‘Gotta go!’: Jill Biden cuts press Q&A on price hikes short so she and Joe can hit the beach

President Joe Biden was grilled by the press over skyrocketing inflation and horrendous gas prices as he prepped to depart with wife and cat in tow to the beach, but the first lady was having none of it.

As he stood outside Marine One while first cat Willow was being loaded on board, the media peppered him with questions on the economy. Jill Biden cut them off telling her husband, “We gotta go!” It appeared to be one more instance of the first lady stepping in to rescue her husband from the big bad press and their probing questions as they flew off to their Delaware home for Father’s Day and their 45th anniversary.

On Friday, Biden got very testy with the media over inflation and was less than honest about it, calling it a worldwide problem while not addressing his own handling of the emergency. He essentially claimed it wasn’t his fault and blamed oil companies for rising gas prices.

“It should not be this high,” the president curtly told reporters. “They’re making exorbitant profits, number one. Number two, I’ve contacted them, my team has, to ask what their plans are and to give any suggestions they have.”

“There are 9,000 leases — 9,000 — that they can drill … but they’re not doing it,” he added.

“Number three, I think we’re going to be in a position where we’re gonna…” Biden started as the first lady intervened, nudging him to Marine One. He took a final question about when he would visit India, waffling and saying he would at some point.

He also warned US citizens to not go to Ukraine as he told the press he had no idea where three missing Americans are in the country. There are reports floating around that they have been captured by Russians.

Biden told reporters, “I have been briefed” about US citizens being captured in Ukraine, but “we don’t know where they are. But I want to reiterate: Americans should not be going to Ukraine now.”

Biden defended his upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia next month where he will meet with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, presumably to beg for oil. He has been rebuffed by the Saudis a number of times previously over the issue.

“I’m not going to meet with MBS. I’m going to an international meeting and he’s going to be part of it,” Biden clarified.

The president has been heavily criticized for frequent trips to his Delaware home. He spent approximately one-quarter of his first year in office at the home on the beach, according to the New York Post. Very little is known about visitors, official meetings, or less formal lobbying attempts that took place there.

In April, the Secret Service unbelievably claimed to the New York Post that it had “no records” of visitors to Biden’s two Delaware residences and could not turn over that information in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

Biden admitted in an interview with the Associated Press on Thursday that Americans are “really, really down,” referring to their morale over the state of the economy. He then asserted that the blame for the 41-year high inflation rate could not be placed squarely on him.

“Isn’t it kind of interesting? If it’s my fault, why is it the case in every other major industrial country in the world that inflation is higher? You ask yourself that? I’m not trying to be a wise guy,” he told AP White House reporter Josh Boak.

His approval ratings are continuing to crater. A USA Today poll that came out Friday shows that only 39 percent of Americans approve of Biden’s overall performance in office. Forty-seven percent “strongly” disapprove of his actions as president. Sixteen percent inconceivably “strongly” approve of what he is doing.

  1. A lease is not a permit to drill. It is just an advantage to assess if the land is worth drilling onroduction, r. Leases by themselves mean nothing with regard to oil production. You need permits to drill and biden knows it or he is just trying to plat you

  2. jill is the reason joe was pushed to run the country & she proved she is the snake in the grass with help from obumo & susan rice to secretly run the country for their masters the evil elites to destroy america’s economy to have citizens rely on the evil gov’t to support them, it’s all about control , these gas prices & all other problems is just to make the elites richer to create more poor citizens while they all run to their bunkers when SHTF

  5. “The blame game is over” (copied from the article). NO IT IS NOT. That’s all Slo Joe has in his pocket. As long as he is president and controlled by the puppeteers in the WH, it will continue. And one congressperson will not make a difference either.

  6. Google pay 97$ per hour my last pay check was $8500 working 1o hours a week online. My younger brother friend has been averaging 12k for months now and he works about 22 hours a week. I cant believe how easy it was once I tried it outit..
    :) AND GOOD LUCK.:)

  7. I get paid more than $120 to $130 per hour for working online. I heard about this job 3 months ago and after joining this i have earned easily $15k from this without having online working skills.

