LETTER: Is Joe Biden sliding downhill?

I retrieve Hillary Clinton’s statesmanlike run advertisement from May 2008. A telephone is ringing successful a chamber (supposed to beryllium the White House) and the narrator proclaims that, “It’s 3 a.m., and determination is simply a situation determination successful the world.” He past asks, “Who bash you privation answering that phone?”

I watched President Joe Biden’s caller CNN municipality hallway where, similar successful galore of his nationalist appearances, helium continues to amusement an alarming inability to enactment connected message, retrieve the question oregon adjacent talk coherently. Regardless of your governmental affiliation, we request to measurement back, enactment our bias speech and deliberation astir the ramifications if that telephone does ring. What are the cognitive abilities of whoever is picking it up?

Mr. Biden’s evident degradation is not his fault. However, successful his unsocial presumption arsenic president, the consequences of ignoring oregon attempting to screen it up is surely not going unnoticed by our enemies, possibly with irreversible and catastrophic consequences for each the world.
