I did not like the balcony where President Biden gave his speech. It was lovely to look at, the podium was perfect, but, there was little security. There were at least two roads, one immediately at the border of the White House that had two traffic lights. There were many moving cars at any point in time during the President’s speech. 

There was a second road up the hill with random moving traffic. I thought the Secret Service did a sloppy job. Too much risk. The Rose Garden would have been a more secure location.

Great speech, not a great place chosen for the podium.
