The take away that the American people should have from watching President Biden's Nato Press Conference is not that the President is unfit to be President or is incompetent and should be removed from office it is that he has what is common, age related physical and cognitive ability loss which makes him a weak actually an unqualified candidate to run for another four year term as President. A President within reasonable bounds of human ability has to be able to analyze incoming things or challenges well on his feet or contemporaneously, and in that same time frame chart an optimally prudent course of action and timely proceed to implement that action. President no longer reliably has that ability; moreover, he no longer reliably has the ability to fully consider scrutiny to his set positions that offer better policy positions for the country.
One example of this is that President Biden said he was staying in the Presidential race but he also said he released his delegates at the convention to vote their conscience. You either stay in the race and follow the electoral system where delegates vote the way the voters in their state voted or you get out of the race and release the delegates to vote their conscience. What President Biden just did was invite some radical progressive like California Gavin Newsome who has no chance of winning the general election for one reason, Americans across the nation don't want the alarmingly bad things in California to spread across the nation, to mount a campaign to seek the nomination at the Democrat convention and in so doing he will offer a lot of policy proposals that will have great appeal to segments of the Democrat electorate but are not viable or good policies overall for the nation and it will end up weakening the ultimate Democrat Presidential campaign leaving the convention as Newsome's voters stay home during the election because of disillusionment with the Democrat Presidential nominee!
Weakness abounded in President Joe Biden's performance last evening. Besides the not strong persona he projected during the vent with his low voice and lack of forceful and strongly persuasive responses. Further what a dumb policy proposal to limit corporate landlords to a five percent yearly cap increase; it is like something the White House staff cooked in the last couple of days for the Press conference to score points. First, such a cap would cause these corporate landlords when the first offer a rental for rent to jack up the rent as high as the market will bear because they will be stuck with the cap, it will cause corporate landlords that need to do capital improvements on the property to avoid so because they cannot pay for it in rent increases because of the cap and if you make this an exception to the cap you open up a lot of gamesmanship and also you probably won't save a lot of tenants from rent increases because after a few years the Corporate landlord will sell the rental property because there is a lot of locked in value in the property because the new owner can dramatically increase the rent to match market value and is not restrained by the cap! A smart President who wasn't a Progressive figure-head Progressive because he is mentally infirmed President would have recognized this as an impractical gimmick. President Biden said he thinks he is a strong President because he created two thousand jobs last week, Joe get a clue the nation you lead has three hundred and fifty million people in it you need to be creating at least fifty-thousand jobs per week to be doing a good job.
Democrats that think Joe Biden is a rock star Presidential candidate need to consider how other responsible Americans perceive his claims. President Biden claims he implemented a lot of his plans and needs a second term to get the job done. First off Joe's plan the three or six "trillion" dollar Build Back Better plan was gutted a third or less finally made law and only because it was boot strapped to a must pass Pandemic relief bill, the inflation reduction act. That bill cemented President Biden as reckless spending Progressive Democrat namely one group of provisions prove this the "give away" to the Union pensions. Joe egregiously violated the sacred precedent on this issue which is union's when you negotiate pensions and you don't negotiate adequate funding of those pensions and you have to go into the nation's Pension safety net program you have to take a pension haircut it still leaves the pensioners with a good safety net pension. Joe should have just filled the financial hole in the nation's pension safety net program and not bailed out the Union pension plans and eliminated an important moral hazzard that Unions got to get into their labor agreements guarantees their pensions will be funded. President Biden claims he is this Legislative President Svengali, two major legislative accomplishments during his three and a half years in office the bipartisan chip Act and the bipartisan infrastructure bills deserve to be equally credited to the extraordinary act of virtue of moderate Republicans that weathered the extreme criticism from wide swaths of their Party to cross the aisle and vote for these packages. By the way to these Americans it has not missed their purview how the Biden Administration has weakened the positive effect of the bill by mandating the chip manufacturers investing in the U.S. not sell chips from their plant to China; the key problem here is that the Administration is not limiting this restriction to specialized chips used for surveillance or military application where China could not get anywhere else the Administration is just impeding these Chip manufacturers business with imprudent political pandering anti-China policies.
President Biden condemned the Bush/Obama policies on Afghanistan saying we should have just killed Osama Bin Laden the head of al qaeda the terrorist group responsible for 9-11 and left Afghanistan to their life in the Middle Ages fate. The foreign policy guru, Joe, is not right on this policy position. America made an abundance of policy blunders on Afghanistan, the leaders of Afghanistan bear the Lion's share of culpability in the Afghan peoples tragic fate but the American government bears a huge amount of culpability. First off the American government should not have been paying security protection money for the construction of infrastructure projects in Afghanistan which was funneled back to the Taliban. Also, the American government every year should have come upon the Afghanistan government like King Kong and Godzilla from the 1960s and 1970s monster movies when it came to yearly funding and aid about making their constitution one that extricated every scintilla of provisions which say the Islamic religion is supreme law in any area of civil rights, the Afghan constitution should have made and emphatically so civil rights especially women's civil rights take precedence over Islamic law no exceptions; how can America ally in a war for a country whose constitution provides for and protects the evil society of the enemy in the war whose aim is to spread the evil society across the entirety of the country. America should have never agreed to release five thousand Taliban fighters prior to them leaving they should have left that decision to the Afghan government. The American government should have demanded the battle testing of local Afghanistan military units, rotating them to the battle front and after recognizing their reliability shortcomings should have rebuilt the Northern Alliance militias to give Afghanis in the north of Afghanistan the power to avoid Taliban rule.
One area of President Biden's comments would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad when he claims why is everyone getting so anxious and desperate about the election race the campaign season hasn't even begun yet it will start after the conventions and in September. Is he kidding he cannot be serious, American citizens are formulating their decisions on the next election continually when they go into the supermarket to buy food and cannot get over the increase in prices and they hear the current President say inflation is not a problem and the guy looks like he is a resident of a nursing home looking to find out where one of the social events scheduled that day will be held. The vast vast majority of Americans who are a no vote on Joe Biden for this year Presidential election are a hard no and ain't changing their mind because of a great campaign staff or $250 million in the bank to be spent on commercials that will begin their real work in September. One last point, many of the "let's stick with Joe" Democrats say we have to respect the primary process it is about respecting Democracy it is about not disenfranchising tens of millions of registered Democrat Americans that voted in the primary for Joseph Biden to be their nominee! Do these Democrats not think a fraud was committed on the Democrat base and the entire American people about the physical and mental condition of Joe "they should" the evidence compellingly establishes it. In the past week in the TV and print media the American people have learned that the top staff of the White House was conducting a top priority and extensive campaign to hide the mental and physical deterioration of President Biden. The staff tried to prevent access to the President when access did occur they tried to limit the length of that access and tried to see that a script was followed and staff was kept close to the President so that if he was having a cognitive issue episode a staff member could help him. The truth of the matter is that if the American people knew a year ago what they know today about Joe's mental and physical health, he would have been primaried by competitive contenders would have done as expected in the expected debates and would not be the presumptive nominee because he would have been fairly deemed not qualified to fill out another four year term as President and too weak a candidate for the general election!
