Biden tells Democratic governors he got a medical checkup after debate disaster
NY Post ^ | 7/04/24 | Allie Griffin

President Biden told Democratic governors on Wednesday night that he received a medical checkup following last week’s disastrous debate and insisted he’s in good health, according to a report.

But the short doctor’s visit was only to assess an apparent lingering cold and didn’t include any major tests, a source told Politico.

The 81-year-old president’s health disclosure to the more than 20 governors was prompted when one of the state leaders asked him about his physical condition during the hastily organized hour-long meeting, three people with knowledge of the conversation told the outlet.

The discussion was put together amid increased concern in the Democratic party over the president’s age, cognitive fitness and ability to serve another four-year term.

Biden said he had a checkup just days before and said he was healthy — while knocking on wood for effect, two of three people, who were granted anonymity to speak freely, told the outlet.

A source familiar with the president’s daily schedule, however, told Politico that Biden’s mention of a checkup was referring to a short and quick visit with a White House doctor who saw him for a lingering cold. The physician did not evaluate Biden on any major tests, the source said.

Just hours earlier, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to directly answer reporters’ questions on whether the president’s health had been professionally evaluated following the debate, according to the publication.

“The president has regular annual physicals that we release in a thorough report,” she said. “We’re going to continue to do that.”

Joe goes to a proctologist? Is that what a short doctor visit is all about?

“Simple” dementia rather, through Alheizmers disease.

Parkinson disease, characterized by frequent, uncontrolled shaking of the hands and wrists? Not visible.

Just what kind of quack doctor would go along with these lies? Going through life lieing isn’t a compliment. Being integrity-free must be a requirement for being in this criminal maladministration. How utterly pathetic.

The governors were not made to feel easy when pedojoe referred to it as a “menical ketchup.”

Did they do a piss test on him too? If he isn’t full demented, he has to be using too many drugs. Gotta be one or the other.

At age 77 I took the medicare tests two weeks ago . Passed it with flying colors. I could draw a clock face with hands at 10 minutes to Eleven and remembered the words told me, then had to repeat them back 5 minutes later. Pin, Apple, Tie, House, car. Wonder if they will change them next year.
Let’s see Biden do it. I bet Trump could.

Post debate ‘party’, Midnight at the waffle House, suffering from Jet lag from Camp David to Atlanta (after a week’s rest at CD) and then straight back to the WH where someone pronounced him ‘just fine’

The least they could do is provide the paperwork that show any of what they’re claiming...

They’ve been so long comfortable with just mouthing the words that they never back any of it up.

we ALL gave Biden a mental test at the debate, and we ALL decided as Trump said. That Biden is a broken down pile of crap.

If we had an honest media they would be asking the white house doctor for an interview.

Lies come so easy to Joe...

There’s lies, white lies, little lies big lies, damn lies and then there’s Biden lies...

I wonder if he knows this is 2024 not 1984...

The official position of “The Democratic Party Central Committee” is that he’s not always a gibbering imbecile. Just some time and it’s all ok. FJB

Dementia is a part of Parkinson’s Disease for maybe 40% or so.

Prognosis for tomorrow is softball questions and massive editing in a pre-recorded interview.
