Joe Biden is officially the oldest man to ever be president, as he hits 79 in November, and the White House does not appear to be fond of answering certain questions about him.
For example, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki recently danced around answering questions about his upcoming physical examination and his health status.
As her daily press briefing wrapped on Thursday Brian Karem, who used to be the senior White House correspondent for Playboy magazine, shouted a question at Psaki.
Q Hey Jen, will he take a physical anytime soon and report it to the American public?
MS. PSAKI: He will. Advertisement
Q How soon — do we know?
MS. PSAKI: I don’t have an update for you, but will soon.
Q But before the end of the year?
MS. PSAKI: I promise you. Kelly asks about this all the time. He’s keeping us on our toes.
Q Yeah. Thank you. Advertisement
Good old circle back Jen. The Kelly name drop was about NBC News reporter Kelly O’Donnell who has gained a reputation for asking tough questions of the administration, The Daily Mail reported.
Covering the White House since the George W. Bush administration, O’Donnell has garnered a reputation for doggedly pressing issues.
On July 26, Biden even called her a ‘pain in the neck’ after she shouted a question about Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough’s department-wide COVID vaccine mandate for its health care workers.
‘You are such a pain in the neck, but I’m going to answer your question because we’ve known each other so long,’ the president shot back.
O’Donnell retorted, ‘I take that as a compliment, Mr. President,’ earning a chuckle from Biden.
Requests for Biden’s medical records were reignited last month after a September 16 speech the 78-year-old president made was frequently interrupted by his persistent cough. Advertisement
“One very different — separate. Many of us were in the East Room watching the President. We’ve seen him on many occasions where he has a repeated cough. What is the situation with that cough? And is that a concern?” she said.
“It’s not a concern. We have a doctor who travels with him, obviously, who checks in if there is — it is ever warranted. And certainly, that continues to be the case, as it has been since the beginning of his presidency,” Psaki responded.
“Is there an explanation for why he coughed so frequently in situations like that? I’m sure you saw it,” the reporter persisted.
“I did. I don’t think it’s an issue of concern. I think there are a range of reasons why we may need to clear our throat or we may have a little light cold. And that’s certainly something that presidents, elected officials, reporters, spokespeople can confront, but it’s not an area where we have a medical concern,” the press secretary said.
And just last week Biden appeared to suffer a mental lapse and forgot the name of one of his own officials.
The president was attempting to thank his port czar John Porcari on Wednesday for addressing the ongoing supply chain issues, even as the supply chain has not shown any signs of improving, The New York Post reported. Advertisement
But in thanking him, Biden called him by the incorrect name two times.
“I know you’re hearing a lot about something called supply chains and how hard it is to get a range of things from a toaster to sneakers to bicycles to bedroom furniture. And that’s why back in February I signed… an executive order on supply chains and what we had to move on them,” he said.
“I want to thank my Supply Chain Disruption Task Force, which we set up in June, led by Secretaries [Pete] Buttigieg, [Gina] Raimondo, and [Tom] Vilsack, and by my Director of National Economic Council Bryan Deese. I want to thank them for their leadership,” he said before mentioning Porcari.
“I especially want to thank Joe Porcari, and I think Joe’s done one heck of a job, my special envoy specifically on ports, who’s been working this issue with all the stakeholders for the past several weeks,” he said.
Why don’t they have mandatory vaccination at the White House?
Apparently it’s almost time for the whore from Bangalore. Then we will get a fire hose of propaganda about how she was deeply concerned, and then we’ll get the Kamala honeymoon.
Of course.
It’s not good optics to admit he’s got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel
... there’s also the likelihood of early congestive heart failure at his age.
The only thing that matters is Biden's poor mental health. It is bad. He was in serious cognitive decline on inauguration day.
Joe Xiden, the actor, is as demented as the real one in coma.
the crime family got smaller last Friday,
but the whacko paintings’ values, got higher.
yep, that’s true. The media will never talk about that.
But we do talk about it on sites such as Free Republic. Thank God for freedom of speech. We do speculate because some things are too “in our face” to ignore.
and available. (even tho not eligible to fill-in as Veep)
If this came from Trump the commie media would spend a week speculating that Trump is ill and refuses to admit it..when Trump sneezed the commie media claimed it was pneumonia
Bingo. The questions about his cough are just an attempt to distract the American people from the elephant in the room - the supposed Commander in Chief has absolutely no idea what is happening around him. "Shoeless Joe" played for the White Sox - "Clueless Joe" lives in the White House...
I can sum up His Fraudulency’s condition in two words: He’s Senile.
or the cdc?
Uh.......no.
If Biden tried to curse, would it come out “Jackie Christ!”?
Four little, five little, six little stumbles...
And around and around we go. Already nauseated by the sight of Biden’s face.
Children in kindergarten have been taught for decades to cough into their elbow, not into their hands after which they will then touch something ... maybe their own face or maybe something else. Ever since Covid everyone has been taught that. It is a sign of Joe’s dementia that he cannot remember. He coughs into his hand and then touches his podium etc. Of course the media never pointed that out during his rare campaign appearances.
Dementiajoe still is able to regurgitate the words given to him by his Puppermasters and will remain in the Oval Office (or fake Oval Office) for the time being.
In the meantime, the Traitorcrats will be working to find a suitable (far leftist, but compliant to the DeepState Puppetmasters) replacement for “Heels Up” Harris, who has demonstrated she exceeds the Peter Principle by many orders of magnitude.
Once “Heels Up” is dumped (i.e., forced to resign for personal reasons), Dementiajoe is likely to last as long as his most recent diaper.
Well, pretending to ignore the obvious can’t be helping the Democrats get votes in the 2022 elections.
