Joe Biden: More Heel Than Healer

... It is becoming obvious that in Biden’s rare scripted addresses, the “message” tends to lose relevance because it is so often compromised by caveats. Anyway, no matter what the subject, Biden sees himself as a calming, steady influence, the “adult in the room.” Anything he proposes is simply by way of righting the Draconian policies he inherited. He promises that we’ll smile again and glimpse that proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. He helps himself to credit where it is not due. He pretends to have a firm grip on the ball his predecessor dropped.

But Biden’s flat delivery, blank stare, general confusion, and tortured shuffle defy his hopeful pronouncements. All his deliberations about how “we” have to come together and how “this is America, after all,” is nothing but trite tripe, cooked up by his speechwriters. In reality, Uncle Joe, having already broken many of his campaign promises, is more a heel than a healer.

... Meanwhile, Democrats who publicly pretend to be in denial are privately in distress. The 2020 presidential race put them in dilemma mode. While they knew the score about Biden’s infirmity, they also knew, more importantly, that none of the other Democrat primary challengers could put enough points on the scoreboard to win the presidency.

Power being everything in politics, they considered a dim bulb better than none. Settling on Joe Biden for president was a matter of pride going before a fall election. His family and friends knew of his condition. So, surely, did his doctors. But during what passed for a presidential campaign, Joe found that being “locked down” in the comfort of his own home worked to his advantage. His speeches were infrequent, brief, read listlessly from a teleprompter, and poorly attended.

... Yet the president’s physical and mental shortcomings -- when even acknowledged by his supporters -- are dismissed as the exaggerations of hateful, vindictive, even “terrorist” Trump supporters.

Conveniently, Democrats are doubling down on the double standard to which they have grown accustomed. From as early as the year of Trump’s election, his critics -- from politicians to psychologists -- demanded he undergo a physical and psychological evaluation to assess his “fitness” to serve as POTUS. Even after this was accomplished two years later, Trump-haters refused to accept the results.

... Now I look at the man who is president, and I feel afraid. Somebody is pulling Joe Biden’s strings with one hand and America’s leg with the other. I don’t think he will last long. I only hope America lasts longer. (read more)
