I had the same problem: Both FR and the Tea Party Express websites crashed tonight, and were down or "slow" for several hours. (All others sites, ie Drudge, etc. were fine)
Thank goodness Greta ran Michelle Bachmann's Tea Party Express speech on her show tonight, although it wasn't live.
Yep, the Bachmann speech was excellent, to the point, to the subject matter, to the issues at hand. Ditto for Paul Ryan, he gets an outstanding grade!!! POTUS Obama failed as usual, miserably!!! I did not watch the speech, only scanned some of the replays. The flim/flam man was too wordy and boring with the same old “Obama” jive and lies!!! This gent is not going to be re-elected!!! He showed no energy, no emotion, no real direction, no specific agenda, just the usual left-wing failed political mantra and dogma one would expect from the failed one. He certainly is not in the same league as Bill Clinton, who in November, 1995 read the correct tea leaves that won him his second term. This guy, Obama is going to take more Democrats down with him in 2012 and will easily allow the Republicans to win not only the POTUS slot, but both houses of Congress handily!!! I predicted the outcome of the November, 2010 elections and...I am certain that I am now correct about 2012. I suggest the Democrt Party broom Obama immediately by requesting him to resign or...impeaching hid directly. If not, Obama will destroy the Democrat Party politically for years to come. The handwriting is on the wall. Mr. Obama is not a leader, he is not an man of vision, he is just another political hack spawned by the political crooks in Chicago!!! His rambling speech of no substance proved that enmasse this evening!!!
