Here is video of Sean Hannity talking with GOP Rep. Eric Cantor about President Obama's Health Care Speech to a Joint Session of Congress.

Cantor said he was "taken aback by the partisan nature of the speech." He said Obama was throwing up a smokescreen with the attacks on opponents of his attempt to bring Government Health Care.

He also said Obama overstated the idea that the economy is "back from the brink."

Cantor said again he was "aghast" at the "hyperbole" used by Obama in the speech. In contrast to that, Cantor said "we need some adult leadership." . . . (VIDEO)

“Taken aback?” You mean he had no idea Obama was this kind of person before? Really, he was surprised? Geez, Cantor, get with the program!

I am Joe Wilson.

Oh puhlease. Cantor either needs to be more honest or grow a pair.

[sport]

He is a fool if he was.

The real obama is emerging.

Once he gets his socialized medicine, the White fools who voted for him will see more of him that they want to. Of course it will probably be the last thing in this world that they see. But they are too stupid to figure it out. They lived stupid and they will die stupid.

Representative Cantor, WAKE up. BamaKennedy has bailed out all of his backer/funders today except for the UNIONS. They are for all practical purposes BROKE. And they payed to play and they need the ‘public option’ to cover their a..sets.

Cantor said again he was "aghast" at the "hyperbole" used by Obama in the speech. In contrast to that, Cantor said "we need some adult leadership."

Maybe Cantor was being sarcastic, but if not this statement is typical of what is wrong with republican's. Why would anyone be surprised or "aghast" at Obama's speech? He is an anti-american liar! Until you start treating him that way you do nothing but enable him and his agenda!

Thank goodness one member of congress (from S.C.) stood up and called Obama to task, albeit I understand he apologised for it today...again, typical of the republican party dumbasses who probably made him apologise for speaking the truth!

Are you suprised that it that way? They haven’t offered to talk to the Republicans since April what did you expect

[TADSLOS]

So taken aback that he was speechless and couldn’t find his voice like Joe.

I am tired of the milk toast that is seen as head of the republican party.Come on girls,you can do better.Alot better.

Cantor said he was "taken aback by the partisan nature of the speech."

I call BS on this one. It may be good political rhetoric but, unless Cantor just got to the House yesterday morning as a brand new Congresscritter, he knew full well that the speech was going to be very partisan. If he's truly that politically naive, his constituents may want to re-think his presence in Congress.

zero has made certain, from the outset of his administration, that he locked the other moderate and conservative voices in the Congress out of ALL debate on major legislation, and he has followed through.

I call BS on this one. It may be good political rhetoric but, unless Cantor just got to the House yesterday morning as a brand new Congresscritter, he knew full well that the speech was going to be very partisan.

I disagree. Obama's poll numbers are tanking, and the opposition against his plan is much larger and more active than the support. Obama had to reach out to the opposition some and try to win some over. Instead he demonized the opposition and made them even more locked into their opposition. It is not surprising since Obama is a partisan thug, but it is surprising that Obama keeps making the same mistake every time he tries to promote his plan. This speech hasn't worked the first 9 times it was tried. Obama needs tone down the negative rhetoric against his opponents.

Hey Cantor, welcome to the Civil War.

Actually, I agree with Cantor. I was surprised by obama's tone, his accusations, etc. IMO, it was a huge mistake on his part. He wasn't just speaking to the two houses, but to all Americans. His rhetoric will not win the "hearts and minds" of the American people; his speech was too devisive. It will further strengthen the opposition to his plan.

[Kakaze]

I thought obama, was angry and condescending.

In addition to the lying.

[Wyatt's Torch]

Agree. I assume Cantor was just trying to be nice but Obamarx is a radical leftist and it is no surprise to anyone with their eyes open over the last year. He is the most hyper-partisan person ever to hold the office of POTUS.

[Leisler]

Jeb Bush, Cantor, Romney, at their World Famous, one time only, RINO listening tour pseudo event.

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

I am Joe Wilson.

Great sign idea for the Washington rally! How about ... "I am Joe Wilson, I am Joe the Plumber, I am Sarah, I am Rush ... You can't shut me up!"

[Non-Sequitur]

Cantor said he was "taken aback by the partisan nature of the speech."

Where the hell has Cantor been for the last 8 months? In this day and age 'bipartaisan solution' means 'the other side surrenders to my demands'. Further evidence that this GOP leadership is incapable of bringing the party back to power.
