Can’t find baby formula? Don’t blame Joe Biden — he’s not a “mind reader.”
Around the nation, parents are scooping up formula wherever they can find it. Social media groups are directing mothers to stores that have stock of the brands not affected by the massive Abbott Nutrition recall and the closure of a formula production plant.
Articles are popping up all over the place warning parents about the dangers of making their own powder.
It’s taken on the trappings of a national emergency, but the Biden administration says there’s nothing it could have done — except that one of the top Democrats in the Senate says he pushed the Food and Drug Administration on the issue months ago.

So, here’s the 'president; saying on Friday that, without Amazing Kreskin-esque foresight, he couldn’t have foreseen this happening:
“If we’d been better mind readers, I guess we could have, but we moved as quickly as the problem became apparent to us,” Biden said after he was questioned about the shortage.
“And we have to move with caution as well as speed, because we got to make sure what we’re getting is, in fact, first-rate product. That’s why the FDA has to go through the process.”
