Mr. Barro and most other writers are only remarking on the text of Mr. Biden's SOTU speech. What no one is mentioning is how poorly it was delivered. Rushed and garbled. Timing, man! This has nothing to do with a past speech impediment. Biden has delivered speeches very well recently. He can do it.

It seems that only half of the population is actually even impacted by the rhythm and intonation of speech. For these people, who automatically convert the words into text like it was written on a page, delivery might not matter. But for the half who hear the music in spoken phrases, a delivery like Biden's is bound to miss, regardless of textual content.
It is unconscionable that Biden's Chief of Staff, Comms team, and wife let him blow this opportunity so badly. Is he a depot who doesn't tolerate feedback? Block out an afternoon nap, give him wine with dinner, or at least just slow down that damned teleprompter!
Mr. Barro, please consider this factor when gauging the public reaction to the speech.
I was longing for a designated speaker who could deliver the speech more forcefully. I know Josh Barro loves Biden and I definitely voted for him in the primary but I just don’t see how he can win again with this kind of delivery
