Biden did better than I expected him to, mostly because I expected him to make a lot more verbal mistakes.
It was, as all state of the union speeches seem to be, a bunch of lies and posturing, but there was a hint of “getting the message” and turning away from the more radical things some Democrats have been pushing, like “defund the police.”
He tried to show compassion, strength and confidence re: Ukraine, which is the right thing to do, but his policies need to catch up.
Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments.
Biden has been consistently opposed to “defund the police,” as most Democrats have as well. He is not turning away from something that he was never close to in the first place. It is nonsense of the GOP to pin that on them. But if you wanna hear a festival of BS just take a listen to the recent CPAC meeting.
There were only a few minor gaffs in speech, but no more than one can normally expect – from anyone really in an hour long speech. His powers of articulation plainly exceed those of his predecessor, as he does in so many other ways.
