WASHINGTON — Aides have President Joe Biden take the shorter stairs to board Air Force One. When it comes to news conferences, they yell loudly — and quickly — to end the questions, sometimes stealing a classic awards show tactic and playing loud music to signal the conclusion of the event. And forget about regular interviews with major news publications, including a traditional presidential sit-down on Super Bowl Sunday.
Over the years, some of Biden’s key aides have gone from letting “Joe be Joe” to wrapping a presidential cocoon around him that is intended to shield him from verbal slips and physical stumbles.
All presidents are shielded by the strictures of the office, yet for Biden, who at 81 is the oldest person in history to hold the job, the decision is not only situational but strategic, according to several people who are familiar with the dynamic. The cloistered nature of his White House reflects a concern among some of his top aides that Biden, who has always been prone to gaffes, risks making a mistake.
Those risks were revealed in striking ways during the events that unfolded this past week.
After a special counsel’s report on Biden’s handling of classified documents was published Thursday, the president was furious with how he was portrayed, viewing the report as a partisan and personal attack that included one of the most gutting experiences of his life — his son Beau’s death.

I hope you’re right.
I don’t think any Dem can beat Trump but at the same time I don’t think any Dem would do as badly as Joetato.
Read the whole article.
Five different Democrats talked about how wonderful and alert he was.
“Biden is not going anywhere.”
Agreed.
If you read the whole article it is a justification for a second term.
Many Freepers are living in a bubble on this topic. This was a more favorable article than Donald Trump has received in the last ten years.

“It’s not Biden’s age by itself that is the problem. Plenty of very old people are mentally sharp. With Biden, it’s lack of mental acuity combined with life-long bad character”.
Winner!! He’s a sorry excuse for a human being.
“Leader of the Free World”, ladies and gentlemen.
And there is no longer a “Free World”.
”Healthy and vigorous”
”Safe and effective”
”Controlled and secure”
They are spitting in our faces, every day.
Yeah, that occurred to me as I was typing it.
“Feels like the Clinton’s are behind this.”
Sure does!!!
Nothing smells like Clinton collateral damage.

If releasing the transcripts exonerated fjb they would have been released the fact they weren’t proves hur case. Once everyone realizes this he is toast

Rush was right and is still right.
Biden serves at the behest of baraq hussein.
When baraq is done with him, biden will be tossed out.
done deal.
I didn’t mean it as a criticism to you. Thanks.
Ah...yes. My memory failed me.
Oh, they knew. Everybody knew. It’s just that in the Mafia, you have to get permission from the Dons to take someone who is ‘made’ out.
.
Name one Democratic US Senator that has gone on the record saying Biden is unfit for office.
crickets....
I was agreeing with you pal.
While without question Biden is now senile as a coot, how impaired he was when he was inaugurated? Before Biden was closeted in his basement during the campaign, he had dementia outbursts. It can be argued he was too impaired even then to have been elected as POTUS. The other difficult question is who has been running the country when Joe has been a befuddled figurehead.
