Ex-CNN reporter John Harwood gushes over sharply partisan address: Biden critics 'look pretty dumb'

Liberal-leaning journalists and media personalities gave President Biden's State of the Union speech high praise, with some claiming that it made his detractors look foolish for voicing concerns over his age.

Former CNN journalist John Harwood, known as one of the most sycophantic Biden White House boosters in the media, mocked the president's critics for saying they were worried about his vitality.

"[T]hose Dems complaining that Biden lacks vigor and fight getting splash of cold water in the face right now," he wrote, later adding that the "people yapping for so long about Biden not being up to the job look pretty dumb this morning."

"My fellow Americans the issue facing our nation isn’t how old we are it’s how old our ideas are? Hate, anger, revenge, retribution are among the oldest of ideas," CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem wrote, quoting from Biden's speech. "It would seem Biden has landed on a perfect framing for the age issue."

Being hopped up on Hunter dust for an hour is one thing......a four year stretch is another thing all together.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I’d like some of the juice he had.

He was wired! Not, his usually drifty, dreamy self.

[jacknhoo]

Well good, then he should be prosecuted for stealing Top Secret documents when he was Senator and VP.

Obviously, the reasons put forward for not prosecuting Joe Biden were proven false last night.

[Red Badger]

Okay.............

IF THIS SPEECH SHOWS BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT HE IS COGNIZANT AND NOT SENILE, THEN HE CAN BE PROSECUTED FOR THOSE DAMN DOCUMENTS IN HIS GARAGE AND UPENN OFFICES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........................

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I remember when the democrats threw a Walleyed fit fit when Reagan was elected at the age of 69 years, claiming he was too old and would not finish his first term.
Now they say a senile old coot is still the man for the job at 81.
All he needed was a toothbrush mustache, a comb over, a brown suit and an XX arm band and he would look like some one (or two) from the past. Now who could that be.....

Biden gives his SOTU campaign stump speech.

....... the press corps is increasingly pressured by the White House. Biden folk always expect the mainstream press to carry their water; whatever they want said of the president and the administration, they poke the press about what to say and think about and look into.

The press in turn is thinking: Why don’t you make your own points at events, and we’ll report what you did? It is a real Biden weakness—and ultimately self defeating—that Democratic White Houses expect so much from the press, focus on its members so much and rough them up when they don’t come through.

It would sound so much better in GERMAN!......................

[Bob434]

it wasnt really proven- He still can’t perform without a teleprompter most likely- BUT- the dems wanna play the game that it proves he is still sharp- and with it- then he can go to trial for the documents- The left painted themselves into a corner by declaring that a prepared speech written and presented on a teleprompter shows that biden is with it cognitively-

Question is- will the right speak up and demand he stand trial like Trump is being forced to stand trial?

That wasnt a SOTU speech....that was his 2024 campaign stump speech.

Democrats were ordered to watch Harris.........b/c Biden had a pre-arranged scheme
to have her stand up and clap every 5 minutes to get him as many “standing ovations” as possible.

Media should report how many times Kamala robotically stood
and crazily clapped as Democrats obediently followed her lead.

It was all calculated......planned in advance to get
Biden media play.....and maybe a bump in the polls.

Kamala isn’t used to such exercise up down, up down—she’s at her best on her knees.

Democrats really got their exercise. Clapping on command
every 5 minutes obliterated any meaning to his gibberish.

It would be hilarious if the media focused on Kamala’s rehearsed “cues”
to the dumb Democrats who Biden figured wouldnt know when to clap.

So he made a deal w/ Kamala .......gave her the speech and told her
to memorize the red-lined parts so she’d know when to stand and clap.

At long last, she had something to do she could really handle.

[Fireone]

It’s not his age, as much as they want to use that to paint him the victim.
It’s his fitness for office, which is demonstrably lacking.
He can’t do the job, isn’t doing the job, and hasn’t done the job.
He’s failed in all aspects of the Presidency, while implementing Obama’s radical policies by executive order, as fast as they can keep him pumped up.

[Migraine]

“Hate, anger, revenge, retribution are among the oldest of ideas...”

All of which filled his speech from stem to stern.

I haven’t heard any of the lamestreams refer to the speech as “dark” yet. Hmmm... I guess dark is a one-way adjective.

[Liz]

Democrats say Biden’s now a fiery “fighter,” a screaming, angry leader of limitless accomplishments.

So what happened to the kind, gentle doddering bereaved oldster Special Counsel Hur told us about?

Hur said THAT Biden was so forgetful, too nice and no one could possibly hold him accountable for mishandling boxes of US classified documents.

THAT Biden....... who undermined the safety and security of American Families with complete impunity....... has now “morphed” into a “trusted beacon of Democrat leadership” with just one speech.

Will miracles never cease?.....snx

Can you imagine what it must have been like back at the WH later that night? likely still wound up- but crashing-

[bray]

Were these taped before or after the speech.

[Herman Ball]

At 84 and can read a teleprompter as well without being doctored up!

[Bob434]

[[Hur said THAT Biden was so forgetful, too nice and no one could possibly hold him accountable for mishandling boxes of US classified documents.]]

A Re-investigation needs to be done because Hur was so obviously off the mark IF this is how dems wanna portray obiden-

Republicans should be coming out and stating emphatically that Hur didn’t know what he was talking about and that the SOTU speech proved it- the GOP should play right along in the game- and pretend that Hur was wrong- (He wasn’t really, and we all know it- but the dems are pretending that Hur was wrong- so play the game- and run with the documents charges like the left are doing to Trump-

[coalminersson]

so, he’s fit to stand trial now?
