I'm 75y/o And Sat Through Many SOTU Speeches......

[global1]

Joe is delivering the best SOTU Address of my lifetime.

I am proud of this President and proud that I voted for him and will again in Nov.

We Dems have had many great President's that served our country - but Joe is - in my humble opinion - the best President of my lifetime.

He's the right person at the right time to lead and to continue to lead our country.

[SoFlaBro]

1. Big Joe stepped the fuck up once again and delivered. MAGA has shit their pants over this oration.

[onecaliberal]

2. I agree. He is a man for the ages.. Made for the times.

[calimary]

24. And mark my words: when that sad day comes that Joe Biden is no longer with us,

You will hear Republican after Republican talking about how much they admired him and how much he impressed them even at such an advanced age, and blah blah blah. They'll be the exact some assholes who've tried every way in hell to block him from getting things done that he promised AND has delivered for America.

We must NEVER forget that.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

3. I was 2 when JFK was killed...

I've never had the chance to hear a POTUS speak with this much passion.

[soldierant]

69. I did - I was15 when JFK was nominated and 17 when he was murdered.

And his speeches were amazing.

But he didn't, that I know of, have the opportunity (if you want to call it that) to show how he could handle hecklers. And he didn't have the opportunity to get his programs accomplished (at least Johnson, though not without faults, faithfully carried that out.) He might have been just as good or better at those things, but since I can't assume it, I must give Joe the trophy.

[luvallpeeps]

4. He's tearing it up!🔥👊🏽😎🤘🏽

He brought it tonight! 🔥🔥🔥🔥Johnson wants to cry.

[Attilatheblond]

33. Seemed like the more Joe spoke, Johnson's hair was turning more grey before our eyes.

Truly a kick to seen how uncomfortable Mr Speaker was. And he knew it would be hell tomorrow when the Ruckus Caucus blamed him for their discomfort at being publicly spanked by Joe Biden.

My advice to Mike Johnson: Don't play poker, boy, your face speaks volumes.

[LittleGirl]

38. ha ha ha I saw that. ha ha ha nt

[luvallpeeps]

58. Squirming li'l magat. N/T

[AllaN01Bear]

59. make him squirm. i just read the entire text of the speach. wow.

[Attilatheblond]

60. Beyond Biden's great speech, Johnson was also treated to a reminder

that 'Speaker'Johnson is a weak, bumbling excuse for a leader who has NO real power and no control over his own caucus, while the Blue side of the aisle is united, tough, focused, and loaded for bear.

DEM leadership looked calm, confident and assured in contrast.

Johnson was exposed as the poser he is, and got a big spoonful of 'you best take your medicine and clear up the illness you and yours have, or you are gonna pay dearly' given to him by Joe Biden.

[flashman13]

61. There were a couple of times when Johnson looked like he had been kicked in the head by a mule.

And what was with all of the head nodding. Is Johnson truly a living bobble-head or was he just agreeing with Joe.

[asiliveandbreathe]

5. Totally ..hubby and I were just saying the same thing...

THE best SOTU in our life time..

[liberal N proud]

6. Knocking it out of the BALL PARK!

[Lucinda]

7. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[c-rational]

8. I completely agree. Well said!

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Clearly a historic SOTU, the speech and the president for these times!

[llmart]

12. My sister and I said the same thing!

We felt like history was being made. He nailed it tonight!

[Rhiannon12866]

13. And he clearly blew away all the comments about his age - Lawrence O'Donnell is praising the speech now on MSNBC

Joe Biden brought the house down, hit it out of the park! And the crowd reacted with enthusiasm, countless standing ovations!

[Joinfortmill]

11. Yup. Joe rocks!!! The age thing is dead.

[Uncle Joe]

14. I believe it's the best one that I've heard as well.

Thanks for the thread global

[yankee87]

15. One for the times

Speech will be studied for years

[dlk]

16. Extraordinary speech

Four more years!!!

[amuse bouche]

17. I loved it but Obama always did a great job too.

[Joinfortmill]

18. Yup, like I said, Obama smooth whiskey. Joe neighborhood brew.

[Historic NY]

19. He burned the House down Dark Brandon was all hells belss on the Republicans

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. Thanks Joe! We needed that.

I loved how he leaned in to the few heckles. He has the high road, the truth, and a big majority of the country with him.

[calimary]

21. I thought he was terrific!

Yes he was! Even with a wee bit of a stutter here and there, so what? He's older, he's struggled with stuttering since he was a kid, and he's been around the block about 100 times. So what? STILL right on point. Made me proud.

"You say no. Look at the facts! I know you know how to read!" OH MAN... Like chocolate syrup on semi-sweet fudge!

He's WUNNNNNNNNNDERFUL. Period.

[Arthur_Frain]

41. The wee bit of stutter

Reminded us all that he’s human, reminded us that he triumphed over it.

I didn’t see old tonight. I saw a guy at the top of his game after a lifetime of learned statesmanship.

Something I’ll not see again.

[calimary]

44. Yep, he's human. And if you work hard in spite of the obstacles, you can do GREAT things.

Great as in big, and great as in profound.

