Biden has always been perceived as somewhat of a goofball.
I go back as far as JFK but IMHO Clinton, Obama, Reagan and JFK were the
most eloquent speakers.
They had charisma and no matter what they said, they inspired confidence
much like FDR and his fireside chats.
And no, I am not THAT old.

If Reagan could sell Twenty Mule Team Boraxo he could sell anything. We
always had a can of that and it really worked, better than GoJo. I thought
it was a step down when he left Death Valley Days to become a mere
governor of fruit'n'nut land.

I remember I Like Ike but I was high school age for JFK. Okay, I was young
and naive but he really seemed like a promise of the future. Then came
that corrupt Texas bastard.
