That is sad. Still, even if it was the effects of a bad cold that doesn’t change the fact that perception is reality. It isn’t fair or right but that is what it is. To expect the media to be diligent and forsake their need for clicks and views as well as their thirst for gossip is unrealistic. To expect the electorate to ignore the race to lowest common denominator is unrealistic as well. I would have voted for Biden but it was highly likely he would have lost. Biden was a victim of circumstance during one of the most crucial elections ever.Nancy Pelosi has admitted she still has not spoken to Joe Biden since her crucial intervention in July led to his decision to drop out of the presidential race, following a disastrously frail performance in a debate against Donald Trump.
The former speaker of the House told the Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland on the Politics Weekly America podcast that although she continues to regard the US president as a great friend and longtime political ally, she felt a cold political calculation was necessary after the evidence of Biden’s failing mental acuity.
“Not since then, no,” she said when asked if she had spoken to Biden since. “But I’m prayerful about it.”
She added: “I have the greatest respect for him. I think he’s one of the great consequential presidents of our country,” she said. “I think his legacy had to be protected. I didn’t see that happening in the course that it was on, the election was on. My call was just to: ‘Let’s get on a better course.’ He will make the decision as to what that is. And he made that decision. But I think he has some unease because we’ve been friends for decades.”
“Elections are decisions,” she added. “You decide to win. I decided a while ago that Donald Trump will never set foot in the White House again as president of the United States or in any other capacity … So when you make a decision, you have to make every decision in favor of winning ... and the most important decision of all is the candidate.”………

apnews.comThe biggest failure of the Biden administration was forgetting the first two letters in "President" are "PR." I agree that there was "presidential fatigue" after Trump, and I appreciated that Biden wasn't constantly injecting himself into the daily news cycle, but he really failed to take advantage of the bully pulpit to beat his chest about the things he did accomplish.WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Tuesday he was “stupid” not to put his own name on pandemic relief checks in 2021, noting that Donald Trump had done so in 2020 and likely got credit for helping people out through this simple, effective act of branding.
Biden did the second-guessing as he delivered a speech at the Brookings Institution defending his economic record and challenging Trump to preserve Democratic policy ideas when he returns to the White House next month.
As Biden focused on his legacy with his term ending, he suggested Trump should keep the Democrats’ momentum going and ignore the policies of his allies. The president laid out favorable recent economic data but acknowledgedhis rare public regret that he had not been more self-promotional in advertising the financial support provided by his administration as the country emerged from the pandemic.
“I signed the American Rescue Plan, the most significant economic recovery package in our history, and also learned something from Donald Trump,” Biden said at the Washington-based think tank. “He signed checks for people for 7,400 bucks ... and I didn’t. Stupid.”……….
Biden says he was 'stupid' not to put his name on pandemic relief checks like Trump did
President Joe Biden says he was “stupid” not to put his own name on pandemic relief checks in 2021, like Donald Trump had done in 2020.
www.cnn.comBiden seems overly concerned with his "legacy". Or maybe it is just the Democrats circling the wagons to preserve what they consider a great presidency?
Overly concerned about his legacy?
Yes, you read it successfully.
No pretense. You are what you are. Embrace it.
Yes, I am what I am, no matter what ignorance claims are made by people who know nothing, really, about me.
Are you one of those who think everyone not voting for Harris is MAGA? Is your world that closed off from reality?
Oh, gee, Biden as victim. Hilarious!
No, simpleton, Biden was a victim of circumstance. He was not a victim, say, of racism or of a crime.
Oh I get it now, Biden the victim of circumstance.lol.
Either Biden is a victim of circumstance as you claim, or he isn't. Make up your mind.
