No Country For Old Men

The definitive answer to the question “Will Obama endorse Joe Biden for President?” comes from Obama himself, and I guess the answer is no:

“If you look at the world and look at the problems it’s usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way.”

Barry expanded on the problem cause by “old men.”

“I’m absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything … living standards and outcomes.”

I guess nobody has advised him that “old man” Trump has managed a significant improvement “across the board on just about everything” from unemployment to the stock market. In fact the stock market has hit over 100 all time highs since President Trump’s inauguration. But Obama thinks Hillary could have done better, because she’s a girl:

“Now, women, I just want you to know: you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you’re better than us men.” Independent Sentinel

As for old Joe – well let’s just say he was for Obama’s plan to get rid of all the old (white) men before he was against it:

In 1972,…Cale Boggs was a two-term U.S. senator from Delaware. He was 63. Reporters in their coverage of the campaign described his “thinning hair” and said he sometimes got “tongue-tied.”

His challenger, meanwhile, a one-term county councilman, was 29. Reporters called Joe Biden “boyishly slim” and noted that he often talked about “how the old guard has bungled things.”

Biden ran newspaper ads yoking the incumbent to imagery evocative of bygone days. “Cale Boggs’ generation dreamed of conquering polio,” one said. “In 1950 Cale Boggs hoped to make Americans safe from Stalin,” a second said. Another mentioned “the 1948 poll tax.” The ads emphasized the need for “new thinking” and “new solutions.”

And that’s No Malarkey, 50 years at the public trough of graft an corruption is enough from one old man. But feel free to misremember and gaffe your way across the Heartland. Nobody’s paying attention anyway.
