Obama Defense Sec. Warns Biden Wrong on Nearly Every Major Foreign Policy Issue
Defense Secretary Robert Gates used to work with the Obama administration. When he recently granted an interview to Face The Nation, he had some very interesting things to say about Joe Biden. Margaret Brennan is the host of the show and when she asked him to expand on something that he said in his memoir, the interview got very revealing.
Gates wrote that he values Biden as a human being but went on to say that he is usually wrong when it comes to matters that are related to foreign policy. Brennan even asked Gates if he believed that Biden would be a good president. He did not mince words. “I don’t know,” said Gates.
The heavy sigh that he let out before he said he did not know says it all, doesn’t it? It’s pretty telling when the people who know Biden best are not willing to offer up an unequivocal endorsement of his skill set. On the bright side, Gates did say that Biden is a man of integrity who always speaks his mind.
He also said that he knows he could lean on Joe if he was experiencing a personal crisis. While it’s great that Biden would leave his house in the middle of the night to help you fix a flat tire, that’s not a quality that we are looking for in the leader of the free world.
Being president is about more than being a really nice guy. Despite all of Biden’s kindness, Gates believes that he has been wrong about foreign policy for several decades now. This does not inspire confidence that he would make the right decisions if he was able to somehow win the presidency.
Biden and Gates did agree on some key issues during the Obama presidency. However, they were not able to come to an agreement on Afghanistan or any issues that are related to the military. If this interview was supposed to give people major pause when it comes time to vote for Biden, mission accomplished.

In Gates’ mind, Biden’s success would depend on his ability to get along with members of the senior military. If the right personalities are on hand, Biden might be able to come to some sort of consensus with them. From where we are sitting, that is a pretty big if.
These are not the words of encouragement that Biden was probably hoping for. No one is looking for a president that they would like to have a beer with at the moment. The stakes are too high for that type of talk. The nation needs a leader who can work with everyone and make the right decisions about foreign policy. They do not need someone whose best quality is their kindness.
Bear in mind, these words are coming from someone who has close ties to the Obama administration. What motivation would he have to make Biden look bad? If anything, he was probably downplaying the severity of Biden’s poor decision making. It’s not like his cognitive skills are going to improve as he ages, either. What hope do the Democrats have if this is their best possible candidate?
Biden does not help matters when he is unable to articulate his own stances in an intelligent and coherent manner. He leaves himself open to all sorts of mockery. From the looks of it, he changes his mind on various issues on a daily basis. He waits to find out more about what his handlers have to say about the issues at hand and then he makes his choices. It’s not exactly the most efficient system, is it?
He has been able to achieve political longevity by remaining malleable at all times. He does not have any real accomplishments to speak of. Biden simply goes along with whatever wave looks the best at the time. If history does not absolve him of his poor decision making, he flip flops to the other side. He’s been doing it for decades now and we are glad that someone is finally willing to call him out for it on national television.
The idea of this man leading the country should be terrifying to anyone with a pulse. He can barely count the number of grandchildren that he has, let alone make the important policy decisions that are going to guide America through this difficult time. The best case scenario for any Biden supporter is that his handlers will give him some busy work to do while they sit down to make all of the real choices.
Like!! Great article post.Really thank you! Really Cool.
Thanks so much for the blog post.
I really like and appreciate your blog post.
Senile Joe has been a crook and an idiot his whole life. They did not give him the nickname of doofus for nothing. With the onset of dementia he is unable to tell the difference between his sister and his wife. Who in their right mind would want him to be president of our country. The best thing they could do for senile Joe is to find him his rocking chair and make sure he uses somewhere out of sight.
By election day, poor ole dopey Joe won’t even know his own name.
cant understand why so many americans are supporting him,they cant all have dementia
A man of INTEGRITY? . . . REALLY?!? Has ANYONE heard what he says FLIP FLOPS on EVERYTHING to get a vote, and is a Socialist/Communist with the REST of the Democratic party? One AMAZED and Wary Patriot. Team Trump and his allies 2020.
Joe is anything but a nice guy! Why no more interest in the Billion dollars Beijing gave his son Hunter? Why no questions regarding his involvement in the failed coup that clumsily failed to topple a sitting President? Why no indictments in the Burisma scandal? Why so little concern about his blocking access to his official papers stored at the U of Delaware? Nice guy my ass!
Biden is FKg idiot with no brain
What do you expect from a Democrat who did what Obama told him to and when he messed up with his speeches he was not seen for a while on the podium.
Biden is the best the Democrat’s can do? LOL. Doesn’t say a whole lot of the DNC.
THIS IS THE SADEST STATE OF MIND FOR SOMEONE WHO IS RUNNING FOR THE HIGHEST JOB IN THE NATION!!!!! IF YOU VOTE FOR BIDEN……CHINA WILL OWN THE USA AND RUSSIA!!!!! THESE COUNTRIES ARE JUST WAITING TO SEE HOW SMART THE AMERICAN PEOPLE REALLY ARE?????? AMERICA WE ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE IF ANYONE IN THE DEMO”RAT PARTY WINS ANY ELECTION????? THEY CAN’T EVEN GO TO WORK NOW…..WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE??????? FORTUNATELY WE HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT WORKS 24/7 FOR NO PAY CHECK!!!! AND CAN DEAL WITH AND MAKE DECISIONS FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!!
Patty you are so right.
I don’t know whether Bob Gates is a “kind” man or not! But, if he is, he is obviously allowing that kindness to overwhelm his common sense! Joe Biden is, by any stretch, a mentally damaged individual! He has presented that for all to see many times recently and there is no reason to believe that the condition is going to change! The current problems introduced by that lady notwithstanding, his visible mental impairment should be the salient reason for him to step aside voluntarily or asked to do so by family and/or his DNC handlers! Might there be a suitable replacement? Not in the current bunch of “prospects”! Not a one, no sir!!
GATES was wrong–BIG!!
J. Biden is NOT–repeat–definitely NOT a man of integrity.
He is also not MENTALLY fit to be POTUS!!
It’s a MYSTERY why the Demonrats are all-in on him. Watch for surprises during the conventions.
Bait and switch… Biden is a mirage only… make Republicans build a campaign aimed at Biden, then at the last minute, Biden fails a medical check up and … well, lookee here, a surprise candidate that requires Republicans to do some last minute back ground checking, etc. etc. with the hope the election arrives before Republicans catch up.
Everyone knows what a disaster it would be if Jo Biden is elected President. And this guy is so beyond knowing it.
Well obama thought he was the man , who would make him look good ? Well that was a flop . He’s a Democrat and that’s just wrong for America.
beside oboma anyone would look good except his crazy wife , they both deserve each other
Biden is not able to think clearly anymore and he can not speak in complete sentences.
Basically, JB is a placeholder for the democrats! Waiting in the wings is BHO & HRC, eager to ‘take over’ for him when he falters! If Michelle Obama is JB’s choice for VP that will provide the porthole for the above to take control of US and its people! We have to make sure that the above scenario doesn’t happen, please!
