes included Biden claiming that families saved $800,000 per year from the Affordable Care Act, insisting that he&#8217;s fighting corporate landlords who &#8220;keep rents down&#8221; and incorrectly calling the group &#8220;the NAAC.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>NINE gaffes in one speech&#8230; And if you think he can say anything coherent outside the teleprompter, here&#8217;s a highlight from last month:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Imagine what we could do next.
