Insisting the Tea Party is a "force for good" Rep. Michele Bachmann blasted health care reform, called for deep budget cuts and blamed President Obama for failing to find solutions to help the struggling economy.

The response to President Obama's State of the Union address, was on behalf of the tea party movement, and followed the Republican Party's official response on Tuesday night.

“Some GOP aides were reportedly annoyed with Bachmann’s decision, fearing it could appear that the Republicans and the Tea Party were competing with each other. “

Gee, ya think? Who are these “GOP Aides”? Nicole Wallace and other McCainiacs and Romney-bot retreads??

“CNN, the only cable network to air her rebuttal live, was criticized by some who called it irresponsible journalism”

Snaps to CNN for resisting the charge of the RINOs.

I’ve come to the conclusion that those who consider Obama to be a great orator and an intellectual giant have low expectations or know nothing about his background. If they knew the truth about his past and current associations, they would realize what he alll most everything he says has nothing to do with his intentions.

“BTW- Michelle needs a little honest feedback. Look at the camera”

Apparently, there were two cameras - one for the Web feed, one for TV broadcast. This was clearly a production problem and not giving Michelle the proper sight lines.

Gave it a “B”, points deducted for poor eye contact.

That is the first thing I noticed. She was looking to the right of where the camera lens was. Found it strange. Watching her eyes they did not seem to indicate she was reading her speech.

The fact that she looked at the wrong camera the whole time was so distracting, I couldn't watch it. It was like watching Obama, which I can't do either.

It's kinda like when people talk to you and they don't look you in the eye, but they look at your forehead. Rather than listening to what they say, you just keep asking yourself, why won't they look me in the eye?

I suspect that practically nobody watched it anyway.

re eye contact, is it just possible that they either did not instruct her properly or just maybe they switched cameras cues purposely. ( I thought there were at least two cameras trained on her). Is it possible that it was done on purpose?
