Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
The Axe Files with Bob Gates.
David had a great conversation with Gates. I liked the discussion about the OBL raid and the age question and the type of energy required as they relate to high profile positions like president and Sec. of Defense. Gates said that when he retired as Secretary of Defense at his comparatively young age he was worn out.
David asked about the Biden age factor but, typically, Gates offered no commentary on that. He wouldn't comment on Red Don as a leader either. He did make it clear that he didn't like donnie's attacks on McCain though. Regardless, he didn't do Joe any favors tonight.
Worth the watch.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Undecided
