President Biden was visiting a remote Native American reservation. With news crews following him around as they toured the place, the President asked the chief if there was anything they needed.
"WELL," SAID THE CHIEF, "WE HAVE THREE VERY IMPORTANT NEEDS. FIRST, WE HAVE A MEDICAL CLINIC, BUT NO DOCTOR TO MAN IT.”
Biden whipped out his cellphone, dialed a number, talked to somebody for two minutes, and then hung up. "I've pulled some strings. Your doctor will arrive in a few days.
Now what was the second problem?"
“WE HAVE NO WAY TO GET CLEAN WATER. THE LOCAL MINING OPERATION HAS POISONED THE WATER OUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DRINKING FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. WE'VE BEEN FLYING BOTTLED WATER IN, AND IT'S TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE.”
Once again, Biden dialed a number, yelled into the phone for a few minutes, and then hung up. "The mine has been shut down and the owner is being billed for setting up a purification plant for your people.
Now what was that third problem?"
THE CHIEF LOOKED AT Biden AND SAID, "WE HAVE NO CELLPHONE RECEPTION UP HERE!" --

Tulefell: Do you have anything newer, than that? Walking Eagle, anybody?
Gee, i thought you would have come up with something better ... like... the 46 is high tech equipped and fools everyone using a scrambled satellite phone instead of cellular.

He's such an embarrassment ... I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
