During the annual State of the Union speech, all eyes should be on the commander in chief. Yet during President Obama’s SOTU address on January 28, Americans couldn’t stop looking at the man behind the president.

Nope. Not Vice President Joe Biden, despite his goofy grins. It was the guy on the right.

Throughout Obama’s big speech, House Speaker John Boehner went from bored to disappointed to downright mad

Ok, now what does he do about it. Where is the impeachment. Where is the House on investigations that the Senate and DOJ is just stalling until the next election and we get Hitlery.

Funny! I think a human being scratching his cheek is sort of like a cat licking its shoulder: a sign of hostility. Or at least that’s what I’ve read.

Boehner is not altogether bad but he just doesn’t speak up enough, so even when he’s on the right track, nobody knows it. So maybe that’s why he’s reverted to mysterious finger symbols.

BTW, Obama looks like a lunatic in this photo. He’s about as tanned as Charlie Crist...well, maybe less, because Crist must have a daily appointment at the tanning bed...and his face has absolutely no expression. Even Boehner looks more real.

FOX News ran a hilarious video in double time——throughout the SOTU, Biden was scratching himself (everywhere but his behind).

I was also reminded of the FReeper who posted that then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi was sending secret messages——b/c she was blinking a mile a minute during O’s SOTU. LOL.

Boehner should have brought a laundry basket in full of socks and folded them during the speech.

Maybe Boner could have put a sun lamp on the podium in front of him and worked on his tan during the ordeal. He would have to make sure though that he did not over do it on the sun lamp timer.

I think it’d be equally great to bring a notepad, and make a big show of making a note every time Obie lied. You wouldn’t have to explain it, the non-brain-dead part of the audience would catch on pretty quickly.

Scary. Tanning beds run wild.

BTW, does anybody now if Charlie Crist is a Scientologist? He’s from that part of Florida, I believe. And he’s clearly nuts.
