Romney did the same thing to Obama during their first debate in 2012, and people panicked then too. Once I read about the Gish gallop after that debate I recognize it all the time! Shame on CNN for not fact checking and allowing that to happen, again!

The problem is that those candidates were many years younger than Biden is now. What Biden‘s performance showed is that he is old and he’s not getting younger. Obama had a bad night, right but he wasn’t 81.
c'mon...the writer of this page predates our president by a full decade. He may have to edit his prose a bit more than he once did, if his fingers don't type as well as they did 4 decades ago, but you can see that his mind remains sharp and he's contributing in a remarkable way. There are very few things that require a president to respond instantly. The president is surrounded by advisors of his own choosing. This president has done very well at that task. Wise decisions are made in the context of skilled teammates. Remember the revolving door in the last administration? Have you noticed it's absence this time around? Firing people is not a sign of genius. Hiring the right people is more indicative of skill and maturity.
I completely agree with your comments made. Again, though, I think Biden's staffing let us all down regarding the terms of this first debate and not cancelling it - even last minute, when Biden was, it seems like must have been apparent to those on site around him, last evening, not up to performing adequately. I recently saw a podcast of two of Obama's debate coaches speaking about what a challenge it is to coach a sitting president to prep for a debate. This intelligence was horribly lacking, somehow.

Which to me makes Obama’s performance even WORSE in hindsight. And Obama didn’t have a head cold, either.
