OMG! MSNBC just played some of the tweets those Republicans were sending during the speech |
|
and they were downright childish. Did anyone else catch that? They had Gingerich's, Barton (TX), and a couple of others, all making snide remarks about Pelosi and the President.

1. Isn't it illegal to have electronic devices on the house floor/senate floor |
|
or did that rule go away with the Mark "Mr. McFeely" Foley Page scandal.

3. Obama tries to lead by example |
|
But some of these people can't hold back their inner jerk. I cannot believe they feel so free to share on twitter. I hope this continues.

6. DIdn't see it, but it doesn't surprise me at all. |
|
Most republicants never matured beyond the middle-school level. I hope they're played at the top and bottom of every hour on every cable channel. Show the public what they're really all about.

11. So, basically, the Republicans behaved like a classroom full |
|
of middle school children.
Color me not surprised.

12. LMAO! The Dem Tweets sound like DU, even down to the verbage! |
|
Fresh Air: "One doesn't want to sound snarky, but it is nice not to see Cheney up there."
The fan boy: "Can't put the speech down. Messages so welcome and so overdue. Can't wait to see if any changes and how he delivers, and reaction in chamber"
Excitement: "Energy, healthcare and education! Right on!"
The Critic: "Strong language. Well crafted. Not so many applause lines. Some in the audience not sure how to react."
Romance: "One of the teleprompters is directly between the President and me. But I am sure he delivered the line about stark budget realities to me"
Cheerleader: "Requests legislation for market based cap on carbon pollution. I am the first one standing and cheering."
More Cheerleading: "Some Republican Senators are standing and clapping, including McCain. Great!"
The lifting of oppression: "Best line: "For 7 years we have been at war. No longer will we hide its price."
On an Obama high: "Wow! As it settles in, I can only say: he hit it out of the park! Just what Congress and American people need to hear! Yes we can!"
And then a few moments later when Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal gave the Republican response to the President's speech, Blumenauer's high turned to . . .
Post-Obama Speech Hangover: "Jindal is weird. I can't believe Jindal. Such a sad contrast with President. Doesn't even look or sound good, to say nothing about content."

13. Zach Wamp seems to be a little hazy on what the last 8 years were... |
|
Rep. Zach Wamp (TN): Sitting at the State of the Union listening to words like responsibilty and accountability just days after a reckless spending spree.
Joe Barton conveniently blamed a staffer for this childishness:
Rep. Joe Barton (TX): Aggie basketball game is about to start on espn2 for those of you that aren't going to bother watching pelosi smirk for the next hour.

18. Technology, ain't it grand? |
|
Not so much when it highlights the clowns elected to represent us. The ones "twittering" (is that the correct term?)need a 2x4 upside the head. No wonder our government is such a damn mess. It gives me no confidence to know that there are some with a junior high mentality and they are members of House & Senate. Rome burning comes to mind. :grr:

On CSPAN I don't know if the person was twittering, but I saw someone using a blackberry during Obama's speech.
