(an abstract painting by Dana Gordon)
A New York Times columnist wrote about President Biden, saying he is too old and not exciting enough, and discussed the candidacy of Robert Kennedy, Jr.
reader comments
-- Portland, Oregon
People seeking excitement should take a deepwater ride in the Titan submersible.
People seeking to preserve democracy in the United States should vote for Biden.
-- Secaucus
Well, I watched Biden's speech yesterday -- he sounded great.
Trump couldn't give a speech like that if his life depended on it.
As far as Kennedy is concerned, he's nothing more than a crackpot and should see a shrink, not run for president.
-- AG Just Over The City Line
Who needs excitement? I prefer someone solid, competent, experienced and sane. I like to sleep at night. I like Governor Whitmer but I don't think she can win.
-- Mike S. Eugene, Oregon
I like it when Biden is not in the news every day. I sleep better, I think about other things in the world, and I am happier....
