Growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, I understood that the office of the President of the United States was to be occupied by a great orator with unbounded energy, high ideals, superior intelligence and impeccable decision-making skills. Today the occupant of that office is a sleepy senior given to slurring his words, a proven liar who has profited from influence-peddling, is unsure of where he is at any given time, and relies on others to make important decisions for our nation.
His vice-president, who would take over should he drop dead today, is no better. While she may have high energy she surely has low ideals, demonstrates little grasp of world events, prattles on about nothing and has yet to make any decision that impacts the country.

To say we are up the creek without a paddle, should the Democrats win in November, is a mighty understatement. Yet the clueless Democrats forge ahead with Biden and Harris as their chosen candidates for 2024. This seems odd since there are currently 23 Democratic governors, 46 Democratic senators and 213 Democratic congressmen (and women). How is it possible that not two of those 282 politicians are capable of running the country? And if not, what the heck are they doing making our laws?
