Biden officials 'leave him alone' on weekends, adjust schedule to avoid tiring 'an aging president':

Featured Replies

  • Popular Post

President Biden's officials reportedly "leave him alone" as often as they can on the weekends and tend to adjust his schedule to avoid tiring "an aging president," according to the New York Times. 

The outlet reported that officials have said they try to leave the president alone on weekends and tend to schedule all public appearances between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m.  

A Democrat who chose to remain anonymous told the New York Times that Biden's age was a popular discussion topic among prominent members of the party. 

"At a small dinner earlier this year of former Democratic senators and governors, all of them in Mr. Biden’s generation, everyone at the table agreed he was too old to run again. Local leaders often call the White House to inquire about his health," the outlet reported

Even Obama's old doctor agrees biden is beyond "tired" or "aging".

 

"A former White House doctor for presidents Donald Trump and Barack Obama has raised concerns over Joe Biden's health and said it is 'malpractice' to allow him to seek re-election.  

Texas congressman Ronny Jackson has claimed he is 'not fit mentally or physically' to lead the country and 'it's a bad situation for us'. 

The now-Republican politician slammed White House officials for allowing Biden, 80, to run for a second term and said those close to him like his wife Jill should be stopping him. "

LOL please don't quote this conspiracey theorist..............

 

Obama’s former aides angry, hurt over Ronny Jackson’s embrace of Trump’s conspiracy theories

Former Obama officials expressed anger and a sense of betrayal after onetime White House doctor Ronny L. Jackson echoed President Trump’s baseless conspiracy theories about their former boss, President Barack Obama.

Seemingly always in a bad temper and being shouty. And you call it "Trump's conspiracy theory" in noticing there is a problem????

I don't credit your opinion too much with your links. That's a deliberate personal comment by the way, part of a normal response to the conspiracy theorist you linked to.

LBJ announced he would be withdrawing in late March 1968. That timeline is almost 10 months from now. I expect the same from Biden. Any sooner makes him a long time lame duck. That's if he can make it that long.

So, another words she'll be told to keep her mouth shut and let the grown ups run things. I'm OK with that, I guess.

She polled at zero percent in the 2020 primaries. Her own party rejected her.

I don’t suppose the Daily Mail gave an explanation of how ‘allowing Biden to seek re-election’ is ‘malpractice’?

 

Which particular clause within regulations governing medical practice cover Doctors having any say beyond their citizen’s vote as to May or may not run for POTUS.

God, I love this spin.  The president IS on call 24 hours, it is part of the job.  I seem to remember political ads from days gone by saying, "if the phone in the WHite House rings at 3;00am, who do YOU want to answer it?"

 

Joe is old. Very old. Older than any president in history. Older than others who sought the presidency but were decried as "too old" (John McCain?). 

 

He falls down a lot. You can tell by the way he walks that he is unsteady on his feet. He mumbles (not due to stuttering). He forgets very basic things (the details of his eldest son's tragic death).  He refuses to meet the press in any meaningful way. He refuses to sit down for interviews with anyone who might ask a tough question. His press availabilities are more scripted than May Day in Beijing. 

 

He needs to go and the Democrats need to have an open, honest primary to pick a candidate. Even a large number of Democrats agree.

In all seriousness, if he was my father I wouldn't let him boil the kettle. Or drive a car. 

 

How can someone with such cognitive deterioration be allowed to run a country?

 

I can only assume it's very convenient for the people behind him who are pulling his strings. They can write his speeches, decide on his policy direction without being in the public eye and doing all the public engagements. Not exactly great for Democracy though...

If you really believe that any president makes his own negotiations, then you must live in a different universe.

 

Why you think a president is surrounded with such large teams of advisors and lawyers?

 

But I agree, he joined all the meetings without falling out of his chair, that alone is an achievement.

Fox News again....come on.  They have clearly demonstrated from the Dominion case that they are not a news organization.  They traffic in right wing talking points and are prone to "make up" stuff.  When it comes to politics, Fox News is simply not credible.

So he likes to take a break at weekends (unless it is an emergency, I am sure). Everyone has weekend breaks and has for many years.

The issue is, does his age prevent him from attending meetings that are in his calendar? Did it stop him from achieving much more than  previous incumbents?  George W. Bush spent more than a year of his presidency at Camp David -- 387 days, either entirely or partially. 

It looks suspiciously like other politicians are creating the gossip.

Absolutely.  Get a good team in place and let them do their jobs.  No need for a president to micro-manage everything.

Oh, Faux News. There's a reliable source.

Still not as much as Biden. And Camp David is at least an official residence, not just a beach house.  

 

Not to mention the 10 to 4 daily schedule and minimal interactions with the press. You can see his schedule here;

Nothing before 1000am, and that is just a daily briefing.
