How obvious is the president’s Parkinson’s problem? One New York specialist, Dr. Tom Pitts, nailed it when he told NBC Tuesday that “I could have diagnosed him from across the mall.”
Frankly, it doesn’t take a specialized physician to do that.
A layman’s glance at Joe Biden — with his vacant stare, shuffling gait and frozen face — would tell anyone capable of basic observation that something serious is wrong.
“I’m a Democrat,” Pitts went on. “It’s just like — this guy is not a hard case. I see him 20 times a day in clinic.”
Despite this, the Biden administration still continues to dodge, duck and obfuscate around the issues.
Its latest laughable effort?
The pretense that Parkinson’s expert Dr. Kevin Cannard’s eight visits to the White House in as many months had nothing to do with Biden’s neurological health.
Chief flack Karine Jean-Pierre even said that Cannard’s meeting with Biden’s personal doc Kevin O’Connor was somehow not concerned with Joe’s health, only to have O’Connor later admit it was (forcing her to admit the same).
What’s as laughable — and far more worrying — is the president’s refusal to take a diagnostic cognitive test and make the results public.
Joe tried to brush the issue off in his interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulus. He insisted that he has “a cognitive test every day. Everything I do. I’m not just running a campaign, I’m running the world.”
Sorry, Joe. If that’s the “test,” the results aren’t promising: Just look at Gaza or Ukraine — or inflation or the border.
As Pitts also pointed out, Biden’s refusal to deal honestly with the public on this issue recalls how authoritarian leaders behave as they deny the undeniable.
For the good of the country — and to end his own humiliation — Joe needs to take an early night-night from the presidency itself.
