By Ray Cardello for August 19, 2023, Season 21 / Post 25

When people talk about Joe Biden’s ability or suitability to be President for another term, the focus is always on his age. There is always a debate about how old is too old for someone to sit in the Oval Office, but that is not necessarily a fair debate. Age is a number and does not tell the whole story. You can take two men or women born on the same day but have entirely different physical and cognitive levels. You must look at a broad spectrum of qualities to determine when someone cannot assume responsibility or do the job. In the case of Joe Biden, he is an example of an old 80-year-old with advanced stages of the aging process, both physically and mentally. But age is masking the more significant reasons that Joe Biden should not be President of the United States. Competence, Vision for the Country, Decision Making Ability, and Quality of Character are the characteristics of Joe Biden that Americans should be concerned with and which Democrats and the media are sheltering us from. That has to change, as the future of America hinges on the results of the 2024 Presidential Election.

I must preface my comments by confessing I do not believe Joe Biden is performing the duties of President. I do not profess to know who is pulling Biden’s strings, but he is clearly not in control of his faculties to make decisions. Joe Biden is the face of a more significant force, and he and his family are complicit in this effort to finish the job of transforming the country started by Barack Obama. The Bidens are performing their roles for the monetary gain their cooperation enables. It is a sad and dangerous situation with catastrophic possibilities for the country. Thirty-five to forty percent of Americans have no comprehension of the damage Joe Biden and his administration have done and its impact on our future. The ramifications are staggering, and our task is to illuminate the situation for those in the dark.

The Economy

Bidenomics is a farce and does not work for America. The out-of-control spending on programs like the Infrastructure and Inflation Reduction Act has put us into an inflationary period that harms every American, specifically low and middle-income families. Inflation is a false number that does not include the critical areas that impact all Americans, like energy and food. These two areas have the most significant impact on our spending ability and disproportionately affect lower-income people. Gas prices are rising quickly, and our options are limited now that we are again dependent on OPEC.

The Green Biden

Cars, air conditioners, washers/dryers, gas stoves, and any other appliance Biden can think of is a target for extinction as we know them. Americans are not ready for these expensive and inefficient alternatives in our lives. Biden now admits his Inflation Reduction Act was poorly named and is more accurately a green energy plan. He lied to America, but then we should have seen that coming. If America were ready to buy into the Climate Change crisis, the Government would not have to mandate or force these changes on us.

Biden Vision

Biden sees America as a more Progressive Socialistic country with Government making the decisions for us. America does not share this vision, so why do these Democrat politicians who do get re-elected.? Again, it goes to the ignorance of the American electorate.

Decision Making Ability

Look no further than the debacle in Afghanistan, his destruction of our Borders, ignoring Fentanyl and the American drug addiction epidemic, and the plight of the homeless to see the impacts of poor Biden decisions. He is on the wrong side of most issues that affect all Americans.

Quality of the Individual

Biden is a corrupt manipulator. He has managed to stay under the radar for fifty years and convince America that he has their best interest in mind. Joe does not. He has the Biden coffers in focus. He is using the arms of the Government against his challengers and adversaries. He is a proponent of our Education system indoctrinating our children and severing family ties to better control the youth.

Look past his age, and there is little that makes Joe Biden a good choice for President. Now we just have to convince Americans that our options are better. A tall task but one we must undertake.
