Awkward burst of claps at inappropriate times

[DemzRock]

24. I think they will do a great job of showing that the GOP is a big tent party!

They take greedy selfish sociopaths of all races, colors, and creeds.

[nolabear]

25. AAAAAnd the lies begin!

"You didn't build that" crap. And, "He's never seen the inside of a lemonade stand?" WTF? I trust the Dems are taking notes.

[Wednesdays]

27. Lemonade stand?

They probably figure the masses could live off of earnings from lemonade stands.

[steve2470]

29. such ignorance on display

Yeah, President Obama is JUST SO OMFG ANTI-BUSINESS that:

1- He saved Detroit and
2- He did his best to get a huge stimulus package enacted, which saved us from
Great Depression II.

And you know what? I don't think it's going to fly. It's just plain too bullshitty.

[Wednesdays]

35. Notice the speech peppered with militaristic words

"Battle" "fight" etc.

[nolabear]

32. Czars! Czars! That is sooooo 2008. Wait...Pelosi?

[Berlum]

57. Republican chickenhawks like Romney, Ryan, bush, Cheney, Boehner, etc. etc. ad nauseum

love to pretend they 'support the troops." Kinda makes them feel a wee bit macho and shit.

[pwb]

51. More smiles and lies, no thanks I can not watch I just took a shower.

[AsahinaKimi]

53. I have had enough

listened to this about a half hour now.. most of it is crap and lies. bleh..

[Wednesdays]

56. You are one brave soul to have lasted that long

Arigatou gozaimashita.

[AsahinaKimi]

58. I was waiting for the crazy stuff

But most of it was just lies and crap. Sorera wa kichigai dane! Tatakareru hitsuyo ga aru!

They should all be smacked with a giant newspaper about the head and shoulders!

[Cleita]

59. No thanks. I'd rather get it regurgitated to me by Jon Stewart,

Rachel Maddow and the rest of the left wing pundits because their vomit goes down so much better than the original meal.

[Lyocell]

61. These republitards are way to joyous over this rock 'n' roll

And the band members don't seem particularly enthused with their audience..

[grantcart]

62. Thanks to those DUers who are able to suffer and give us timely updates.

I can no longer stomach 10 seconds of this shit.

[Wednesdays]

64. Orange Man on now.

[tanyev]

70. Hey! That's Tandoori-American.

[2pooped2pop]

78. love it

[npk]

65. A lot of people walking into a bar jokes coming

Good lord this is horrible.

[Wednesdays]

66. Is it me, or does he sound drunk or something?

[npk]

67. Not sure

But he does look less orange. Then again it could just be my TV. If I had to give a speech before that bunch I would probably have to be drunk.

[Wednesdays]

68. My wife just came in asking, "Is he loaded?"

And others on other threads made the same observation.

[npk]

69. He very well could be

It really wouldn't surprise me. He never makes sense when I hear him speech.

[Wednesdays]

71. OMFG...I tolerated all the hate speeches so far

But I've gotta shut the sound off for this...whatever you wanna call it...

[nolabear]

72. What you want to call it is "Who's that uppity ****** in our bar?"

Frankly, they've got nothing but lipstick in Pomney and they're trying ddesperately to get the pig back.

[nolabear]

73. Oh sweet Lord it's Janine Turner. I've met Janine Turmer.

Take it from me, Janine Turner has a long-standing reputation for being two things--nuts and mean. Perfect GOP woman.

And yep, that's a teleprompter.

[Terra Alta]

74. maybe it's my youth, but I've never heard of her.

She is coming across as all kinds of crazy, though. God built it?? Really???

[nolabear]

75. Northern Exposure. She was one of the stars.

She's an ex Texas beauty queen who is the EPITOME of entitled, so that speech is just damned funny.

[Lyocell]

77. "It's been the better part of 16 years working 16 hours a day"

Sounds like Romney!

[nolabear]

79. AAAUUGGHH!! "I Built IT" Country Song. About building his little filling station w/no govt help.

Oh? Filling station, eh? Like, the ones ROADS run past? That GM cars use? That keeps cars up to federal standards? Whose money and credit card payments are backed by government guarantees?

Thank GOD I have something to do tonight. I could go nuts.