I thought he'd be good when I voted for him, but I didn't think he'd be this good. Maybe the best President in my lifetime. I see that comment in quite a few posts around here these days. I totally share that feeling.

[Walleye]

53. A great man always rises to the occasion

[calimary]

63. Yes indeedy!

[DemocraticPatriot]

50. Maybe not until his 2nd Inaugural address....

or maybe not again until his acceptance speech this summer....


President Biden has shown a habit of being fully able to meet these moments
with strength and spirit!!

That is why I like to call him President "Fighting Joe" Biden !!!

[ALBliberal]

22. I'm 62 completely agree

[ShazzieB]

23. I loved it!

He was on fire! He was passionate, scrappy, bold, feisty, assertive, and articulate. He was amazing!

[Warpy]

25. Joe's not pulling any punches

He's pretty much saying haw badly the Republicans have bungled things over the last 40 years and what he's done differently.

"Bout time.

Johnson's got his lower lip poked out. Not a good look, Mike.

[BarbD]

26. Way to go Joe!

Thanks for reminding me that my 86 years count for something.

[Arthur_Frain]

27. Best of my lifetime too.

Right man.

Right place.

Right time.

I’m ridin’ with Biden until he can’t drive no more.

[calimary]

37. Me, too! Definitely!

Too old? Senile? I don’t think so! Watched the whole thing and was impressed all over again.

[mamajudi]

28. Best SOTU

I totally agree...I'm 71 and when Joe said he was running for president, he was my choice from the start. Tonight, he was awesome. I have heard a lot of these.. This has to be the best I've ever heard. He made me swell with pride, and laugh too! He's a wonderful man. Everything he said tonight was heartfelt. And like you, I believe he is the right ...BEST person of our time.

[calimary]

40. Yes indeed!

I was VERY pleased. He was strong, vigorous, forceful yet heartfelt, in total command of all the MANY things he has to look after and stay on top of, as President.

I think he did an impressive job! Made me proud to be a Democrat and proud to have voted for him. And I’ll do it again in November.

[58Sunliner]

29. K & R!!!!!

[alfredo]

30. The speech was hardcore

I loved it. He might have won the election tonight. He took the fight to the Republicans.

Tonight we saw what experience brings to the office. Bravo!

[Basic LA]

31. No matter anyone's expectations

Biden exceeded them. This topped anything imaginable. I confess I was braced for the worst. Many were. And look what happened. This cinches it.

[young_at_heart]

32. I'm 84 and I wholeheartedly agree!

Best one of my lifetime and I used to pick Obama, but Biden's tonight was superb!

[live love laugh]

34. Republican Owned Media will have to work hard to dial it back. But they will try their hardest.

[dai13sy]

35. I'm so thrilled I didn't miss Pres. Joe's SOTU

That was the best SOTU I believe we've ever heard. I am so proud to have Pres. Joe be our President. He feels he has so much more to do and I'm betting he'll get it done

[H2O Man]

36. Definitely agree 100% !

Recommended.

I talked on the phone with my cousin four times today, twice before and twice after the SOTU. It seems that people our age recognize that this was something special. Something of historic significance.

[dmr]

39. I agree with you 100%

Well, not quite 100% because I'm just a baby at 71!

This was the best SOTU, and I've heard a few good ones. This one was pretty aggressive.

I thought he got to a rip-roaring start tonight with World War II, and loved his references to "my predecessor". I'm sure he mentioned my predecessor at least a dozen times.

I love my President. He is strong, intelligent, knowledgeable, extremely experienced, thoughtful, compassionate, and he's good looking, too.

[calimary]

46. It's a very devious way to shade somebody.

Repeated references to “my predecessor” without ever saying his name. That’s the way to hurt the donald, and not even leave a mark.

[PatSeg]

48. Oh yes, that was perfect

He does it so well!

[calimary]

62. He really does!

Biden’s secret weapon is being underestimated.

[PatSeg]

64. You know, that is really true

And maybe in many respects it is good that people underestimate him, because then come an event like last night, he blows everyone away.

Joe knows how to deal with a bully like Trump. Having been a victim of bullies as a child, he knows what it is like to be on the receiving end. My ex used to say that as a kid he learned how to fight by being beat up a lot. He observed how it was done up close and personal.

[calimary]

67. Yep! And that works so much to Biden's advantage!

His opponents think they already have him figured out. I learned about that in sparring class, years ago. You jab-jab-jab-jab-jab-jab-jab - and your opponent starts to expect that, so they’ll respond. To THAT. But when you suddenly mix it up with a hook, they’re taken by surprise.

Fine! Let ‘em! That’ll make it easier for him to catch ‘em with their proverbial pants down. Okay America, the Russians could do that to ‘em TOO. Especially since you KNOW they understand how well flattery works on the donald.

[PatSeg]

68. Yes and republicans aren't good at anticipating

change from their opponents. They aren't exactly deep thinkers, so it is pretty easy to take them by surprise. I can see why so many became victims of Russian intelligence. Putin was probably amazed at how little effort it took to make accomplices of them.

