So, tonight, I\u2019ve come to this place where it all began, to speak as plainly as I can to the nation about the threats we face, about the power we have in our hands to meet these threats and about the incredible future that lies in front of us if only we choose it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Optics <\/p>\n<p>The optics of the speceh\u2014delivered next to two U.S. Marines and amid a deep red backdrop\u2014drew criticism from even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/mainstream-media-reporters-target-biden-for-giving-polarizing-speech-flanked-by-us-marines_4705592.html\">mainstream media reporters<\/a> and commentators.<\/p>\n<p>They remarked that it was historically unusual for a president to denigrate his political opponents while using U.S. military members as props. Some found it odd that Biden would give a speech in front of a deep red backdrop, which evokes imagery from communist regimes.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/09\/02\/biden-in-pennsylvania-1200x800.jpeg\"><\/a> President Joe Biden speaks outside of Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pa., on Sept. 1, 2022.
