President Joe Biden's third State of the Union address was the perfect reflection of his presidency: undisciplined and detached from reality.
Biden presented a mishmash of economic populism and unmerited boasts about the achievements of his tenure. And while his pre-speech goal was to unify and call Congress to work together, the night quickly broke down to an unseemly exchange with Republicans more suited to the British House of Commons.
He did not deliver a message to the American people that matched the urgency of the times nor the depth of their unease.
