President Biden addressed the nation this evening – some words were eloquent, some were slurred, but no words answered the basic question: why is he not running for re-election?
It was a cop out of epic proportions and made little sense. If, as he claimed during the speech, everything in the country was going so well, that he has made so much legislative progress, why step aside?
First – and most astonishingly - nothing about his health, his one pretty much legitimate reason for dropping out. He hasn’t been up for the job for years and he jumped out because of it, but there was literally no mention of senility/Parkinson’s/whatever at all.
Then why leave, Joe?
You claim you did good and you implied there is no health issue, so why are you leaving, Joe?
Wednesday, he looked better than in the debate with Donald Trump – at least his skin color was normal for him. He did have a blinking issue – it didn’t happen as much as it normally should – but at least the eyes weren’t jet black.
It was time the pass the torch, it was time to put “hope over hate,” it was time to ensure America was the “leisure (sic, one hopes) of the free world.” – that’s what Biden said – in trying to hand the baton to Kamala Harris
But his endorsement of Kamala was less than ringing – looking through his blank eyes, one could see the resentment of his being forced to “hand over the torch” to someone just because they seemed younger and blacker and possibly just a hair more electable than him.
He didn’t thank his supporters. He didn’t thank his family. He didn’t thank his staff, He didn’t thank his doctor. He didn’t mention Hunter. He even didn’t mention Dr. Jill.
And – again – he never said WHY he was leaving.
Going into the speech, one expected something along the lines of “my doctor’s just told me I have Parkinson’s so I’m good for six months but not for another term,” then a thanks to Kamala, heartily endorse her, thank everyone he has ever known, and move on.
Nope – Narcissist Joe prevailed tonight.
His announcement involved nothing other than vague references to country and democracy but went no further, leaving a very simple question: why, if you, Joe Biden, are still so capable and you Joe Biden are the incumbent President of the United State – why are you not running?
To be blunt, I expected to write a piece this evening about a health excuse – true or not. I did not this evening. expect to write this piece.
The speech showed very clearly that Biden is an incompetent, a thief, a liar and personally hateful and vicious – and utterly terrified of the moment he is no longer in public office.
If you happen to own a liquor store, don’t cash one of his brother’s checks tonight.
The Bidens are DONE.
And that speech may take Kamala with them.
