Friday 24 June 2022 04:36 AM Joe Biden accidentally reveals awkward cheat sheet reminding him take YOUR seat ... trends now
President Joe Biden accidentally revealed a cheat sheet on Thursday in which even the smallest details were typed out in bold, ensuring almost nothing was left to chance.
During a meeting with wind-industry executives in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, the president inadvertently flipped his card upon which had been typed stage directions, telling him when to sit and when to ask questions.
Biden, who at the age 79, has a tendency to ramble when not strictly 'on message', had clearly meant to keep the chart close to his chest while hosting the meeting, but it was facing the cameras allowing photographers to snap every minor detail, some of which were particularly comical.
Rather than refer to 'The President' by name, whoever typed up the note had clearly intended it to be for presidential eyes only and instead referred to Biden as 'YOU', in bold, upper case lettering.
President Biden revealed an extraordinarily detailed cheat sheet for his meeting
Eight bullet points reminded him when to sit down and whom to ask questions of. It even detailed his departure and advised him to limit questions to two minutes

The detailed instructions were entitled 'Offshore Wind Drop-By Sequence of Events' and told Biden to 'enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants.'
Then strip of paper then told the president to sit down: 'YOU take YOUR seat', it instructed.
The note then told the president to speak once the reporters had been brought into the room: 'YOU give brief comments (2 minutes)', it detailed.
After the reporters departed, Biden was told to speak to some of those present at the meeting.
'YOU ask Liz Shuler, President, AFL-CIO, a question' and then 'YOU thank participants' and 'YOU depart.'
For all intents and purposes, the meeting appeared to go according to plan with Biden sticking to the script, apart from when he exposed his personalized meeting plan to photographers.
Biden has continued to use such notes throughout his presidency and notes are sometimes handed to him during very public moments.
