The Benefit of the Doubt

I Don’t know if the saying applies here but hopefully you will get the point. Many are quick to point out that, contrary to what Old Joe said, he was not at ground zero the day after 9/11. Many say he lied.

The thing is as people grow old and the memory starts going bad, they will say things not true and they refuse to admit to things that are true. It may or may not be a lie but it might also be a memory failure.

As I understand it, he was there 10 days later. He might actually think it was the next day.

in some cases while I was still in my 60s, my wife and I would argue and argue a point. The next day I realized she was right.

The question at this point is, is it better that he was lying or his memory failed him. To be sure, when a person in the Oval Office Office has a bunch of memory failures, he…we have real problems…problems that cannot be ignored.