[Kennah]

42. Well said

[flamingdem]

43. Me too! I"ve always loved Joe

and feel optimistic that I'll get to keep on doing that with him as Potus 4 more years!

[PortTack]

45. Completely agree! I dearly love President Obama and thought he couldn't be topped. I think Biden's years of

Experience are shining thru. He will go down in history as one of the best. No wonder the gqp said pre speech they wanted to try and stop it

[Pacifist Patriot]

47. You know it's going to be lit when...

he invokes Hitler's name in the first 90 seconds. 👏

[Upthevibe]

49. global1.............

Me too!

The best SOTU speech I've ever heard!

[bucolic_frolic]

51. His delivery was so up-tempo - fast - that Rethugs couldn't interject

He gave them no room.

[Walleye]

55. He's sort of left them mumbling to themselves

[bucolic_frolic]

57. My mom would call him a wiley old Irishman

She followed Biden closely when he became Obama's VP, when she learned he was Irish.

She was 1/4 Irish but it was the 100% part to hear her tell it.

[Bengus81]

52. Joe knows exactly how to play those MAGA idiots. Did it with Social Security last year

Did it with Putin this year. It's really entertaining to watch those MAGOTS knowing that they know Agent Orange is watching them too and will kick them to the curb for the slightest mistake.

[Demsrule86]

54. I agree. This was the best SOTU I ever heard in my life...and I am not young.

[mcar]

56. Definitely one of the best, if not the best

SOTUs I've evern seen.

[Mr.Bill]

65. I'm going to vote for him again

just to hear four more speeches like that one.

[Polybius]

66. It was amazing, but my favorite comeback will always be this one:

[Snackshack]

70. It was good speech.

I knew it was a long shot but I held out hope that maybe scotus was not totally broken and would hold the lower courts decision but it is totally broken. I should have known better. I am amazed that one of the justices who just handed djt the white house has a wife that openly coordinated an attack on this country and didn't recuse himself and not a word said or the court surrounded by the people after we all know full well had that been a Dem justice they would not have been left the choice by robert's.

Its 2016 all over again. Hearing people talk and listening and watching all the parts of a conversation (its not just about listening). People again seem to think djt does not stand a chance to win... 90+ felonies "No way he wins" "Americans will vote"... just like when djt said he could grab'em by the p... people thought he was done then also... nope because russia was listening.

When one takes into account the magnitude/gravity of the crimes djt has committed from Emoluments, Obstruction, Hatch Act, Profiting off the office, attacking the capitol, trying over throw a peaceful transition of power, stealing top secret material and what I personally think is his worst crime knowingly lying about a deadly virus calling it a hoax telling us disinfectant injections might cure it and doing all he could to slow/stop a response to COVID. To date 1.2 million + Americans have died. HOW does 1 MAN do this much and still not only walk free but almost have the chance to do so again only next time he will be much much worse, have it sown up already?

Make no mistake if he is in the general election he wins. If one think he won't they simply do not grasp the magnitude of what is happening and how much money globally is involved (Citizens United is doing exactly what scotus/gop wanted ) don't grasp how many people not only in this country are counting on him winning but others, people who ALL their lives and even their parents and grandparents have been engaged in politics and now after decades see a real chance to get changes they want like abortion got and they are not done either... this does not happen even once in a lifetime and its pathetic because it should have never been allowed to happen at all or go this far. There is no looking past knowingly lying about covid, no not with 1.2million dead Americans or top-secret document being stolen potentially sold by now plus who knows where the docs that could NOT be found are) He has to have $100+million in legal fees by now and donations can't be covering it all. Fact he IS still free can only only have but a couple answers and one I've heard is that Dems want him to be the nominee just as much as putin and gop want djt to win. That 90+ felonies is good to run against etc, etc. The problem with this I think is Dems still think there are people left in the GOP who still respect the system, law & order and give way too much benefit of doubt to that. Thinking about going thru life not giving the benefit of doubt but thinking everyone is the enemy is impossible I do this too but this is th gop and they + djt have told us exactly what they will do once in office.

The only way djt does not win is exactly how Glen Kirschner says. That ~80million is not going to get it. Last time when djt injected votes he figured 75million would be more then enough for a bragging historical win he didnt not count on 80million for Biden. They are now and much more. If we are to win by vote it must be be by millions and millions and million not a landslide but a supernova, numbers too enormous to cheat on because if it is not the 2024 general presidential election WILL end up at scotus and scotus will seat djt like they did bush jr, last time.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

71. Joe was awesome last night

Really enjoyed the SOTU this time.
Biden was🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Layzeebeaver]

72. Go Joe!

As my "namesake" in real life, I can say nothing more or less than I'm proud of you. I never thought I'd see a good man named Joe as president in my lifetime.

I think he's amazing.

The Joe Biden we have today, is different than the Joe Biden from 40 years ago.

A positive life experience (albeit with loss and redemption) has a way of improving a person's outlook for the better.

This guy is the real deal. I LOVE HIM!

GO JOE!
