In a recent visit to Morehouse College, Joe Biden gave a commencement speech that left many scratching their heads. The confusion seemed to start even before he opened his mouth, with Biden appearing lost and distracted. As he clapped at questionable moments and pandered to the audience, it was clear that his connection to reality was tenuous at best.
The speech was filled with attempts to appeal to the audience, including references to Morehouse men in the White House and nods to his supposed civil rights activism. However, Biden’s history of making racially insensitive remarks undermines any credibility he tries to claim in this area. It’s clear that his words were more about scoring political points than genuine advocacy.

Some students at the college even turned their backs on Biden during his speech, protesting his stance on Israel and the conflict in Gaza. The President’s attempts to address student debt and election laws were met with skepticism, as he was called out for spreading misinformation about Georgia’s voting regulations. His struggles with the teleprompter only added to the overall messiness of the address.
Despite the lackluster response from the audience, Biden was still awarded an honorary degree, leaving many wondering if enduring his speech was worth the trouble. The president’s premature departure from the event further highlighted the disconnect between him and the American people. Overall, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of electing leaders who are grounded in reality and capable of coherent communication.
