This is now getting pathetic. Really, I’m embarrassed for him.
Last night, President Biden somehow mustered up enough energy to attend an early evening fundraiser (I guess there’s enough left in the ole’ tank to rake-in money). While speaking to donors, Biden flung a new excuse onto the dripping spaghetti wall, hoping that this time it might actually stick.
The latest: Biden claimed he was tired from an exhausting travel schedule. “I came back and nearly fell asleep on stage,” he said. [READ MORE HERE]
Huh?
Fact: Look it up. The President was back from Europe 12 full days before the debate. Then, he spent nearly a week with a light schedule and no travel while prepping for the debate at Camp David, which is basically a vacation retreat.
I don’t get it. Spending summertime in France and Italy (I know, exhausting!), followed by a quiet week hiding away deep in the woods. Wow–that’s a serious case of jet lag! Sure, sometimes we may feel the aftereffects of travel and crossing multiple time zones. But he’s traveling on Air Force Fucking One! [* see footnote]
It’s not like Biden was stuck in the middle seat on Spirit after a 5-hour flight delay at O’Hare.
I wholeheartedly concur with one commentator who heard this lame excuse and replied:
“This doesn’t fly with the reporting that Biden spent his week of debate prep starting at *11 a.m.* and also took afternoon naps. If he can’t recover from a trip to Europe in a week in those easy conditions, he just…can’t be president.”
I agree. If he can’t handle THIS lifestyle and schedule, then he needs to withdraw from the race.
And soon.
As in — now.

* I remember watching a documentary on Air Force One and all it’s conveniences and amenities. A world-class chef on standby. Private sleeping quarters, available anytime. The best furniture and most comfy seats. Pillows. TVs, phones, an entertainment center. The only thing that’s missing on the president’s plane is Led Zeppelin’s fireplace.
