Why Ex-Obama adviser calls Biden's forcefully worded letter 'dismissive' 

The political scene in America has become embarrassing.

She just needed to say "The President does not have Parkinson's." That's it. Instead, she danced around while the press corp got increasingly frustrated with the obvious game she was playing.

The press briefing was a train wreck yesterday. You know you’re on the wrong side when you’ve lost Kelly O’Donnell and Ed O’Keefe.

It's weird how the liberal media flipped on Biden all of a sudden... Seems so coordinated

He does not present like he is able to work 4 more years. Leaving it up to him is not reasonable. 😢

Military requires retirement at 64 years old. FAA requires commercial pilots to retire at 65.

I’m sorry but something is wrong when someone can not even form a coherent sentence and they are in charge of the entire country

"Why Ex-Obama adviser calls Biden's forcefully worded letter 'dismissive'" so let's otherwise "Convince It Forward" with Laus DEO

Cooper - 5:01 old news. CNN, can you not come up with anything new? There’s no new news.🆕??? Enough already. Move on.

Exactly. Reporters are not health experts. They do not even know what questions to ask.

I used to listen to CNN but just dropped in to confirm to myself to not tune in ANYMORE.

Pretty soon CNN will be interviewing Dr. Phill.

The dismissiveness is arrogance. Arrogance is the same thing that led Biden and his team to agree to that debate. Pride goeth before a fall........

Who cares what Axelrod says? He's irrelevant.

He displays on a daily basis almost all the hallmarks of parkinsonism with the exception of tremor, which not all with parkinsonism display. The signs go back years, and has been progressively getting worse. It explains his facial expressions/stares , his short shuffling gait, hypophonia, bradykinesia, voice/throat clearing issues, falls, rigidity, among many other issues. Parkinsonism doesn't have to be caused by parkinson disease, it can also be due to different types of dementia, for example lewy body dementia among many others. If the white house can't be transparent about his health he needs to step down, if not for reelection how about for national security?

The underlying issue is that the people are being asked to pick between two power obsessed ego maniacs who have no sense whatsoever of public service.

Nothing new here. CNN, There’s no new news ??? Enough already. Do better. Leaving. You are boring us, looping over & over on the same stale thing.

In All honesty, the Democratic Party can be their own worst enemy. Diversity in thoughts and opinions is a beautiful concept, but failing to rally, fully support, and fall in line is a significant area for improvement. To the credit of the Republican Party, they know how to hold the fort down and support their leadership, both rank and file. For example, if Former President Donald Trump had passed out during the debate, there would have been no one in the Republican Party asking him to step down because they recognized he was their strongest candidate. On the other hand, in the Democratic Party, there is a lot of noise about their elected candidate, President Joe Biden. Yes, President Biden had an awful debate for whatever reason, but calling for him to step down is highly unwarranted and unwise. In examining potential Democratic Party front runners, who are qualified to replace him? I keep hearing talks about Governors Gavin Newsome (CA) and Gretchen Whitmore (MI), but they need national recognition or experience. They may be prevalent in their home states but have yet to be tested nationally. Given the stakes of this election, it is unlikely they will be a force against Former President Trump. Additionally, media outlets like CNN say House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries would be a good choice again. He does not have the experience or national recognition and is still getting his footing in his current leadership role. Lastly, there are news media outlets (not the people) pushing for Vice President Kamala Harris to be the presidential candidate. Still, I strongly dissent, given her record and historically low approval ratings. Vice President Harris has not been able to accomplish anything noteworthy since being in office. Sidebar: I understand Vice Presidents are like spears until something happens to a sitting President. However, she was given tasks like managing and co-coordinating immigration issues at the U.S. Southern Border and has fumbled. Given the Republican Party takes most of the blame for their failure to pass the bi-partisan immigration reform bill (at the behest of Donald Trump). As a Black/African American, it pains me to say that Kamala Harris also faces significant challenges as a mixed-race person. We recognize that racism is alive and well in the United States, including the Democratic Party, as well. Along with being a person of color, she is a woman running for office in a highly contested election; given the historic precedence with women like Shirley Chislom and Hilary Clinton, we are in a more divisive and radical climate. Let’s stick by President Biden he is the face of the presidency but there is an entire administration along side him doing to the work of the American people. We have protections in place and he follows the rule of law and listens to the advisors and established professionals including military leadership. We have not never heard him arguing, disagreeing and trying to undermine our institutions like Former President Donald Trump.

