At It Again
Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden is at it again. He has been long known for his gaffes on the campaign trail and for making things up. Now comes a tale of awarding decorations to a soldier in Afghanistan. The Washington Post reported that it didn't happen the way Biden said, and he appears to have conflated three events into one. This raises a serious question about his veracity. We have already in the White House an occupant who is a sociopathic liar. Do we need another? Biden's reputation can take a self-defeating hit if the media continually check on his statements. It's poor PR on his part and a terrible strategy, if it even rises to that point. American citizens need a dose of accuracy and truth, of telling about things as they are and not as one would have them. It's understandable that in the heat of campaigning one might say things he would later regret, but, if so, an apology is in order and then a move onward. Biden apparently is not given to apologies -- yet.
