He was slowing the whole process down for the sake of a photo opportunity, something Obama's irish roots led him to do as well.

Something we all have to get used to again I suppose.

He waited until he was president b4 visiting the home of his irish roots so he could be pictured with a pint of Guinness to appease the irish vote in america.

With a name like O'Bama it was always obvious he was Irish

More embarrassing than musing in front of the world's media about injecting disinfectant to get rid of covid?

You don't have to bit I find it strange that you feel that someone aiding the preparation of food parcels is genuinely embarrassing during a pandemic (albeit for a photo opportunity) but I do not remember similar outrage at Trump. Weird, that's all and as this is a forum to add your thoughts on a thread, I added mine. I didn't realise that in this thread you had to only comment one thing. My bad

well we got one world leader left who said that whom we need to get rid of

yes Bolsonaro looking at you, you gone would make brazil great again (sorry for the pun at the end couldn't resist)

...he was urging people to help out in any way they could and that always carries more weight if seen helping, himself...it may have been a photo opportunity but it was highlighting a positive aspect of essential community thoughtfulness in the care of others...and the US media attention has been so negative and controversial of late, it’s surely important to show that nation of great people ...

[Ammi]

...I mean, it people can get so ‘ughhhh’ about things like this when the important thing is, if it inspires/sparks people to look around their communities at what they can also do and to help ...

Incredible how doing a good deed can still be seen as something sinister by some people , I guess when people hate you they just hate you .

Slowing down the feeding of hungry children is not a good deed.

[bots]

i don't like biden, never have, but he is the right person at this particular moment and he beat Trump which I think would have been difficult for any other dem to do

You can bet your life that donations went up after that though so they will have been able to feed more hungry children. He would have stopped as soon as the cameras stopped rolling so am no children were unduly hurt.

Didn't hear this level.of complaint when boris wss at the vaccination centre last week chatting to the vaccinators whilst the cameras were rolling slowly them down from potentially saving lives here in the UK

I don't understand the cynical attitude here, as mentioned this is a good thing and it highlights charities and hopefully gives more awareness.

"Politician in photo opportunity SHOCK"

I mean... I agree to an extent that he's there in person for the benefit of the press and not because he's an expert box packer but... it's good for stuff like this to be in the press and they need a picture to illustrate. The good press that comes with it is positive both for his image AND for what they are doing, it's quid pro quo, he's not "slowing anything down" to any great extent that isn't heavily outweighed by the positive exposure (for both parties) so what's the problem?
