Surrounded by protective aides who want to minimize the chances of a flub, the 81-year-old president has chafed at restraints that he sees as counter to his natural instincts as a retail politician, a third person familiar with internal discussions said.
He has felt cocooned at times and has been eager to get out more, meet voters face-to-face and take the fight directly to Trump, said the third person and a fourth also familiar with the matter who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss campaign strategy and the president’s private views.
Fucking idiot consultants… precisely what Biden needs to do is get out and talk to more people in intimate settings.
Yea, he’s old… and that’s a flaw for him. If he talks to people directly and cultivates the “sharp grandpa” image it’ll be extremely helpful for him.
They don’t want him to look like a “confused grandpa” but I think you’re right that he needs to get out there more. Flubs and all. Joe needs to get out there and fight like a wolverine. By them keeping him “on a leash” he looks weak and voters see through it.
Yea, if they keep him locked in the basement people just assume the worst - they assume all the right wing bullshit is true and he’s locked away out of shame.

The state of the union proved he is right. Completely destroyed the GOP narrative and put out a ton of info that most people support.
