"Dr. Broun will not be attending President Obama's joint address, but he looks forward to hearing the president's proposal for job creation," Broun spokeswoman Meredith Griffanti told The Ticket,
C'mon, more empty seats, you guys. Let's separate the men from the mice...
They can purchase any comic book at a local store and gain much more useful information than they would listening to the Cretin-in-Chief.
Harvard Law, you’ve got a lot to answer for in the upcoming investigations. You’d better throw out that quota system now....
Every one of them should skip it and instead hold a town hall with unemployed people to explain how the GOP program will put them back to work. Obama does not deserve the respect of the office of president when he uses these speeches to ridicule and lie about people in the audience.
I’ll be skipping the speech, too. I’m busy. Not sure yet on what, exactly. But yeah, I’m pretty sure I’ll be busy.
Just words. Just speeches.
Why not skip out...
His speeches are this big anyways, why bother?
I have never once listened to or watched a single “O” speech. Why would I watch THIS one?
Forget the politicians not attending or watching Obama, the entire American population of adults and voters should boycott the Obama speech of lies and the ongoing destruction of America!!! I do not intend to watch one second of this African Muslim, son of the “Muslim Brotherhood” that stands by, silently, in agreement, while his Muslim brothers jail & murder innocent African Black Christians in LIbya and slaughter innocent Israeli settlers in Israel with attacks launched from the state of Egypt, now controlled by Obama’s Muslim Brotherhood!!! America, wake-up. Obama has put our nation in harms way!!!
A speech is not legislation. The democrats in Congress need to proffer some proposals based on ideas from their leadership. Otherwise it’s just talk.
everyone knows this is going to be just another campaign speech and Obama is looking to force Republicans to applaud it for his political ads.
When RINO Boehner claps for some empty Obama platitude thus signaling the GOP caucus to clap also, videos of the Republicans applauding will be used to win votes for the Democrats and hopefully win votes for conservative Tea Party primary challengers as well.
That just happens to be the time I wash my hair. Aw, shucks.
Several Republican reasons for missing Obama’s speech.
1) Cat needs waxing.
2) The waves are breaking and the Wahines are stoked.
3) FOOTBALL!
4) Those darned raccoons!
5) Note from mother.
Vitter has been very interesting of late, and, I think someone to watch in the future. He survived his re-election bid ( because of a hooker scandal) though the senate GOP all but deserted him. He’s very conservative, and I think now he detests McConnell..and he’s pretty much guaranteed his Senate seat as long as he want s it..it is Louisiana after all..he’s already having fun..hosting an event with a TP congressman ( can’t rememebr the name who’s running in the same district as RINO Boustany.. ) LA’s losing a CD..so two Pubbies will have to face off..I think he’s goinna be an important player, a DeMInt ally, , and Mitch’s worst nightmare...
300 billion for gummint jobs — doo dah doo dah.
Everyone knows the tired tune — nothing new, nothing good, all liberal keynsian nonsense that the House will stop dead in its tracks. And the GOP damn well better make it clear that barry the zero’s attempt to toss this turd and make it their fault is a weak and pathetic attempt to once again play the blame game. And they damn well better do it loudly and frequently.
Now, ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL????!!!
Listen to one listen to them all. I haven’t listened to any of his lies since his inception and this one won’t be an exception.
I'm fine, of course, with skipping the speech, but state that it's because Obama's a dipshit and you've heard all his calls for yet more deficit spending programs that only enrich his cronies and do nothing to create real jobs. Or something along those lines.
Don't say you have to go to a football party.
If they really wanted to make waves with this article, they simple could have given an estimate of how many average American citizens will skip this speech beside the politicians listed (based on averages for viewership for his previous speeches). THAT number would be ENORMOUS.
Can’t watch it, have a date with Monica Lewinsky.
I’m sure many will disagree with me, but these folks are overdoing it.
Obama got slapped down and rescheduled...there will be no GOP response. I’m sure it tickles some people that these guys are thumbing their noses, but I think that not attending is petty.
There are certain things that you do. You attend a joint session of Congress where the president is going to speak. You do so ESPECIALLY after he there was a flap over the original dictated date and he stepped back and agreed to another date. Yes ... I know, Obama was a jerk to try to speak tonight.
I feel, however, that there are certain precedents we don’t need to be setting. These guys are giving ammo to the other side. While I have no respect for Obama ... I have a respect for the presidency of the USA and I think they should attend. They don’t need to clap. They can even scowl. I’m not expecting much from the speech ... but saying you are not going to attend a joint session because you want to watch some football, or you are just not interested ... IMO .... it’s petty.
I won’t watch. I can’t stand his F’in voice.
shampoo hair...organize sock drawer, etc...
The Republicans should hold a tailgate party outside during Bamster’s speech. Free steak and lobster for attendees.
