President being kept out of view?

Has there ever been a time in U.S. history when a new President of the United States has been kept out of view?

Even a meeting with the his own party, the Democrats of the U.S. House Democratic Caucus, was cut short yesterday, before lawmakers (I used that term loosely) could ask Pres. Biden any questions. FoxNews covered it. I can't find any mention on CNN of it. 

Who are Biden's handlers that cut short the virtual meeting before questions could be asked? Was VP Harris behind that? Were members of Biden's cabinet behind that? 

Did he really say, "I'd be happy to take questions if that's what I'm supposed to do, Nance. Whatever you want me to do."

Does that sound like the words of an aware, conscious, cognizant, in-control POTUS?

"Whatever you want me to do." 

Seriously?

Every parent, adult, teacher, staffer, student, community member of Richland 2 should be demanding that the President of the USA be out front. In control. Operating as the leader of the free world.

Is Joe Biden capable of that? Many think not.
