Abcarian: I almost wrote off Joe Biden in 2020. Boy, was I wrong then. What about now?

Was I the only journalist in America who thought President Biden’s State of the Union speech Tuesday was hard to watch? At least until he departed from his script and began sparring with the nation’s rudest Republicans?

Sometimes when Biden starts to speak, I involuntarily hold my breath, waiting for him to stumble over his words, or slur them or otherwise mangle his text in a way that will show up in clips on Fox News or MAGA Twitter. See, he’s incompetent!

Worrying about this detracts from the pleasure of having a solid Democratic president after four years of Trumpian chaos and bluster. Biden's halting delivery may be in part due to his lifelong stutter, but it's more likely due to his advanced age.

At 80, after all, he’s our oldest president, a fact that Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the country’s youngest governor, callowly pointed out in her bizarre State of the Union rebuttal.

Three years ago, when Biden was vying for the Democratic presidential nomination against Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris et al, I stood in a jam-packed high school gym in Des Moines, surrounded by a who’s who of American political journalists, watching what many of us believed was the swan song of the well-regarded former vice president.

It was kind of sad, but hey, he’d had a good long run, and who could begrudge him one last romp on the trail?

“Joe sat in his basement while the Democrat voter fraud mechanism dragged him across the line.“
Apparent to everyone, so transparent, yet nothing done, meanwhile a republican congress refuses to talk about it even after being poked by the illegitimate occupant of 1600 pencilvania’ avenew’ z dis the union blab.

Yeah I remember when all Nancy Pelosi did was rip up Trump's SOTU address. That wasn't rude was it you ugly hack, Robin Abcarian. I doubt you can even write an honest article, because without resorting to lies, you have nothing to offer.

Now you know why “journalism” is in the toilet.

What could have possibly changed his mind? He loves Obama
that much?

This Charlie McBiden routine is getting way way too old.

What’s a Republican?

Precisely. You have the Socialist Progressive Democrat party and the establishment Republicans have morphed into Democrats light. Both groups will work against Trump.

Looks more like the cleaning lady at the high school than a reporter . . .

To be fair, Biden’s best attribute was being useless and appearing innocuous while the media faked a campaign. So it’s not Biden she underestimated, but rather that they could trick so many people so simply.

Without even considering the Big Steal, this bloody moron figured out in Iowa what Biden actually is but yet thinks that since he won South Carolina and, subsequentially, the nomination, he must be great.

HINT: he's a machine creation, mohron.
