Biden’s California fundraiser: Letters to the Editor — June 19, 2024

The Issue: Ex-prez Barack Obama leads President Biden offstage at major fundraising event.

On stage at a California fundraiser over the weekend, former President Barack Obama escorted President “Hand Puppet Joe” Biden off the stage, perhaps to get some ice cream or a diaper change (“Frail Joe Is No Gaffe-ing Matter, Dems,” Piers Morgan, June 18).

How could anyone with compassion for the elderly allow this to go on, let aloneꦐ continue for another four years?

It’s obvious that Obama is Biden’s puppet master.

If Biden is 🍒re-elected, the US will continue its transition into the world’s largest and most corrupt banana republic.

I under🐎stand that The Post is a newspaဣper with right-wing tendencies.

But what is wrong with a man standing before a cheering audience for a few moments to show his appreciation of their support before walking off stage with his dear fr💙iend? I am curious; do tell.

The vid🔜eo showing Obama reaching for President Biden’s hand during the Democratic fundraiser in Los Angeles is sad to watch.

It reminds me of a second grade class trip, when a child has to hold their partner’s hand in order to not get separated. I’m not a fan of Biden, but I surely don’t want hi🔯m to be embarrassed publicly as a human being.

There is no doubt he is unfit to serve as president for a secಌond term. Let us all be mindful of this when we vote this coming November.

I’m not surprised to see President Biden being dog-walked by🍨 Obama.

They actually have a lot in common and a strong connection, as ༒good owners d﷽o with their pets.

They’re both mass murderers and war criminals. Obama’s drone strikes massacred thousands꧅ of innocent children in Pakistan, Afghanistan and the rest of the Middle East. Likewise, Biden’s policy of appeasement to Israel has mad🔜e us complicit in the genocide of Palestinians.

It’s about time Biden and his owner retire some­where where the reౠdꦗ fern grows.

The Issue: Retiree Advocate, a chapter in the teacher’s union, toppling President Michael Mulgrew’s allies.

In the article about the UFT Retired Teacher’s Chapter election, The Post referred to the winning voters as dissidents of a “renegade” Retiree Advocate faction (“Retired NYC teachers t🌳oss out union prez’s crew in furor over Medicare coverage,” June 16).

We silver foxes are simply standing up for ourselves — both to maintain the health benefits we earned at reti💝rement and to preserve our dඣemocratic voice in our own union.

Retiree Advo🌃cate UFT won, as they are a legitimate opposition caucus within the union fighting to preserve our original Medicare plౠan and the members’ existing premium-free supplemental health benefits. Plain and simple.

The🍌y are♒ not just a renegade faction, as was reported.

UFT retirees were told they would have health i🅷nsuranc🍌e after they retired.

We sacrificed, had low wages for years during our tenure and held the city together through many a crisis. And now, in our later years when health cove🦄rage is so essential, both the city and union I supported and paid dues into respectively are trying to take that away by forcing us onto another plan.
