” You got the greatest country in the world – and I have nothing but admiration and respect for , President Biden,  , but it’s time for him to pass the torch to a younger creation”, Barkley added. ” He’s been a great person, he’s been a great man – this ai n’t something I’m saying now, I’ve said it like a year ago. It’s time for him to complete the torch”.
