Obama’s Defense Secretary questions Biden’s ‘intellectual acuity’: He’s been wrong for past 40 years
May 13, 2019 | Frieda Powers

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s “intellectual acuity” in potentially leading the nation seemed a cause of concern for a former Obama administration official.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates did not exactly give the 2020 Democratic contender a glowing reference as he simply said he “didn’t know” if Biden would make an effective commander-in-chief, telling CBS News’ Margaret Brennan on “Face The Nation” that he stood by his view that Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue” in the last 40 years.

Brennan read from Gates’ comments on Biden in his 2015 memoir:

    Joe Biden is impossible not to like. He is a man of integrity, incapable of hiding what he really thinks and one of those rare people you know you can turn to for help in a personal crisis. Still, I think he’s been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.

Biden is a Demcommie.  He has always played the role of idiot.  I can't stand him.  And to hear Gates say he was on the wrong side of every issue tells me he is dangerous.  But then again, I consider every Democommie dangerous, and functioning as communists in the USA.  Anyone voting for these people checked their brains long ago.

Joe Biden is, and always has been a big labor lackey bought and paid for by the AFL/CIO.
