Cripes! It's a joint session of Congress addressed by the President of the United States. Why in the world would he be doing it unless it were tremendously important? Supposedly, there is no higher drama.

I hope they boo him and walk out the minute Obama starts the partisan blaming and excuse making. It's a campaign speech with a captive audience and worldwide coverage. It would be very disrespectful if he wastes everyone's time and doesn't have anything worthwhile to say.

Maybe the chamber will start chanting “Go Pack Go!”.

It’s not exactly a “captive” audience. He addresses the House only by invitation/permission of the House. They have every right to boo him, stand and turn their backs to him, call him the liar that he is and yes, even walk out on him.

The GOP needs to understand that their conservative base is tired of them playing nice, rolling over and showning respect where none is due.

Geo. Washington caught so much flack when he first addressed the House that he never went back.

Civility and politeness is not a requirement as the democrats showed in their treatment of Geo. Bush.
