Will Biden pass or fail?Former presidential speechwriter rates State of the Union address
Jesse Waters: Abraham Lincoln said in his 1862 State of the Union address, “Either we will nobly save the earth’s last best hope, or we will despicably lose it.” Those words came just weeks after what is known as the bloodiest day in American history. battle of antietam, 23,000 Americans were massacred. Lincoln’s words carried weight. He was “honest Abe.”

Instead, they stopped to entertain and have long conversations, enjoying the pomp and attention. There was something grotesquely pitiful about the way the grown men and women of the president’s own party held him out as if he had real talent. It was as if Democrats had not spent time with the president, as if he had emerged from hibernation to show that he was alive.

Joe Biden compares himself to Abraham Lincoln and FDR. Biden has declared himself a wartime president, saying he is saving democracy at home and abroad, just as America did in the Civil War and World War II.
