Biden’s SOTU blasted as 'nakedly partisan' campaign speech: 'Utter disgrace'
Fox News ^ | 3/07/24 | Andrew Mark Miller

Posted on 03/08/2024 1:16:55 AM PST by Libloather

resident Biden’s State of the Union speech was trashed by prominent political pundits for its political nature, with some likening it to more of a campaign speech than an overview of the state of the country.

"Attacking his opponent directly in the first minutes of his speech is unprecedented and perhaps the most partisan start to a State of the Union address in modern memory," AEI Senior Fellow and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush Marc Thiessen wrote on X during Biden’s Thursday night speech.

Biden criticized former President Donald Trump several times during his speech.

"This man should never be allowed to take the rostrum of the House and deliver a State of the Union address again," Thiessen posted on X moments later.

"As someone who helped write several SOTUs and who reveres this important presidential institution, I’m stunned by this address," Thiessen said in another post. "It’s an utter disgrace."

"Does anyone remember a State of the Union speech so nakedly partisan as this one?" Georgetown Law Professor Randy Barnett posted on X.

"In which the President repeatedly attacks his predecessor and prospective rival? I can’t."

"This speech is nothing but a cheap and tawdry campaign speech," conservative radio host and author Mark Levin posted on X.

"Biden is just off," former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer posted on X. "His tone, his speed of delivery, his loud punchy way of speaking, is really weird."

So now he equates the death of his son Beau, who succumbed to cancer, not war in the Middle East, with being murdered by an illegal/‘undocumented newcomer’?.

And, apparently it was more than just Beau that he lost. He said he’s lost CHILDREN.

It wasn't THAT bad.

After all, Joe waited until his THIRD sentence to bring up HITLER!


Good evening.
Mr. Speaker. Madam Vice President. Members of Congress. My Fellow Americans.

1. In January 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt came to this chamber to speak to the nation.
2. He said, “I address you at a moment unprecedented in the history of the Union.”
3. Hitler was on the march. War was raging in Europe.
4. President Roosevelt’s purpose was to wake up the Congress and alert the American people that this was no ordinary moment.  
5. Freedom and democracy were under assault in the world.
6. Tonight I come to the same chamber to address the nation.

Well, yes, I do.

But it happened BEHIND the President.

He never blinked.

I told my wife....”Compare his eye blinks to Harris and Johnson sitting behind him”. They had a normal rhythm of blinks. FJB didn’t.

I watched it for about 10 minutes. I just can’t sit still and listen to a continuous stream of lies. Just can’t do it.

Too much anger and screaming. Is this type of speech a way to win an election? He didn’t sound humble and kind. It was shout, shout, let it all out.....His song could be titled “Rage against Republicans.”

It truly was the weirdest, angriest SOTU speech I’ve ever seen...

Well, in Joe's defense, he DID have the mannerisms of a certain fella mentioned in line #3 of his speech last night, down pat!

At his next press event, which could be months from now, and when he’s off his meds and back to his bumbling, mumbling self I’d like to see someone ask him why he seemed to have so much energy at the SOTU and yet can’t put two sentences together for a simple press conference. Hmm. Peculiar.

He also addressed the Supremes as Obama once did. Very disrespectful.

I half expected for Johnson to finally LEAP from his chair and plunge a dagger into Joe to shut him up!

You can count me on that

He stumbled far less than usual

Yes it was a political rant

Yes he was angry

Yes he delivered punchy

But he did deliver compared to his usual feebleness

No question of that

I’m curious how they did it honestly

I watched a bit of it.

He seemed to be “on” something.

Meth? Coke?