    This is what I do………….. http://Www.livejob247.com

  9. And the Left/Democrats had the nerve to criticize Trump about ANYTHING!!!!! Hypocrisy doesn’t begin to cover the shameful actions of the Left/Democrats and lamestream media and how they have been acting since Trump came down that escalator. In my 70 years I’ve never been so ashamed of my country, its political party and its media!

    Then on top of all that, 81 million voted for Joey. I find that really hard to believe. America has become a third world toilet country as far as our government and media are concerned. The voters better wake up come November.

  10. Elder Abuse …he is senile and she knows it….and its abuse against the American people

  12. With the exception of two “Myrtle Beach” weekends, we haven’t had a real vacation since 2015, the year obamacare’s worthless coverage almost killed my wife, and we were financially ruined for again being worthless insurance That just 4 days in close to 7 years … all awhile the obamas took luxuray vacations that cost us tax payers over $126K per hour … let that sink in $126K per hour, and their stays usually lasted a week (7 days) at a cost of close to $22 Million dollars a week ! Now Brandon an Lucy (Lucy was the fake “shrink” in the peanutz comics) took yet another vacation. I believe that be it a business owner or POTUS … no time off for ANY TYPE of a vacation until the root causes of the trouble is found, and the cure completed. Then … if a cure isn’t found and quickly … you resign or be fired !

  14. I guess these so-called Americans got tired of winning. Amazingly drastic reversal from Trumps America First. Contrary to what the twit on the Five had to say , she responds to justify Bidens ineptness by suggesting that the Netherlands and the Philippines are both global industrial bases. Yea , ok, so is Zimbabwe and Honduras . But I do feel badly (laughingly) for Bidens Press Secretaries. They really have bitten off more than they can chew. Can you imagine trying to cover this guys tracks and put a positive spin on his stupidity and lies? Thats a 48 hr a day job with absolutely no gain or satisfaction at the end of the day. The LONG DAY! Not to mention tthat they walk away with their credibility totally extinguished.

  15. welcome to Brandon’s America. no different than Obama’s America except joe did something that Barry couldn’t do get gas to 5 dollars a gallon. go Brandon.

    Elections have consequences, and the biggest consequence of 2020 is the destruction of the US by the senile puppet and his socialist masters

    They bleed us dry. My tax rate is 40% and my healthcare is now $700 per month thanks to Obamacare. My gym is still $20/month from Planet Fitness and my car insurance is still just $25/month (thanks to Insurance Panda), but if you look at Dem cities like Detroit and New Orleans, where car insurance will run you at least $300 per month, I bet that will go up soon too. Oh yeah – did I mention it costs $100 to fill up my small pickup now??

  17. She’s probably instructed to not allow him to speak to the press so the “fixers” have less to fix if he is not allowed to embarrass himself (and the country) with his useless babble.

  18. Whoever is in charge has the nuclear football. Even his handlers know he’s insane. Preposterous.

  19. “We don’t know where the two American soldiers are, but not to worry he screamed, I leave no man behind. Like Afghanistan man, I’ve got your back he screamed”. Babysitter Jill then grabbed the stiffs arm…”honey, we have to go. The beach is waiting. You know how much you love the beach. Your bike is all cleaned up and waiting”. Joe then asked, “how about ice cream, do they have ice cream”?

  20. And yet…there are still a few people that think he’s something more than a shill in the White House. Never underestimate how, in some cases, dumb they are…and in other cases how sinister and treacherous they are.

  21. I would like to know who the 16% are that approve of what Biden is
    doing!!

    2. If you want the answer, just watch “Watters World” doing street interviews. They are so utterly clueless of current events and void of any knowledge of civics, that it’s beyond laughable. And….they are allowed to vote.

    3. Obviously, they have no financial problems or struggling with this economy. The average citizen is struggling and cannot (in their right minds) be supportive of this administration’s policies.

  22. Don’t mess with jill’s vacation time! Life in the White House is grueling, and she needs her getaways to recharge. After all it was already 11 AM on a Friday…
