“The GOP’s decision to have no response is perfect.”
I agree. Let him thrash about. The 2012 Presidential race will be decided by independents who poll in record numbers against the Obama stimulus plan. And here he comes with another one.The last thing the Republicans want to do is have a rebuttal hour to raise the specter of partisanship with them that turns them off.In this case, silence is golden.
On the other hand, I hope they're very partisan during the speech by also observing that silence is golden and not getting up once to applaud no matter what Obama says unless it's his immediate resignation.
