Editor, Ceres Courier,

Within my 86 years of living with the opportunity of listening to the State of the Union messages to the country, the Biden message was incredibly inept. I thought I was being shouted at and chastised by an out-of-control father about to go over the edge.

He is the out-of-control head of household who blames his wife (predecessor) for all of his failings. His children (country) cannot have a thought of their own without ridicule, even though his leadings have led the family down an inconsistent, debilitating road.

I long for a leader who can present an idea and plan for the country in a humble, honorable manner with eloquence.

I long for a manner of delivery where a county’s constituents have the opportunity to reflect and review the ideas and plans without a hidden agenda, followed by nay or yay, without ridicule. That will be the day!
