Social Media Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Navigating the presidency at an advanced age poses unprecedented challenges, and President Biden finds himself in uncharted waters. As the oldest person ever to serve as president and the oldest to seek re-election, he faces mounting doubts from both supporters and detractors about his ability to lead for another five years. The release of Robert K. Hur's report, characterizing the president as a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," has only exacerbated concerns about his cognitive sharpness and temperament. Despite Mr. Biden's efforts to assure the public of his capabilities during a recent news conference, his emotional and snappish responses have raised further questions about his fitness for office. In the face of these doubts, Mr. Biden must take proactive steps to rebuild trust with the American people. Merely dismissing the report as partisan is insufficient; he must demonstrate his competence through genuine, unscripted interactions with voters and the press. This includes engaging in more town hall meetings, holding regular news conferences, and granting interviews to address concerns head-on. However, Mr. Biden's limited public engagement, coupled with his administration's preference for online outreach over traditional encounters, has contributed to a perception of avoidance. This approach has eroded public confidence and provided fodder for political opponents to exploit. Despite these challenges, Mr. Biden's presidency has seen moments of wisdom and stability, particularly in navigating economic challenges and supporting allies. Yet, he must redouble his efforts to convince the public that he is fully capable of leading the nation until the age of 86. In this pivotal moment, voters are counting on him to provide a compelling alternative to the dangers posed by his predecessor. 12.02.24 Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

248900_1469958220 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Will he debate Trump? Is it something that is par for the course in U.S elections ? If he chooses not to it WILL look bad....Then again, if he does, it probably wont look much better.... Are they willing to let him face off in front of millions against Trump? Whatever you think of Trump, I think he could make Biden look pretty weak and flustered. It would be comedy gold though....you cant deny that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can normally form coherent sentences for an hour or so when he's juiced up so he might well debate. The trouble for Biden is that Trump is far more charismatic and quick witted. So even if they wind him up and wheel him on stage he won't do well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but, is it a necessity for a sitting president to debate his competitors in the year of the election? I dont know how this works. You would think its a good idea.....if not compulsary. However, in this case...if I were Bidens team I wouldnt trust him to be able to handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a massacre of such biblical proportions....I dont think I could even bear to watch it!.....A great start would be Biden finding his way to the podium...after that.....lets hope the earpiece he is wearing has a good wireless connection!

Fat is a type of crazy Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I think as we get closer to the election people will remember the chaos and silliness of Trump - comments like today on NATO kind of stuff - and people will pick an elderly not 100 per cent but stable Biden. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
