Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy had a hilarious slip of the tongue that left his colleagues in stitches. During a press briefing, Doocy accidentally combined President Joe Biden’s name with that of former President Barack Obama, asking, “Is President Obiden — Is President Biden OK,” which led to laughter in the room. Even National Security Council spokesman John Kirby couldn’t help but crack a smile at Doocy’s blunder.

The exchange quickly became a favorite on social media, with many accounts sharing the clip and finding humor in Doocy’s Freudian slip. The joke spread like wildfire, with news outlets and conservative figures having a field day with the mishap. The moment was so funny because it touched on the widespread belief that the Biden administration is essentially a third term for Obama.
It’s no secret that Obama has maintained his influence in Washington, D.C., and even expressed a willingness to be a “man behind the curtain” for a new president. Biden’s choice to staff his administration with members of the Obama White House further suggests a desire for continuity between the two administrations. Additionally, Obama has played a direct role in collaborating with Biden on addressing emerging artificial intelligence technology.
Doocy’s slip, though comical, sheds light on the underlying truth that many on the left may not want to acknowledge – the strong influence of Obama in the current administration. The laughter from his colleagues only serves to confirm the suspicion that there may be more to the Biden administration than meets the eye. And as always, the truth behind the humor reveals a lot about the current state of American politics.
