Joe Biden placed himself in danger’s reach when he introduced Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky with the words: “Ladies and gentlemen, President
Putin!” President Joe Biden’s forgetfulness will one day lead him to the brink’s edge.
BY SUSHIL KUTTY :
The truth is, the Joe
with “vim and vigour” is
a thing of the past. And
but for the calamitous
June 27 debate,
Democrats wouldn’t be
in the ‘Panic Room’. A
defiant Joe Biden is no
panacea for the
Democrats’ troubles.
Also, President Joe
Biden has heard so
much about
Vice-President Kamala
Harris replacing him at
the top of the ticket
that he’s beyond
embarrassment.
P
RESIDENT Joe Biden
is in no mood to step
away from the race.
Not for the sake of
Vice President
Kamala Harris nor for making
the “Vice President Donald J
Trump” gaffe. President Joe
Biden mixed up names and
titles at the NATO presser in
Washington DC, where he
answered tricky questions and
defended his mental acuity.
One skeptical journalist wrote
that President Joe Biden
“dropped the Ming vase” and
then spent the rest of the presser putting it back in shape.
If the Biden-Trump debate
left Democrats in panic, after
the NATO display, Chinese
President Xi Jinping and
Russian President Vladimir
Putin wouldn’t want President
Joe Biden to be replaced at the
top of the Democrat ticket. In
any case, Biden says there is
no way he will quit the race.
But Biden’s friend, George
Clooney, the ‘Ocean Eleven’
actor, says Biden is all at sea
and should call it a day.
Clooney penned an op-ed in
the ‘New York Times’ to catch
Biden’s attention which is firmly fixed on becoming the“47th”.
But Clooney and half the
Democratic line-up appearing
on Fox, CNN,ABC and NBC, not
to mention CBS and MSNBC,
want President Joe Biden to
take Clooney’s hint and get the
hell out.
The evening prime-time also
is concerned about President
Joe Biden’s cognitive ability to
negotiate the slippery slope
ahead. Republican Party rival
and candidate Donald Trump
watched Joe’s presser on TV
and didn’t mind Joe demoting
him to “Vice President”. Also,
Kamala Harris will be excused
if she sues President Biden for
mistakenly mentioning her as
“Vice President Donald
Trump”.
Reports say Vice President
Kamala Harris is being “secretly tested” to find out if she
would be a fit replacement for
“Candidate Biden”.Will the test
be carried out at the
Democratic National
Convention? President Joe
Biden will face the test of his
life and Kamala Harris wouldn’t mind if she’s the centre of
attention. “President Harris”
sounds fine to all manner of
tongues, Ukrainian or Pidgin
Mandarin.
At the NATO Summit presser, President Joe Biden ruled out
any surprises at the Democratic
convention. But then, Joe Biden
placed himself in danger’s
reach when he introduced
Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky
with the words: “Ladies and
gentlemen, President Putin!”
President Joe Biden’s forgetfulness will one day lead him
to the brink’s edge.
Fact is, if President Joe Biden
answered questions at the
NATO Summit without slipping off- stage, it didn’t mean
he wasn’t on the brink. Biden
corrected himself after the
Putin slip-up, but Biden was living up to his gaffe-prone age –
81 going on 82! Was his performance up to expectations?
Perhaps Hunter or Jill Biden
would be able to answer better except that both have a conflict of interest.
The truth is, the Joe with“vim
and vigour” is a thing of the past.
And but for the calamitous June
27 debate, Democrats wouldn’t be in the‘Panic Room’. A defiant Joe Biden is no panacea for
the Democrats’ troubles. Also,
President Joe Biden has heard
so much about Vice-President
Kamala Harris replacing him
at the top of the ticket that he’s
beyond embarrassment.
“Look, I wouldn’t have picked
Vice-President Trump to be
Vice President if I didn’t think
she was qualified to be
President,” Joe replied, leaving
everybody in the room in consternation.
Thankfully, Vice President
Harris was made of sterner
stuff. Mistaking the “59-yearold Black woman” for the “78-
year-old orange-man” was akin
to blasphemy but in the “pin
drop”, the only person unaware
of the gaffe was the gaffe-prone
President of the United States.
Also, downtownWashington
gave President Biden slack. Joe’s
friends say he should quit the
race while he still can walk!
After all, what are friends for?
One reporter wrote of the “frog
in Joe’s throat” and didn’t find
Joe’s “whispering habit” badwear! At one point, President
Biden said, “I’m following the
advice of my commander-inchief.” Nobody flinched. Not
even when he settled for an
“anyway” and left it hanging.
‘Ocean’s Eleven’ star George Clooney should have been on
stage to rescue Biden though
Biden wasn’t all at sea all the
time. His decades-long experience in diplomacy, going backto the time of Golda Meir, stoodby his stead all through thepresser. And he had a goodgrasp of almost all the international issues dogging theUnited States.
Trump will have to steal talking points from Biden’s presser to beat Biden in the game.
Will Trump be able to bestBiden? Biden was asked if hewas “damaging America’sstanding in the world?” andBiden laughed.“Did you see anydamage to our standing in myleading this conference? Haveyou seen a more successful
conference? Find me a worldleader who didn’t think it was.”Once bitten by the presidential bug, President Joe Bidenis not twice shy. His hunger tobe President for a second timeis stronger than all the cries
demanding he step down forthe sake of party and country,
not “putting his own interestsahead of the nation.” It is hardto believe but President Bidensays he starts at 7 am and is uptill midnight. “I’m not in thisfor my legacy, I am in this tocomplete the job I started.”
So, what’s the job he started? NATO, China, Israel, Russiaand also ‘India’. Bidentakes pride he rebuilt alliancesand he enjoys the near-total
harmony he has with leadersof the world. There were 11reporters at the NATO presser.
Will President Joe Biden, likeDanny Ocean in ‘Ocean’sEleven’, make a getaway withthe biggest political heist inyears?
