Biden demonstrated his arrogance while speaking at the Tribal Nations Summit on Wednesday. He did his usual pandering, noting that his wife, Jill Biden, was in “Indian country” attending a funeral, but quickly moved on to claim that he has done more than any previous president.
“I’m sure I’ll make mistakes, but you know me. Don’t hesitate to correct me when I make them. I know you; you won’t hesitate. I really mean it. Well, I’ll tell you what: No one has ever done as much as President as this administration is doing. Period. Period. (Applause.) I am committed. ”
He continued, “And as my grandfather, Finnegan would say, “That’s the Irish of it.” Thank you all very much.”

Partial Transcript from WhiteHouse.Gov:
BIDEN: You’ve seen Jill. You’ve seen my wife, Jill, in Indian Country. She’s at a funeral this morning for the mother of a friend of ours. And — but I’ve spent a lot of — she’s spent a lot of time — I’ve spent a lot of time in Indian Country as a senator and vice president. But I can say here today I intend to make official presidential visits to Indian Country to make it official. (Applause.) Let’s do it.
And I will do so in the enduring spirit of our nation-to-nation relationship — the spirit of friendship, stewardship, and respect. It’s taken too long for us to recognize this is the only way to move forward, but my administration is doing all it can to demonstrate our commitment to those timeless ideals.
So, thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for your leadership. Thank you for your partnership. And I’m sure I’ll make mistakes, but you know me. Don’t hesitate to correct me when I make them. I know you; you won’t hesitate. (Laughter.) But I really mean it.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: You got that right!
THE PRESIDENT: I really mean it. Well, I’ll tell you what: No one has ever done as much as President as this administration is doing. Period. Period. (Applause.) I am committed.
And as my grandfather Finnegan would say, “That’s the Irish of it.” Thank you all very much. (Applause.)
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Four more years!
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, I don’t know about that.
