Biden Checks Into Walter Reed for a Physical as Obama's Aides Publicly Panic About His Age and "Mumbly" Speech

We have to talk about Pop-Pop.

Former aides who worked directly with then-Vice President Joe Biden in the Obama administration have called current fears over his age "a very real issue" -- with some alarmed at how he has become more "frail" and "mumbly."

"If you watch Joe Biden speak, oftentimes he sounds frail and he sounds more frail than he used to, even in 2019 and 2020," Jon Favreau, the chief speechwriter for Obama when Biden was vice president, said in a recent episode of the "Pod Save America" podcast.

"The voice sounds frail, and he shuffles more because of the arthritis in his back," Favreau said, adding that the oldest-ever president also appears "mumbly."

He noted polls showing as many as 80% of Americans have expressed concern about the president being 81 -- saying it needs to be tackled head-on because voters can see his clear decline.

Even though the president has made an ever-growing series of gaffes and verbal stumbles, he needs to appear on camera even more if he's to assuage voters' concerns about his age -- with his absence even worse, Favreau warned.

"When world events seem like they are overtaking him and he's not out there enough forcefully, that's what's getting people concerned," Favreau argued.

Podcast co-host Jon Lovett, another ex-Obama speechwriter, agreed and argued that the Biden campaign should get the president out in public to demonstrate his mental and physical abilities -- even if they are concerned that he will make more gaffes.

Idiots, if he could, he would.

This is like telling a paraplegic to prove he can walk. He can't, Stupid.

Meanwhile, former Obama senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer expressed his own concerns in a separate interview.

"It is a very real issue," he told Courier.

"If Biden can't assuage, particularly among his voters from 2020, then I don't think he can win the election -- so in some ways, it's the crux for his campaign."

Biden went to Walter Reed this morning.

President Joe Biden departed the White House Wednesday morning for Walter Reed where he will undergo his annual physical as voters raise concerns about the 81-year-old's fitness for a second term.

The White House has faced constant questions over when Biden, the oldest president in history, would receive his exam ahead of the November 2024 presidential election.

'I'm going to Walter Reed to get my physical', Biden told reporters as he walked across the South Lawn to Marine One.

The White House said results will be released later Wednesday.

For months, polls have showed that a majority of Americans are doubtful that Biden can be effective through a second term, which would finish when he is 86 years of age.

As previously announced by the White House's super-competent Karine Jean-Pierre, defiantly announced that Biden would again not take a cognitive function test, insisting that we can all see his level of mental acuity.

Indeed we can. That's the problem, Black Lesbian Baghdad Bob.

I will point out once again that if you say that Biden appears senile to you, the White House will attack you for offering your "non-expert" opinion, but non-doctor non-experts at the White House are of course qualified to claim that Biden is not senile.
