my 36” HDTV plasma showed everyone standing and clapping a number of times. especially early in the speech. and he shook just as many hands on both sides of the aisle when he walked in and out. that wasnt just courtesy to the office, imho.
Oh, puh-leez.
What do expect Republicans to do? Boo Obama as he enters the chamber? Granted, I would do that, but that doesn’t happen in politics. Hell, I remember Sheila Jackson Lee and Teddy Kennedy giving warm embraces and getting pictures taken with W. just a few years ago.
As for Jindal, yeah, the delivery sucked, but the content of his speech was very good, IMO. He called Obama out on being irresponsible and pledged to fight tax increases and government run healthcare. He also plugged domestic energy production.
I saw Gregg yesterday on Beck. He said the U.S. Census had absolutely nothing to do with him withdrawing from Commerce Secretary.
I didn't think so at the time, but I fear the next four years will be worse than the Clinton years. With Clinton it seemed like he was a fish out of water. With Obama and today's conditions I feel like I'm in the water. And it's hot as hell.
Maxine Waters got there at 7 AM to save her seat.
“The Republicans sat on their hands and didn’t clap many times during the speech. Anymore would have been disrespectful to the office.”
When the man elected to uphold the Constitution of the United States proceeds to piss on said Constitution, he himself has disrespected the office and thus deserves not respect, but scorn.
Bravo!

In my personal opinion, God's help is all we really have left.
I was truly sickened by the media’s continuing multiple Obamagasms.
Another ‘out of the park’ performance by Obama speech writer John Favreau. And O just keeps getting better at pretending there is no teleprompter to his left, and to his right. The spoken words flow masterfully - so well rehearsed it appears natural. The slightly upwards gaze to the horizon, the lighting, props Biden and Nancy-in-the-box in back, it all worked magnificently.
It’s going to be a long 4 years, so you’re going to have to pace yourself.
As to the Republican reaction to Obama in the House chamber — it’s expected by the public (excepting freepers, of course) so they do it.
Watch the next Joint Session & compare the reaction. It’ll be less positive.
Nancy looked & acted like she was on crack! Joe was his usual goofy looking self.
..........Biden and Nancy-in-the-box in back...............
And what was up with Plousy’s outfit?? Didn’t she have time after her gym workout to change out of her sweats??
Too early for beer?
And many more if the conservatives don't begin acting in concert. Come on, people! Let's try to get together and climb out of this hole that we find ourselves in.
Oh, we can't do that?
Because we all have our own individual ideas on what it means to be a conservative?
Because we can't work with someone who is not the correct religion, color, educational background, socio-economic status, or neighborhood?
Yup, I'm afraid so. We can't even tell the Republican Party to nominate a conservative, so how are we going to try to get together and fix the Party?
We ain't, that's how.
Me either.
Whenever Zero comes on, which is frequent, I change the channel, or turn it off.
I sure hope my remote doesn't wear out.
They're only a failure if you assume that they actually want to serve you.
Looking at it from their perspective, they are very successful. At providing for themselves.
You know..I've never actually seen sarcasm ever work here.
But at least I get it. ha-ha
The republicans are not necessarily our allies to stop them, as most don’t really seem to care."
Can you say "naive"?
Because you are.
