7. Why do they always look like they've been sucking lemons?

[TankLV]

39. They can't help it - it's a requirement to be a repuke...

Life gives them Lemonade, and they always succeed in making lemons out of the lemonade they're given...

[Avalux]

8. The despise Obama. It's hilarious.

He called them out on their shit and they couldn't do anything but sit there and listen. :D

[Cha]

21. And, they invited him

to do it.:)

[DFLforever]

36. Yeah, that' the best part!

I so love it.

[AndyA]

9. Republicans all have "that look"

You can spot them a mile away. It's hard to describe, but there's this blank look in their eyes. Like there's no soul there. In fact, there's nothing there except emptiness and hatred.

It doesn't matter how old they are, whether they're male or female, rich, or poor...they've all got "that look".

Really, it's pretty sad. And pathetic that they are hurting so many innocent people because of their hatred.

11. Eric Cantor is the one that scares me

Boner is a fool who would rather play golf. Pence is a teabagger. But Cantor....he's smart and mean.

[BrklynLiberal]

18. Hopefully the mean part will lead him to his downfall.

People like that are always very arrogant..

[bergie321]

24. He looks

So weasily.

[AlinPA]

29. Is there anyone anywhere slimier than Cantor? That sneer is worse than anyone I've ever seen.

[BrklynLiberal]

16. You are right. Now that you mention it, I have seen that too.

[BrklynLiberal]

35. You have to check out this thread!!!!

[Froward69]

17. As God as my witness Bohner looked pale

afterward. Really... Like he had seen a ghost or knew he was in trouble.

[alsame]

19. He looks pretty scared in these pics too. :)

[Cha]

20. What did they expect?

Did not they invite him?:)

[Nancy Waterman]

22. The Lemon Sucking Party - LOL!!

Really tells it like it is.

[Cha]

31. Wasn't sure what you meant before, Nancy..

but now I do.:)

"At the end, shaking hands with the president, Pence's face looked as if he'd sucked a lemon for an hour – and in a way he had."

I always thought pence had that look ..it must have really been something after an hour of schooling with Prez.x(

32. "Obama goes into the gop lions' den and mauls the lions"

How's that for a practically Full Moon in Leo heading?

<snip>

"President Obama traveled to a House Republican retreat in Baltimore on Friday and delivered a performance that was at once defiant, substantive and engaging. For roughly an hour and a half, Obama lectured GOP leaders and, in a protracted, nationally-televised question-and-answer session, deflected their policy critiques, corrected their misstatements and scolded them for playing petty politics. (Full video and transcript available HERE.)

White House officials told the Huffington Post they were absolutely ecstatic. MSNBC's Luke Russert, who was on the scene in Baltimore, relayed that a Republican official and other GOP aides had confided to him that allowing the "cameras to roll like that" was a "mistake."

<snip>

"It was the type of performance that Obama's supporters have long demanded and that his own aides have been eager to deliver. The question-and-answer session at the end wasn't initially supposed to be broadcast, but the White House pressured GOP leadership to bring the cameras in. They knew the optics it would generate, a source with knowledge of the planning relayed. Hours before the event began, Republican leaders finally relented.

What resulted was what one Democratic strategist described as "amazing theater" -- certainly for cable news. Standing on a stage, looking down at his Republican questioners, Obama assumed the role of responsible adult to the GOP children, or, at the very least, of a college professor teaching and lecturing a room full of students."

23. I don't think they expected to

get their asses kicked inside out. On TV. :rofl:

[Cha]

25. This customer at work was

all happy when I said something like..."I heard Pres Obama kicked repub ass today at their conference?"..:)

He said.."And, it was televised!!:bounce:

[alsame]

28. Yep, The WH asking to having it televised was genius. nt

[jillan]

33. And sober. He usually looks like he just had a few.

Hi Froward :hi:

[Raven]

26. The American Crime Family. First thing that came to my mind. :-)

[Parker CA]

27. They thought they were at their retreat, but stumbled into the first showing of Truthtime with Obama

Absolute full-on destruction. Obama just found the best new weapon in his arsenal. These need to become standard practice. Once a month the GOP gets the truth handed to them on national tv.

Couldn't have been a better way for Obama to start the weekend.

[Clio the Leo]

30. Is there a rule that Cantor and Boehner have to sit together?

Are they a couple?

[yellowcanine]

34. Cantor looks like he is getting ready for a root canal and Boner looks like he just threw up in his

mouth. 1st pic = 3 deer in the headlights.

[BlueIdaho]

37. "Who's bright fucking idea was this again?"

[Duke Newcombe]

38. Looking at the pix of the Republicans...

reminds me of a phrase my friend uses...they "look like they have a mouthful of sour owl shit".

[Phx_Dem]

40. "Holy shit. This may have been a mistake." Or,

First pic: Boner just passed gas and the deadly smell is beginning to permeate the room, making Cantor's eyes squint. It hasn't quite wafed over to Pence yet.

Second pic: Okay, now it's wafed over to Pence!
