There seems to be no end in sight for the mind-boggling gaffes and age-related blunders of US President Joe Biden as the octogenarian head of state drops yet another clanger while bragging about a self-concocted analogy between the United States and the rest of the countries around the world.
The very latest installment in the recurring series of Biden attempting to deliver an unrehearsed speech hit a snag on Wednesday when he was speaking near the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge on the Ohio River to highlight his proclaimed success in passing infrastructure funding as well as the significance of bipartisanship with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
While boasting about the virtues of American infrastructure, the 80-year-old president veered off into a “phrase” he claimed to be paraphrasing from his “old neighborhood” by saying the “world is not a patch in our jeans.”
“Our best days are ahead of us. And I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been doing this a long time, folks. Our best days are ahead of us. Are not behind us. I’ve long said. I mean, this. I have never, ever, ever been more optimistic about America’s prospects. And am today. Never. Never. I’ve traveled over 140 countries around the world. I’ll paraphrase the phrase of my old neighborhood: The rest of the countries, the world is not a patch in our jeans, if we do what we wanna do, we need to do,” the US president said.
Biden’s off-the-cuff comment left many social media users struggling to understand what he was saying as a quick Google search turned up zero results for the esoteric expression.

He recalled that the treaty was ratified by both chambers of the Russian parliament, and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed it. At the same time, the document was ratified by the Iranian parliament, approved by the Guardian Council, and the president issued it as a law.
"Therefore, in both countries it currently has the form of a law and, naturally, has entered into force," Jalali said.

Defying the United States threats, ministers from more than 30 nations have packed Bogotá’s San Carlos Palace to charge the Israeli regime with genocide over its October 2023-present brutal military assault against the Gaza Strip.
The dramatic display of international solidarity saw dozens of high-ranking officials from across the globe convene inside the stately palace on Tuesday, determined to hold the regime accountable for, what they unequivocally called, a “war of genocide.”
The two-day emergency summit, organized under the auspices of The Hague Group -- a coalition co-chaired by Colombia and South Africa -- had representatives, ranging from such countries as Algeria and Brazil to Pakistan and Spain, in attendance.
The participants described the drive as a coordinated effort to stop the Israeli atrocities.
