It makes him look bad. I would have trouble speaking in public if I ever had to. Not only would it scare the hell out of me, I just don't have the voice for that. Biden made some good speeches when he was younger, but it looks like his speechifying days are over. That's hard to say because Biden is my favourite President of those in my lifetime. I really wish he could've had that second term. He was getting progress done. But it's time to hang up the teleprompter.
