That is the question that was covered almost every day in the news leading up President Biden dropping out of race in 1964. It is not stated in precisely those terms, but that is what I hear. As an 83 year old person, I live a productive life. I could have been more productive at 72, 62, 52, 42, or 32, but I can still contribute. I just completed dividing my basement into two areas. One I use for exercising and office space. The other is for storage. I will admit it took me longer than it would have 20 years ago, but I finished it. The exercise space has an elliptical and a stationary bike, which I use three to four times a week. The office space has two desktop computers, one I use daily and one a few times a week to explore WordPress, Web site design, web server design, and other interests.
The press acted like President Biden was too old to run for a second term. I look at what he accomplished in the first three years as president, and ask how you conclude that he was too old to run again.
I believe a person’s age has three factors – physical, mental, and emotional. Judging a person’s physical age by appearance seems relatively straightforward. A person’s mental age is not easy to determine. You would need a complete history of their cognitive ability. How did they retain and use the information at 20, 30, 40, 50, and so forth? A person’s emotional age is very subjective based on your past emotional history.
Based on what has been reported about President Biden’s cognitive ability. His mental age was not much different than it was when he was a Senator or Vice President. His physical age was that of an 81-year-old. He looks and moves like an 81-year-old. But looking and moving like an 81-year-old does not mean he should be put out to pasture. He was still capable of doing the job he was elected for.
The United States had the most robust economy in the world because of the leadership of President Biden. The young people in this country wanted President Biden to solve all of the world’s problems. Since he could not, they think he should not be president.
