      One of the greatest, but certainly not the greatest of all time. It seems apt for the moment we’re in as a country.

        I would respectfully disagree. The speechwriters crafted a fairly strong piece of rhetoric, but it wasn’t particularly substantial and the delivery was substandard, that’s just the honest truth.

        Also “one of the greatest in history because it happened now” is not a great argument. Nunc pro tunc, as they say.

          I wouldn’t say because it happened now, but because it fits the state of the country very well.

          Yeah, I agree. It was well-written, and I thought it was good, but saying this was the best SOTU of all time seems a bit far-fetched. Biden straight-up isn’t a great orator, and that’s fine by me. I would rather someone who can do the job than make wonderful speeches.

          Now, how Biden dealt with the hecklers was pretty great, I’ll say.
