I have a sneaking suspicion this ridiculous bipartisan seatmate concept has one purpose: to make Obama look like he has support across the board when the audience is shown clapping, standing, etc, it won’t be split with Ds over here and Rs over there NOT clapping.
It’ll look to the average person, as the camera pans across the room, like everyone’s on board with Obama’s agenda and “inspiring” words.
Shame on the foolish, stupid GOP members for agreeing to this set-up.
OTOH, this plan could lead to some fistfights, like in the Japanese Parliament.
Only thing is the sheeple since slick willy doing this have awakened and will be watching keeping up with the kardashians.
“Shame on the foolish, stupid GOP members for agreeing to this set-up.”
The GOP should have declined and said “maybe next year...we’re going to wait and see if there’s any improvement in civility from the other side of the isle first.”