Please leave our president alone

I have a friend who is a geriatric nurse and sees people with dementia every day. She says older people can be forgetful and even a bit senile - and still function OK. *But they can’t be president of the United States!* We have seen Biden's cognitive decline now for months! And one thing about people with dementia - they don't get better, only worse! There are seven stages of Alzheimer's and Joe Biden is clearly in stage four. Sad! Sad that his wife puts him and the country through this!

No he’s not giving the answer y’all want him to give, that’s the problem

Maybe some nobody at CNN should determne our elections?

Let's be honest, each and every CNN anchor has that look on their faces as if they are being forced to spew this nonsense.

Who are this people? Boring and not so smart. Feels like their are on street corner chattering without facts, what's on their mind about this subject.

Axelrod needs to take a seat. All this doubt is not helping the situation. Biden said he is not leaving. I don't see anyone else stepping up. Let Biden do his job!

Please don’t send sanja gupta to anyone

Where were David during the democratic primaries? He should have run against Biden !

President Biden does not have parkinson's ,my mom died from parkinson's.i was with her from bringing of her systems to the end of her life.just leave him alone and know that Biden would have people in the right jobs to save america.and why isn't anyone remotely saying anything about trump speech or even telling on himself about him talking to Putin right before he had his debate.

This guy is wrong.

I for one am hating CNN more every day.

Stay with the Horse that took U thru the Desert!

We are out of time. The party needs to act

Ok, the doctor doesn't visit a patient 8 times in the past year if there is nothing there. Especially a specialist

What a clown Anderson Cooper is, report the news dont make the news

This is why I stopped watching CNN years ago 💯💯💯💯

How is the ad revenue with this witch hunt? 💸 🐷

I am voting for Joe Biden 🙂

STOP THE LIES

It doest look like Parkinson’s but it does appear to be the beginning stages of Dementia

All the peeps moaning about CNN’s coverage of Biden are hysterical. They don’t want to hear the truth.

He may be having ischemic strokes. Aa fir Trump has some real mental issues in the DMS 5 manual of mental disorders. I worry about both of them .

Stop the Insanity!!! Enough already. Do you see the MAGA SUPPORTERS calling for Trump to step down? Hell No ! Let’s keep moving 🇺🇸🫡

Omg , I’m so over the Biden story .

CNN needs to put equal time into the health and psychological baggage that Trump is bringing along with him such as malignant narcissism and it's risks to the country.

why is nobody questioning Trump authoritarian behaviour and all his ramblin lies.?

Ooh dr david can you tell us something about parkinson disease? Ooh shit anderson, i have no fing clue!😂😂😂😂 FUCK CROOKED MEDIA!!

Where's trump?

CNN has no news today...!

CNN newscasters are shameful We ceased watching CNN They are now becoming more like Fox News

Keep on dancing for CNN, David!! Earn that paycheck singing the corporate media party line! David Axelrod is so busy dancing the CNN party line that they are calling him a dancing machine and a dancing fool. Got to dance when the man says you dance, David!

Axelrod talks as if in a drunken stupor

If you cant decisively beat a guy who tried to lead a coup in a debate you completely lost the wheel.

Mr Axelrod, why aren't you as vocal about the fact that the other guy hasnt been able to complete a sentence since he took office. Until you guys direct the same questions and "concerns" toward the other guy and hold him accountable in the same on-going never-ending way you with Biden, STOP!!

So dissatisfied and disappointed for CNN to be this much unfair.

It’s becoming easier and easier to tell when folks lie here. It’s so easy these days to see the lack of transparency

Biden is not leaving cnn stop it already..

Anderson we both know Trump can NOT go back to that White House .

SHAME ON YOU COOPER YOU NEED TO RETIRE, I"M NOT WATCHING CNN ANYMORE

Used to love CNN can't say the same now guess they are looking to boast their rating 🤷

And Trump deficiency and dementia?

I am sick of hearing about this. Overkill just let him be.

Why didn't Joe Biden say he would have a cognitive test when George Stephanopoulos interviewed him?

