Is Barack Obama's dream, now a reality

I'm not sure I understand your response.  What do you disagree with?  It seems to me you are agreeing with me more than disagreeing.

Do you disagree that Biden's mental capacity appears seriously diminished from that of a fully functioning person (let alone a World leader)? 

Yes, I disagree.  Not seriously diminished.

 

Do you disagree that people in Biden's immediate circle are covering for his handicaps with the specific intent of making these handicaps appear less debilitating, both physically and mentally?

Yes... or at least not in any way unusual for a world leader.  We all do stupid stuff like trip over invisible cats, forget names and dates, misspeak names (or forget faces), etc.  I expect that any leader has a PR team covering for them.  

Heck, if I could get a PR team that covered my foofs and gaffes throughout the years, I would sign up for that, muy pronto.
 

Do you disagree that his motor skills and appearance are that of a significantly aged person who is not fully aware of their surroundings and who is unable to function normally without significant assistance from others? 

I do disagree.

And for the record, I'm about 2 years younger than Trump and I'm dealing with a husband who has Parkinson's, so I have a very very very good idea of what "not able to function" and "not fully aware of their surroundings" looks like.

The metric is not "belongs to a different political party."

I am just trying to point out that when elderly persons begin to suffer notable psychological and physiological handicaps there are things they should be restricted from being allowed to do...and serving as Commander in Chief of the most powerful nation in the free World is one of these things.  Do you disagree with this notion?

I agree... and by that metric, Trump shouldn't get into office.  ANY office.
 

I've used the following question elsewhere to illustrate my point.  Would you trust Joe Biden to drive your children or grandchildren in a car through a busy city? 

Would it be appropriate for me to point out that Biden has a valid drivers' license and has been seen driving cars?  Heck, he can even drive a standard.  I'm not sure that Trump has a drivers' license (point of order here -- it is NOT unusual for New Yorkers to NOT have drivers' licenses... the traffic is horrible and most take public transport or use drivers), and frankly I would NOT trust him anywhere NEAR my 19 year old granddaughter!

More importantly, Biden speaks in complete sentences and sentences that are on topic.  He has enough of an attention span that he attends briefings and takes notes on them (unlike Trump.)  No industry executives have ever slammed him as "meandering" (unlike Trump https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/14/ceos-at-...essed.html)

Most of all, Biden knows how to pick administrators who do NOT get convicted for crimes. (https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/21/politics/...index.html)  I prefer my presidents to be able to pick people who are better than that.
