Excellent points, TexasNative2000!
Obama was also unprepared for a very prepared and co-ordinated GOP. He stuttered and stammered and had to resort to rather rude behavior. He should not have tried to make it quite so informal either. Calling the senators and House members by their first names was not a good form.
Obama also hogged too much of the time. As it turned out, Obama had more time than the Republicans were given altogether nd the democrats had twice the time of the Republicans.
LOL @ the sob stories. The denture story will remain a classic, but the others were run of the mill and totally out of place.
I think the GOP did a grand job and apparently that’s the consensus. It’s up to the democrats now, just like it’s been from the start.
I agree, the denture story will be classic, and in that vein, this showed up in my mailbox last week:
The old man placed an order for one hamburger, French fries and a drink..
He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his wife.
He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.
He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them . As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were looking over and whispering.
Obviously they were thinking, ‘That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.
As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said, they were just fine - they were used to sharing everything.
People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn’t eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.
Again, the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said ‘No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.’
Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked ‘What is it you are waiting for?’
She answered:
(Wait for it.)
‘THE TEETH.’
