President Biden’s Age is now the problem! Where’s the ADA?

After the first US presidential debate, and the slow start of the incumbent, President Joe Biden, the democrats lost their minds. The democrats started to play with the acronym “SCAMPER.” They wanted a ‘substitute.’ They felt like ‘combining’ forces. They sort to make some ‘adaptations’ in their campaign strategy. They ‘modify’ the President’s schedules and so on. They wanted to ‘put into another use’ some tactics and styles. They outrightly wanted to ‘eliminate’ the President’s candidacy in the bid to ‘rearrange’ the campaign strategy to win the election come November 2024. Are you sure about that?

Why all these jostles, sniffing and gossips? His crime is that he is 81 years old. They fear that he will lose them the presidency to an opponent whom the law has christened felon, the supreme court anointed a king through their presidential immunity verdict, and most Americans consider a venal potentate should he be re-elected as the president.

I believe the people who criticize Mr. Biden base on his age inadvertently are going against the federal civil rights law that ensures equal opportunities for people with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits any form of discriminations based on disability and protects like other civil rights law against discrimination based on race, colour, sex, national origin, AGE and religion.

All those journalists, congress men and women and governors who criticize the President’s performance because he is 81 years old are breaking the law. Mr. Biden’s case is a typical example of discrimination based on someone’s age. If Mr. Biden says that he is strong at 81 to lead the country, let him continue with his campaign. Nobody has the right to ask him to step down because he is 81 years old. If you ask him to step down because of his age, you are sending signals to other people with disabilities that they are not “truly equal” like the rest of the people without disabilities.

Your responsibility as a party (democrats) is to make some reasonable adjustments for individual accommodations for your candidate who is 81 years old. After all, this is the candidate who has turned American economy around in just three and half years. Do you think it was an easy task to lead?

You focus on Mr. Biden’s age, which is a protected characteristic in some countries and even by ADA, but fail to notice his opponent who lies daily, who cannot make a simple correct sentence, who is incapable of concentration, who monetizes anything on his path, who's full temper tantrums, who is self-centered and abominably foul.

When you ask the President to step aside because of his age, you consider him a person who is stupid, slow to understand or ineffective. But you all are wrong. Mr. Biden may have a slow start, but not slow to understand. He is wise, effective and efficient. Physically, he may look 81, like most octogenarians, but he is resilient, tough, disciplined, diligent, equanimous, and principled. He will never sell America to the highest or lowest bidder.  

The incumbent has in just three and a half years surpassed every American President in history in his achievements in the economy. His unparalleled economic recovery has positioned the US as a global economy that balances other world economies. And now, you want to reject the person behind all these achievements because he is 81 years old for an alternative who single handedly sunk America into unparalleled debts, who instigated the January 6 riots, who has been convicted for various crimes, and who will destroy the American democracy. This person is 'hold on' turning 80 years in no time. Think twice Americans, all that glitters is not gold!
