I was surprised. It was an important speech that I think I will remember more than any state of the union so far. The dude is a legit president, not a conman taking advantage of the position for his benefit.
"not a conman taking advantage of the position for his benefit."
This doesn't sit well with me lol. Too kind for Trump but also is an accurate description of 98% of politicians, Biden included. Not bashing on you cuz I know what you meant tho.
Call me Captain Obvious but I thought it was very presidential.
I thought that he seemed surprisingly lucid, with it, put together. The overall content was gracious and grateful and praising of the country.
That said, I'm terrified about the future of the United States.
Still very old but COViD didn't put him down ... and he is still giving his heart and soul to the nation ❤️
Dude's been in the game for like 50 years. He's one tough old summabitch.
Here's a link to the transcript. Just read it and thought it was very, very good. I'll try to watch the video tomorrow. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/24/us/politics/biden-speech-transcript.html
Can't access that link. It's paywalled.
I think this is the same speech published on the whitehouse page?

Or a mysterious fourth option?
This is lemmy, you're not allowed a political opinion that doesn't align with the hive mind, there are no other options
There's at least seven Lemmy hiveminds
Biden had a speech?
