WASHINGTON — As President Joe Biden prepared to deliver one of the biggest speeches of his presidency, he met with a close group of aides at the White House and read drafts aloud from top to bottom. He practiced in front of teleprompters at Camp David, making sure the language was relatable and clear.
And, in quiet moments ahead of the State of the Union address Tuesday evening, he marked up his speech with subtle lines and dashes that he has long used as a signal to take a breath, pause between his words or steer through a tricky transition.
Biden is the first modern president to have a stutter, which he has navigated since childhood and still speaks of in emotional terms. According to seven current and former aides who have helped Biden prepare for high-profile speeches throughout his career, the president’s shorthand will help him as he delivers an hourlong speech in which he will have to make an emphatic case for his legislative achievements and urge Republicans and Democrats to work together.
In the Biden White House, once a serviceable State of the Union draft has been created — after several rounds of preparation between Biden and his team — a larger group of aides is pulled into the process.
As he prepared to deliver his speech last March, Biden was reading through a final draft of the address up until shortly before he delivered the remarks, two people familiar with the timeline said. His final shorthand notes were not transferred over to his teleprompters, those people said.
Instead, Biden relied on his memory and the draft in front of him.

Someone in the audience should let go a few helium balloons..
PLEASE go off the script. It’s so entertaining and inappropriately hilarious!
stutter.....sure

If this is true, the senile moron is so f&%d.
How hard is it for a Republican to bring a mini chinese balloon in there and inflate it and set it free while Biden talks?
The media would go absolutely insane but it would be worth it.
Why not? Doofus is going to THEIR house...
PLEASE go off the script. It’s so entertaining and inappropriately hilarious!

Hilarious to YOU, maybe, but think of the poor sign-language interpreter! They’ll need hazard pay.
My sources at the White House said the practice session went something like this:
Teleprompter: I want peace.
Mr. Biden (reading): I want pudding.
Aide: Sir, it’s “peace”, not “pudding”.
Mr. Biden (irritated): That’s exactly what I just said! I want pudding.
I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘the stutter’ will be in full force tonight.
As he is a low IQ white male, that is the only thing they can fall back on to keep everyone from criticizing him.
I doubt that there is a Republican with enough BALLS to do that. Hell, tearing up the speech would cause a hissy fit by the Media. A balloon, they will want the Republican executed on the spot. I ain’t watchin, so I don’t care what happens.

All Moabama uttered was stuttered.
I’d like to see the results of his drug test prior to the speech.
Will the visitors’ log show the medics who are calling on him about now with all their goodies?
Yes. I see this story as “setting the stage” for a very poor delivery. I think Biden is fading — but a poor speech will be due to that “stutter”.
The medidiots keep claiming byedung has a stutter. Any proof of this? There’s plenty more of proof that he’s a congenital liar, a thief, a traitor, and a grifter. Any concerns about that?
Biden gave a tear proof copy to McCarthy.
These days, Brandon goes absolutely robotic when he gives one of his speeches.