So, Jill got a second opinion when the president was out of the country? or did the neurologist just come in to do a line with Hunter? It's surreal and a full and complete joke.

ANDERSON HOW MANY MORE TIMES THIS QUESTION?

CNN you are Trump donors and I'm done with you and all the others ABC,NBC, CBS you news people say what you're boss tell you to say

thank you, CNN , Anderson, & panelists...we know we must beat Trump so we must have the best candidate...the Dem party is bigger than one man

hey man he has stuttering Problem since he was young

Why are you not saying these things about Trump

It's the new CNN owners?

Maybe it is Jill who has the health issue?

CNN IS NOT MY FAVORITE ANYMORE.

david can certainly be dismissive of all the votes for Biden.

What the hell is wrong with you people there’s nothing wrong with Joe Biden I am starting to think it’s something wrong with you people on this network

The answer was that it was for military people assigned to or near the White House. Not President Biden

I can't wait for ESPN to do an ESPN 30/30 of the downfall of CNN!

Why aren't you talking about Trump and his lies?

He was a neurologist, Anderson so dementia would be covered there. Do your research dude. Bad reporting. Where is Trumps health, taxes etc. thought cnn was balanced reporting, we are not seeing that at all. Get over it Anderson. Trump does word salad all the time.

Why CNN dont talk about Donald Trump?

I have a message for Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation. *Over my dead body!*

NO! You fools ... concentrate on the better person as president ...! Does the orange one look healthY to you?

U guys are nuts. The ppl will decide who they want to boye for

Kamala has been like a backdrop, her smiling face albeit lovely, sadly became a frustrating image management hyped look for me. Biden is so lovely too. Yet I can’t unsee the months of his struggles and Mrs. Biden’s interactions that seem odd and concerning to pump up something while with him. This on top of feeling betrayed the 3 individuals that chose to run against Biden got no debate floor whatsoever. The DNC does not speak for the public, yet they did. This is not democracy.

Does Anderson have Parkinson's? "David, What- I mea- wh- mmmmmm" WTF? This man is an anchor???

Dear Anderson Cooper: Blink much?

Can you please get every pundit, journalist and commentator to state clearly where they got their medical degrees? Also why are they not focussing on Trump's decline which actual medical professionals, who have relevant qualifications, are expressed their concerns about?

There's a distinction between Parkinson's and Parkinsonism, which has a variety of forms and can involve dementia.

The press secretary tired of lying lol😅

Can we just focus on saving our democracy?

Oh shut up, David. Get behind Biden or get out of the way.

He is a Neurologist an expert on Parkinson's Disease. Get it Right!

What part of Biden say he is not quitting for any reason does Axelrod not understand?

Vote in waves 🌊 Joe Biden has my vote … God bless America 🇺🇸

Who the hell is paying off CNN? Something off going on here?

I stopped watching mainstream news and late night TV, 20 years ago. I figured out it was not news but opinions. In fact, propaganda.

Anderson Cooper maybe it is time for you to retire. It seems like you know longer believe in actually investigating a story to get the facts before you report it on air. Reporting should be fair and balanced. Currently your reporting is imbalanced and very sloppy work! Disappointing!!

Have ANY reporter looked at the medical records provided?

Axelrod must want everyone to vote for trump. He is fanning the flames against Biden in support of asking stupid questions. Why? Is he just trying to stay relevant? And you Anderson, why are you stirring up controversy against Biden? It doesn’t matter if Biden is sometimes confused or if he had a bad day at the debate. Biden isn’t my first choice to vote for, but I am convinced VOTING FOR BIDEN is the only option. I’m voting for Biden.

I just labeled one of the pawns on my chessboard "CNN"

I remember the 1984 presidential debate between Reagan and Mondale. When asked if his age is a problem, Reagan responded that he will never exploit for political purposes the youth and inexperience of his opponent. The whole room broke out laughing. It even made Mondale laugh. That is a masterclass on dispelling doubts about a candidate's cognitive ability. When compared to how Biden did and continues to do, it must make Democrats embarrassed that Biden is their man.

Media is going crazy.. which is helping Trump.. we have to give this to right wing guys and media.. they didn’t move an inch post Trump conviction
