We all know who Warren Buffet is right! Did you know he was born in 1930! Yes he is 93 years old. I had to look it up. He was on some show my husband was watching and he stated he was born in 1930 in Ohama NE. Look at the man and see what great shape his mind is in. I don't know about his physical shape but his mind is in very good condition. How many people listen to his every word? Take advice from this 93 year old. Buy his stock recommendations. He believes his secretary shouldn't pay more taxes than he does. The man is 93 years old and still talking about stocks, etc and most of us listen to his every word.
And they worry about President Joe Biden's age.
GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Do we say he is too old to be giving stock recommendations or whatever else he does? No. We shut up and listen to Warren Buffet.
So why is Joe Biden's age being questioned?
Sorry for the rant but learning how old Warren Buffet is and complaining about Joe Biden's age is hypocritical in my view.

(10,504 posts)but yes, I do think the issue of age is a consideration as well as VP Harris. In the case of the Presidency both Biden and Trump are both old. However, it is pretty clear to me at least that Trump has mental issues, not necessarily age related and Biden does not. I don't really know much about Kamala Harris other than her little bit of recognition when she ran for Presidency. She seems to not be in the spotlight much as VP.

(118 posts)Biden is old. That's a fact.
The way to counter that is to put him in situations where the public can see him and say, "Hey....the guy still has it."
That's all you can do. Ignoring it or pretending that every concern about his age in automatically in bad faith is not a strategy.

1940 Patrick Stewart is born in Mirfield, England.
1942 Harrison Ford is born in Chicago, Illinois.
Both are older than Joe Biden, and still at the top of their profession.
Just like Joe Biden is running circles around MAGA Republicans!
