    Now he’s reading his answers on Afghanistan at the podium.

        He’s telling the same story again on immigrants. That is a bad sign.

          Has he said he was born a poor black child yet?

          I was only joking

            I tuned in a few minutes after 2PM Eastern. The stuff on foreign relationship with China and the stuff on infrastructure are good. I was somewhat distracted when he was answering the last series of immigration questions but that too sounded quite alright.

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

                  Never said they were. It's just scary amusing how the assessment changed in 7 minutes.

                    I didn't watch, I was planting lilacs in the backyard.

                    My understanding is that Mr. Biden said about Mr. Trump, "my predecessor, oh God I miss him."

                    I'm not surprised.

                      Not "changed," just commenting on two different aspects at different times. E.g., one can first say 'this design is colorful' and then seven minutes later say 'this design is practical'; to the extent that being 'colorful' and being 'practical' are not mutually exclusive, saying something is 'colorful' and then saying that it is 'practical' is usually not considered an "assessment change" in the usual manner of speaking.

                          "Following the President’s press conference, the Fox News host blasted Biden for staying on point and using “suspiciously complete sentences.”

                                    He most assuredly faded toward the end. On topics where he had deeper knowledge he did better, but it was clear he was tired and got out of there as quickly as he could. At times he reverted to what few stump speeches he had.

                                    Overall I would say he did okay, and his tone and underlying themes will play well.
