In reply to the discussion: I hope Biden stops acting like his foot's OK and goes back to wearing his walking boot. [View all]Jakes Progress

The point is that the running across every stage and skipping up the stairs is so obvious (well, to everyone but you) that the elderly person doing so is trying to act like he is not the age he is. He doesn't have to do that. No one voted for him because he can jump rope. When he acts that way, it seems to be that the faux news taunts are getting to him. Then when he stumbles because he is showing off, it seems silly. And yes, he is trying to show off. For eight years, he walked with Obama and for decades he walked the halls of Congress. He didn't run across the street to greet every reporter or skip up the stairs.
We didn't elect him for his age or despite his age. We elected him because he was Joe Biden - smarter, kinder, and more capable than his opponent. Don't be the aging uncle who tries to convince the youngsters that he is still cool, still hip.
I get to tell my president whatever I want to tell him. You don't get to tell me that I shouldn't. Find something important to write about.
