Age, and memories

'If You Are Not a Liberal When You Are Young, You Have No Heart, and If You Are Not a Conservative When Old, You Have No Brain'

I am sorry for your loss. However, Biden also did not remember the dates he was Vice President, according to the report. And reports now say that Biden himself brought up his son's death, the special counsel didn't just randomly ask about it. He often uses his son Beau's death to make a point, and frequently lies about Beau dying in Iraq when in fact he died of cancer years after returning. Releasing the transcripts of the questioning would clear up exactly what was said, why would the White House not want to do this?

Ms. Engelhardt, if that were Biden’s only mental issue, we could consider ourselves lucky. Unfortunately for us, Biden has many more gaffes which reinforce his lack of mental clarity. To wit, Biden calling the Egyptian President the president of Mexico, Biden confusing a European leader with a dead predecessor, confusing the French President with Mitterrand from Germany, oops, France, confusing the Hungarian Prime Minister as the leader of Turkey, shaking hands with invisible people, etc. to list a few.

Good try but Pres. Biden's cognitive impairment is recognized by too many people for it to be ignored. It's not just forgetting names, but this ability to hold and analyze a number of facts in his head at one time to analyze them. There are a number of short verbal tests used by neurologist such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test to assess one's cognitive ability. Biden should put the country before his political ambitions and take the test and disclose the results.
