You can do it via Zoom. It's 2021, not 1971.

It can be a live cast sent to CBS/Fox/etc. and then televised.

It is now February 17, 2021 in the East. We are closer to Saint Patrick's Day than we are to MLK Day. Yet, we have heard no word from Biden as regards this Address.

For the record, Donald Trump gave one on February 28, 2017. Barack Obama did on February 24, 2009. George W Bush did on February 21, 2001. Bill Clinton did on February 17, 1993.

Good lord. It's commonplace that the newly elected president doesn't give a state of the Union.

The 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, gave his first public address before a joint session of the United States Congress on Tuesday, February 28, 2017. Similar to a State of the Union Address, it was delivered before the 115th United States Congress in the Chamber of the United States House of Representatives in the United States Capitol. Presiding over this joint session was the House Speaker, Paul Ryan, accompanied by Mike Pence, the Vice President of the United States in his capacity as President of the Senate.

Of course they know that - they're just grasping at straws to find something to complain about.

You gottta be kidding. What's your favorite accomplishment so far, the job killing EO's or the upcoming attempt at infringing on the 2nd amendment? The man is a train wreck.

"If this was President Trump using covid as the excuse you would see talking heads telling us that "the President is not setting a good example for the country" everyone in the room has been vaccinated so there shouldnt be any fear.

With Biden they will say he is doing the safe thing and showing America how to be safe"

Well, Biden only needs to do TWO the rest of the calendar year to double the number the Don did his first year.

My how memories fade so quickly.

President Trump has only had one official solo press conference in his first year in office – far fewer than any of his modern predecessors.

The nonprofit American Presidency Project, which collects data on presidential press conferences dating back to the Nixon administration, noted the single press conference, which took place on Feb. 16.

Comparably, Barack Obama held seven in his first year in office, while George W. Bush held four.

Here's how everyone else stacked up during their first years in office:

Bill Clinton: 11
George H. W. Bush: 27
Ronald Reagan: 6
Jimmy Carter: 22
Gerald Ford (who only served from August to December in his first year as president): 4
Richard Nixon: 6
This is not to say Trump has addressed the press only once. He often answers questions from reporters in the "pool," a rotation of reporters who follow the president's movements and send the information out to the rest of the press corps. But that is different than a formal press conference, which provide an opportunity for the broader White House press corps to ask their questions.


I guess folks will point to Trumps numerous getaway scrums on his way to mir-a-lago, but in terms of legit podium pressers: 1

He also had a crazy "town hall" in the White House with business leaders in April 2017.

Well, if we can get Joe to go play golf in Florida on the taxpayers dime 30 times his first year in office, maybe we can catch Trump answer two or three questions where he just makes up some ish, talk in hugely general terms, and use remarkable superlatives to describe the mundane.

See how they can't make a complete sentence that doesn't have "Trump" in it. It's like a new rule for subject verb agreement.

Here's a clue, Trump is a private citizen now.

Quote:White House press secretary Jen Psaki pushed back on the idea that President Joe Biden would deliver an address to Congress in February, despite the president himself previewing the timing of the speech.

“Next month, in my first appearance before a joint session of Congress, I will lay out my Build Back Better recovery plan,” Biden read from prepared remarks on January 14 in a speech to the nation about fighting the coronavirus pandemic.

Typically an American president delivers his first address to Congress in February after the presidential election. Former President Donald Trump’s first address to Congress took place on February 28, 2017.

Asked by reporters about the timing of Biden’s speech, Psaki denied that the date had ever been set for February.

“We don’t know where the Feb. 23rd date came from,” she replied. “It’s a great mystery. I’ve not Nancy Drew’d that one out today, but it was never planned to be in February and we don’t have a date for a joint session at this point.”

Psaki said the “inaccurate date” of Feb. 23 “created some confusion” in the media about the speech.

“Obviously the president looks forward to speaking to a joint session,” she said. “We just don’t have a date yet for when that will be and obviously that will look different because of COVID.”

But it appears that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may have put the brakes on the timing of the speech.

Pelosi told reporters last week that she would not invite Biden to speak until Congress had passed a new coronavirus relief bill.

“We won’t be doing any of that until we pass our COVID bill. That’s the first order of business,” Pelosi said during a news conference last Thursday.

Quote:White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that it would be a couple of months before President Joe Biden would welcome foreign leaders to meet at the White House, even though he has been vaccinated for the coronavirus.

“I would anticipate for all of you that it will be a couple of months before the president has an in-person or invites a foreign leader to meet in-person here at the White House,” Psaki said during the White House press briefing on Tuesday afternoon.

Psaki was asked by a reporter about a comment in January from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office that Joe Biden had agreed to meet with the prime minister in February.

“You can meet over video as we all know,” Psaki replied when reporters asked about the timing of the meeting with Trudeau. She did not reveal any more details of any planned meetings, either virtual or in-person.

Biden received his first coronavirus vaccine shot in December and his second shot in January.

Typically, American presidents meet with the Canadian Prime minister shortly after their inauguration. Former President Donald Trump met with Trudeau for the first time on February 13, 2017.

Additionally, Trump repeatedly met with foreign leaders during the coronavirus pandemic.

He also met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and the leaders of Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates at the same time in September 2020 as they signed the Abraham Accords at the White House.

But Psaki said that Biden would continue a different path in his foreign policy agenda.

“I can assure that this president is not looking to the last presidency for the model of his foreign policy moving forward,” Psaki said. “President Biden has been working in the global arena for decades.”

So Pelosi vetoed the president giving a speech.

Biden* in his town hall also suggested Blacks and Hispanics are too stupid to figure out how to “Get Online” to get in line for covid vaccinations.
