Back in the &#8217;60s, could have gone to USNA having asthma.<\/p>\n<p>In 1961, our beloved President, Joe Biden, was such an outstanding football prospect he was gonna play for Navy. Really. He&#8217;s not kidding. Just ask him. Or maybe it was 1965?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;By the way, I\u2019m all Navy. But I was appointed\u2026 I was gonna go play [football] at the Naval Academy until I found out the other guys in the backfield were a guy named Roger Staubach and Joe Bellino,&#8221; Biden told military personnel and their families on Sunday at an early holiday meal dubbed &#8220;Friendsgiving&#8221; held in a hangar at Naval Station Norfolk in Norfolk, Virginia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Really? An entering freshman would know that a future Hall of Famer was entering as a freshman after one season at a military school across the country. Staubach was hardly a household name then.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In June, Biden told Air Force graduates he applied to the Naval Academy after graduating high school, which was in 1961. Last year, the president told Naval Academy graduates he was &#8220;appointed to the [Naval] Academy in 1965.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No record of his applying, or being a potential admission, in either year. Probably just as well, even if any of this claims <em>were<\/em> true, that he didn&#8217;t go to Canoe U. If they are true, he derailed his entire future for fear of competition. Best he DIDN&#8217;T become an officer with that kind of attitude.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m proud of all of you. And I want to assure you one thing I hope I&#8217;ve demonstrated so far. We always, always have your back, always have your back,&#8221; Biden also told service members Sunday, a day before his 81st birthday.\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/biden-slammed-repeating-claim-naval-163350179.html\">Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, he&#8217;s always behind you&#8230; I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve felt him there &#8211; often. And should we observe that, like Donald Trump, he was so debilitated he couldn&#8217;t be drafted and had 5 exemptions&#8230;but could have played football for Navy.<\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t even keep his lies straight.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Standards have tightened over the years, apparently.
