Watching via internet. No cable, no over the air tv here.

[Gene Eric]

Yeah, it was good — a different angle than I expected.

[LeoWindhorse]

Mike Lee is done

[Chickensoup]

on utube

[Jet Jaguar]

He was better than the 3rd grade teacher who spoke before.

[Bon of Babble]

Didn’t watch or listen. Too busy watching clothes dry —much much more interesting!!

[P-Marlowe]

The response was a perfect speech.

Like a woman’s skirt it was long enough to cover the subject and short enough to be interesting.

[Jane Long]

Very good. Too short...but very good points made.

[defconw]

I think my cat doing one of those BIG yawns, would be a good response.

[LeoWindhorse]

I struggled , but so glad to have dropped UI
Felt like welfare to me . No thanks .
Still struggling !...

[LittleSpotBlog]

She. Is. Terrible.

Boehner has a problem. I think he feels unworthy to be where he is as he cries every time he talks about coming from little to where he is now - he has never come to grips with that or the tears wouldn't come every time. I don't know if his badly discolored skin is a part of that problem, but I would figure that out if I were to talk to him. He does play golf, so sun is in there, too, and he has to be a candidate for skin cancer.

[right way right]

I listened to Mike and he talked to me, not to a bunch of cronies.
Fox would not dare play it because it would resonate with millions.

THE MEDIA IS A HUGE PROBLEM!

[LeoWindhorse]

yep and Paul Ryan was pretty solid

[LeoWindhorse]

sorry , but I want a President Allen B. West

[floriduh voter]

It looked like some carpentry work was done up by the podium. The chairs behind with Biden the guy who gets assignments and never follows through and Boehner were up higher in relation to the podium.

It made Obama look small and meeker. I think they did that on purpose so we would picture a kinder, gentler dictator. The back chairs were jacked up. Don't doubt me. Have a nice night. So glad somebody important is working on our HUGE KINDERGARTEN PROBLEM. Who knew?

THE MEDIA IS A HUGE PROBLEM!

______________

Agreed and Drudge and PJTV and Brietbart and all other conservative outlets need to feature this speech in its entirety.

[mylife]

Oh Joy.

He was better than Mrs. Rogers neighborhood, but no fire...No horsepower behind the speech....Where’s the beef? Why can’t they find someone with some passion who’ll make big waves and rock the boat? Make people stand up and say....No S**t!
