During a press briefing, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy mistakenly combined the names of President Biden and former President Obama, calling Biden “Obiden.”
The room erupted in laughter, and despite the serious subject matter, the exchange became popular on social media.
The incident is humorous because of the perception that the Biden administration is akin to a third Obama term, given Biden’s staff choices and Obama’s recent collaboration with Biden on addressing artificial intelligence concerns. (Trending: Kid Rock Rages Against ‘Woke’ Target)

“Is President Obiden — Is President Biden OK,” said Doocy slowly while surrounded by giggles.
“Yes,” answered Jack Kirby, acknowledging Fox News’ focus on Joe Biden’s health.
“That’s good. That’s a big story for us. Is the president –” Doocy started.

“And only you,” mocked Biden’s security advisor.
This suggests a continuity between the two administrations, and the slip of the tongue hints at the idea that someone may be pulling the strings for Biden.
Obama joked with Stephen Colbert in 2020, “If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a frontman or frontwoman, and they had an earpiece in, and I was just in my basement in my sweats, looking through the stuff, then deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking — I’d be fine with that.”
