President Biden is liked by a lot of people. Governor Pritzker is supposed to have already endorsed his run for a second term. I strongly believe after the exploitation of the USA with Russia during the time Trump was in office, especially with NATO, Joe Biden as president was a brilliant decision by the American people.
I think it is important for the Democratic Party to be comfortable with him in the presidency, but, in all honesty, except for stuttering from time to time there are really no complaints. The stuttering has been a characteristic for all his life, not simply as he aged. A president with a stuttering disability is no one to be ashamed of either. Who really notices?
We as a society have valued longevity for a very long time. The only time longevity was not valued for all Americans is when Trump was in office. He didn't care who lived or died during the global pandemic and it was no error because of age; he just didn't care.
President Joe Biden is just the opposite. He cares a great deal about Americans. Refreshingly, he cares a great deal about the Middle Class. I think the country has vastly improved from the Trump years and it was Joe's leadership that did it. He knows what he is doing. He knows the American people. He has had a great presidency to date. NATO is back and not only back but standing the ground against genocide by a country we once trusted enough to be trade partners.
He wants the gun violence to stop. He knows the climate crisis is real and must be addressed. He is appalled by the decision by the Supreme Court about Roe v. Wade, which was considered settled law. He values everything American and wants peace as a top agenda item, but, he is also realistic in knowing other countries don't care about peace.
I have no problem with President Biden being 79 years old. Correct me if I am wrong, but, isn't Social Security encouraging Americans to work until the age of 75? Isn't the benefit for SSI scaled now to reflect some degree of penalty if one retires at the age of 65. So, what are we saying when we worry about President Biden? Are we saying we are worried about him and his ability to lead longer, or are we saying he is simply to old and we want someone else.
Really? Someone else? Because of age?
Is that who we are? Is that who we really are?
President Joe Biden gets respect from nearly everyone, except, those that want to replace him in 2024 with who? With Donald John Trump.
Really? Trump? Is that who we really are?

Washington - When President Biden (click here) leaves Tuesday night for a four-day swing through the Middle East, he will presumably be more rested than he would have been had he followed the original plan.
The trip was initially tacked onto another journey last month to Europe, which would have made for an arduous 10-day overseas trek until it became clear to Mr. Biden’s team that such extended travel might be unnecessarily taxing for a 79-year-old president, or “crazy,” as one official put it.
Aides also cited political and diplomatic reasons to reorganize the extra stops as a separate trip weeks later. But the reality is that managing the schedule of the oldest president in American history presents distinct challenges. And as Mr. Biden insists he plans to run for a second term, his age has increasingly become an uncomfortable issue for him, his team and his party...
