Mitch McConnell: an "in-your-face" speech aimed at Republicans.

[JohnnyLib2]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he thought Obama delivered an “in-your-face” speech aimed at the Republicans.

“It was a needlessly partisan speech at a time when Americans were looking for the president to move to the center and build coalitions,” McConnell said in an interview minutes after the address ended. “It ended up really being quite a partisan campaign-style speech. And for the most part, was not particularly well-received on our side. I was a little astonished at the strategy.”

“I thought he would be more moderate, more interested in building consensus,” the Senate GOP leader said. “Instead, it was kind of in-your-face to the Republican side. I thought it was a missed opportunity on his part. The American people would like us to work together.”

[JohnnyLib2]

5. Oh, yeah.

:evilgrin:

[jenmito]

6. Amazing how 2 people can listen to the same speech and get such different

feelings from it. Rachel Maddow said this was a pretty conservative speech, reaching out to Repubs. several times to the point they HAD to stand and applaud.

[JBoy]

7. Tweety called Mitch a "chucklehead".

Almost made up for his weird "black" comment.

[liberalmuse]

8. Wow, he got it!

I always thought the Republicans had to wear special headsets that dumbed-down Obama's speeches.

[Patsy Stone]

9. At least he was paying attention.

But that doesn't mean it actually sank in.

[old guy]

10. Gee Mitch, ya think!!!

[BootinUp]

11. Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! CALL THE WAHMBULANCE Quick!!! lol

[spoony]

12. Hey, Mitch. IN YOUR FACE!

B-)

[JohnnyLib2]

13. LOL

Isn't this fun.

Ditch Mitch!

[saltpoint]

14. The chinless are always the first to object to in-your-face politics.

[eleny]

15. McConnell thinks he has a face?

[Mythbuster]

16. Hey McConnell!!!

Fuck you and your chameleon skinned buddy Boner!!!:smoke:

[BlueIdaho]

17. Mitch "party of no" McConnell

Looks like the mastermind behind the party of no tactic is feeling the heat for his traitorous bullshit.

[depakid]

18. Impressive how thin skinned (or disingenous) they are

The speech was the every bit the opposite of that.

[buddysmellgood]

19. HA! The earliest polls show where the center is. Obama came

off as the reasonable parent in the room. Independents heard him. Now if only the feckless democrats will press the advantage and lead.

[MrMickeysMom]

20. Aw, Mitch, you're lucky it wasn't a "come in your face" message...

Of course, that could explain why that face of yours looks that way.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

21. I guess the GOP still haven't got any policies

the GOP = the party of no
the GOP = the party of privatization of everything

[iceman66]

22. What an asshole!

"The American people would like us to work together.”

[bleever]

23. I agree with Mitch!

Insofar as it was in your face. Basketball is a game of elbows, and it's time to get to know them.

[clr]

24. It's about time!

He's been that moderate, centrist, bipartisan person that the GOP claims otherwise. And how did that turn out?

[jillan]

25. Yes Mitch - the American people do want you to work together - THATS WHY IT WAS IN YOUR FACE

Stupid Idiot:think:

[NavyMom]

26. No, it was a BIOTCH SLAP and it was NEEDED...nt
