It's not laziness... it's clearly osteoporosis. Not his fault, but his poor posture is a clear reminder of his age, and a reminder that he's been in poor health. There are many articles online about posture and health, and how poor posture is a sign of poor health and how it can lead to other problems as well.

Don't believe me, just do a google search for "posture and health" and look for articles from reputable sources... avoid the ones trying to sell supplements, but stick with the gov't sites, edu sites, webmd and the like. Posture and aging, and posture and pain are also interesting search criteria.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
