    To sum up:

    People who like Biden liked it

    People who don't, didn't

    I've never watched a SOTU speech in my entire life.

    There was a teachable moment where Biden compared America unfavorably to a bunch of other countries, including Russia.

    Education is extremely important.

      Tantamount to an attempt on the president's life, which is an insurrection. And I do NOT use that word lightly.

      Yeah, but Biden got his revenge. After all that coughing into his hand, he exited while shaking hands.

        • WaPo story headline: Biden delivers State of the Union with fiery political tone
        • WaPo story lead: "President Biden delivered a fiery State of the Union address Thursday night..."
        • WaPo video headline (I kid you not): "Biden's feistiest State of the Union exchanges" (WaPo really commits to the bit!)
        • Punchbowl: A feisty Biden blasts GOP foes
        • Also Punchbowl: "If you are a casual political observer, you tuned into the State of the Union Thursday night and saw a feisty President Joe Biden..." It's a twofer!

                Didn’t you get the memo?

                The current Codger and Chief will be doing just that for the next 8 months or so. He’s going against the self proclaimed American Moses, His Obesity, The Oracle of Orange.

                      I didn’t watch it, but sounds like he didn’t completely flub it because of his age.

                      The content doesn’t matter so much - was he able to deliver it?

                            I don’t think so, we’re definitely dealing with a mover and shaker here. In fact, they say he’s a movement. The new Moses. Soon to part a sea of great change near you.

                                        How did The Epoch Times hijack the NYT web site?

                                        "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          Did anybody see/hear the response speech from Sen. Britt?

                                          Hmm, was not to impressive in my opinion.
