There (sic) decision not to feature a singular response to President Obama's speech on job creation on Thursday shows that Republicans don't expect there to be much to respond to, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said Wednesday.
"I suspect what it means is that the Speaker does not expect to hear much to respond to," Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said on Fox News. "So far there's no indication that anything extraordinary is going to happen in what should be an extraordinary moment —calling a joint session of Congress to make new economic proposals after you've already been president for two and a half years."
On Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) office announced that there would be no singular Republican response to Obama's speech in front of a joint session of Congress on Thursday in which Obama plans to unveil new plans for job creation.
"Every Member of Congress, and – more importantly - the American people, will provide a reaction to the president’s address," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said Tuesday in a statement.
In response, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called the GOP's decision not to offer a formal response "disrespectful."
"I think we'll see if the speech deserves a response. My guess is that the Speaker's right," Blunt continued. "There'll be plenty of time on Friday to respond. Let's see what the president says on Thursday night and then believe me, there'll be plenty of time to respond."
and the song ending with Sarah tossing a football saying “game on, Mister President”
The GOP needs to respond to everything coming out of this White House to continually offer a contrast to Obama’s agenda and present their own ideas.
Obama and the Democrats must not be allowed to control the narrative. This allows them to do that.
Then the GOP response should be less than 10 seconds.
“Thank you Mr. President for the speech. We will respond to your suggestions when we see the details in writing. Good night. God bless America.”
Hey - I can write speeches too...:^)
The Pubs are learning how to manipulate the manipulators.
Mock these greesy weaselly coBamunnists with the truth and then dismiss them!
The R’s need to litterally roll their eyes or laugh out loud..followed by statements like, “are you serious?” “You are kidding,right?”
Oh, someone needs to immitate Reids statement “the war is lost” Only its a refference to the Hoffa/Obama war on the people.
Whack a mole! commie mole that is.
Good point. The whole thing is a photo op. The lack of GOP response will also decrease the number of viewers.
Credit where credit is due. A good response by the gop. Simply ignore his speech and move on. The fewer members of the gop caucus who attend, the better. Send in the janitor instead to vacuum.
No response is best in this case, but if they must respond...Yes Mr. President, we are all for it and will implement it just as soon as the budget shows a surplus to pay for it.

They need to keep hammering that point and not let up. It negates anything he can say.
So the question of the day is, who is going to volunteer to watch this and give running commentary? Not me. But someone here will take one for the team an suffer through it. Bless their soul.

Me either. I won’t put my flat screen at risk.
I actually laughed out loud to that. She is such an amusing cartoon character.
I think you have the answer.
True.
My guess is that the 13 people who watch MSNBC will be the only ones watching this. :)
LOL, Rush Limbaugh was saying the same thing. --Obama is on TV so much it was burning an image into his flat screen
Sounds like a good drinking game:
“Let me be clear” = 1 drink
“There are those who say....” = 2 drinks
“What I will not accept...” = finish the drink.

Sorry folks. Not me. I don’t have cable TV (whew!!)
Someone should lock McLame into a closet so that reporters cannot get to him.
I’m certain that sleazy rino will give the press some suck-up response that only strengthens Zero’s plan to further trash our nation.
Then McLame’s response will be treated by the MSM as the official Republican reply!
