Embarrassing excuse offered for Biden’s vanishing State of the Union Address

All of a sudden, here it is the end of February and there is no State of the Union (SOTU) address scheduled for President Biden. That’s odd because last month, Biden promised what sounds exactly like a SOTU:

"Next month, in my first appearance before a joint session of Congress, I will lay out my 'Build Back Better' recovery plan," he said. "It will make historic investments in infrastructure, manufacturing, innovation, and research and development in clean energy."

AP and PBS both got wind that the address was to be given on February 23 in and said so in posts that are now deep-sixed:

But on February 16, Jen Psaki denied such a plan in a press conference:

[W]hen asked about the timing, his press secretary Jen Psaki said there had never been a plan for him to address a joint session this month.
"We don't know where the Feb. 23 date came from. It's a great mystery,” she said during the regular daily briefing.
“I've not Nancy Drewed that one out today, but it was never planned to be in February, and we don't have a date for a joint session at this point," Psaki said, comparing herself to the popular character in a series of children's books who solves mysteries.

Of course, it is only tradition, that a president address a joint session of Congress early in the year to fulfill the constitutional requirement (Article II, Section 3) that a POTUS “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient….”

Anyone know when we going to get the "Biden's State of Mental Health Address"?

2020 Democratic frontrunner, Joe Biden, answering a debate question about his record on race. This is an actual quote...

Biden: Social workers help parents deal with how to raise their children. It’s not that they don’t want to help, they don’t know what to play the radio, make sure the television — excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night, the — make sure that kids hear words, a kid coming from a very poor school — a very poor background will hear 4 million words fewer spoken by the time we get there.

Moderator: Thank you, Mr. Vice President

Joe Biden describing how children would rub his leg hair when he was a lifeguard at a Delaware pool:

“And by the way, you know, I sit on the stand, and it’d get hot.

I gotta lotta, I got hairy legs, that turn, that, that, that, that turn, uh, uh, um, blond in the sun.

And the kids used to come up and reach into the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and then watch the hair, mmm, come, come back up again,” Mr. Biden said.

“So I learned about roaches and I learned about kids jumping on my lap. And I love kids jumping on my lap ...” (all actual quotes!)

“I ran outta gas.
I had a flat tire.
I didn’t have enough money for cab fare.
My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners.
An old friend came in from outta town.
Someone stole my car.
There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locusts.
It wasn’t my fault!
I swear to God!”

No! No! No! One of Joe’s dogs ate the SOTU speech. Probably the same dog that tripped Joe as he exited his shower naked. Joe is at his best when he is naked. Just ask the female secret service agents that were forced to watch him skinny dip in his pool.
