This is an address before Congress?

Sounds like we are going to see a parade of boo-hoo stories blaming "obstructionist Republicans" for the dysfunctions of communism.

If I was a Republican Congressman and Obama started hammering away with his blame game I would load myself up and get out of there. Walk right out the door.

Every Republican seat should have:

1. A list of all those American heros that lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan since The Won.

2. A number representing all those lost jobs in each congressional district.

3. A number representing all those foreclosed houses in each congressional district.

Villaraigosa is there to see what his chances are if he mounts a primary challenge next year.

Interesting list, especially when compared to the list John Baehnor is having at his “Obama, you are so pathetic, I’m ignoring your speech” party.

See: http://www.speaker.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=258776 for a list of Baehnor’s attendees.
