President Joe Biden appear to struggle verbally during a speech. That's normal for him these days. The funny part is when you go to the White House website to see the official transcript and they have also included his miscues. They're basically documenting this downfall of President Joe Biden, word for word... Kinda sad if you think about it. This man should be on the beach in Delaware, not struggling on stage. It's elder abuse if you ask me. The White House transcript included this:
You know, let me just say that we have a — we have a — a lot to do together. The thing that makes me feel good about having the governors here is there is still the tradition of doing things together. We fight like hell. We make sure that we get our points across. But at the end of the day, we know who we work for. The objective is to get things done.
And, you know, standing here in front of this portrait of the man behind me here, he — he said — and I want to make sure I get the quote exactly right. He said, “We — the better angels” — he said, “We must address the counsel — and adjust the better angels of our nature.” And we do the — and we do well to remember what else he said. He said, “We’re not enemies, but [we’re] friends.” This is in the middle of — this is in the — in the part of the Civil War. He said, “We’re not enemies, but [we’re] friends. We must not be enemies.”
Folks — and I’ve been around. I know I don’t look it. I’ve been around a long while though. (Laughter.) And — and I mean this sincerely, we’ve gotten — politics has gotten too bitter — Democrats and Republicans. Politics has gotten too personally — and it just is — it’s just not like it was.
And, by the way, I served in times when we had very, very starnch — staunch differences. I mean, there were incredible differences, but we always — not always, but the vast majority of the time, we looked out for a compromise when the end of the — when the end of the day came.
