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.

When it came right down to it, voters in 2020 didn’t seem to care about his age. …
Yep; piling on the fraud denial.

Who's who of journalists? No such prestigious thing. More like "Whore's whore".

What a goofy opinion piece from a light weight who disregarded Biden’s high inflation, the border catastrophe, the fentanyl crisis, Biden’s assist to Chinese balloon espionage, and one foreign policy disaster after another — all to pretend Biden has had a successful Presidency. I guess speeding up America’s demise is now an achievement for far left pundits.

Yeah, you were wrong then and wronger now. You hitched your wagon to a used up jackal and have no one to blame but yourself.

Robin Abcarian might be the only “Journalist” that found the SOTU address by Joe Stolen hard to watch, but a very large percentage of American voters (those that actually voted) also found it hard to watch, only the Democrat Socialists found much of comfort in what Joe had to say.

Almost all of it was a total distortion of truth and reality, and what was at least plausible did not bode well for the future of the United States of America, an increasingly divided and fragmenting collection of venues.

Along with a lot of other inhabitants of “red” America, I want a divorce from “blue” America. Wall them up in their enclaves, where they can run whatever cockamamie “social justice” schemes they want, and stay the hell out of the lives of the rest of us.

That’s what I believe."

Yet with Republican duplicity, Biden sits in the White House with a realistic chance of re-election in 2024.

Blame Republicans

Luckily for journalists, ChatGPT will write paragraphs of praise for Biden, but not for Trump. Another triumph for copy-and-paste journalism.
