Joe Biden, Exit Stage Left |
Former President Joe Biden is 83 years old and suffering from Stage 4 prostate cancer. Sadly, he continues to give public speeches, embarrasses himself, and damages whatever remains of his political legacy.
Biden’s family is guilty of elder abuse for allowing the spectacle of public speeches to continue.
Long ago, Joe Biden should have retired from politics to focus on receiving care for his various mental and physical health problems. Instead, he is still giving high-profile speeches at public gatherings, garnering media attention for the wrong reasons.
On Saturday, Biden gave the keynote address at a gala for the Maryland Democratic Party. At the “Fight Back and Win” summit, Biden delivered a fiery 10-minute speech using a teleprompter. As usual, his speech was hard to understand, as Biden frequently coughed, stammered, and yelled.
Throughout the speech, Biden squinted, cleared his throat, and lost track of his place in the script.
Following his speech, Biden looked confused and pointed in different directions. Eventually, after receiving directions, he exited the stage with his back toward the audience, unlike the other speakers.
This incident was reminiscent of what recently happened at the opening of Barack Obama’s Presidential Center in Chicago, IL. At the conclusion of the event, Biden remained onstage after every other dignitary left, yelling, “Where’s my granddaughter?” Finally, his wife, Jill Biden, met him onstage, took his hand, and guided him toward the exit.
Biden’s stage troubles are nothing new. Throughout his presidency, Biden seemed to have trouble on stage. Either he made a spectacular fall or did not know how to exit. Who can forget Biden turning the wrong way for a group photo at the G7 summit in........
