It has got to sting when your leftist MSM cheerleaders say you are no longer relevant.

idunno about irrelevant. pretty destructive. I wouldn't call a nuclear bomb "irrelevant."
He's an irrelevant person, of course, but his presidency...? "You dropped a bomb on me, baby..."

OK, I didn’t watch his historic campaign speech. Were the Republican members of Congress openly laughing at him? Because if they were, it was an utterly brilliant move. 0bama’s ego is so big, and he thought he was being so serious, that being openly laughed at in that setting had to just burn him up and must be eating at him today. Which is fine by me.

This will get so much worse, in so many ways, by this time next year. Will the Secret Service need to keep him away from sharp objects - and Michelle?

When a Republican Representative holds up a sign “Drilling = Jobs” during the speech that kinda says they were not listening to Obama’s rehash of his socialist drivel.
To: Presbyterian Reporter
Presidential addresses to Congress are often dramatic moments. This one felt like a sideshow. Usually, the press gallery is standing-room-only; this time, only 26 of 90 seats were claimed by the deadline. Usually, some members arrive in the chamber hours early to score a center-aisle seat; 90 minutes before Thursdays speech, only one Democrat was so situated. This column is full of great vignettes! I'm not too familiar with Dana Milbank's ouvre. Was he calling Obama a god a few years back?

I heard Mark Steyn read this on Rush’s show this morning. I laughed until I cried. If all this is true, as Millbank reports it, we are truly witnessing a sea change.

Conservatives are known for their senses of humor.
On the way to the store today, I tuned in Rush and Mark Steyn is subbing. Some guy named Rene called in to be REALLY upset (in a very slow, kinda retarded monotone) about how Steyn was making fun of the president and his “Pass this plan now” rhetoric. Rene assured Steyn that since Obama is president ... Rene was SURE he could scrape the money together to pay for the bill.
I both laughed ... and was sad for our future, because there are a lot of Renes out there.

Former representative David Wu (D-Wash.), forced to resign this summer over accusations of sexual impropriety, nevertheless showed up for the speech (in a business suit rather than his tiger suit) and took a seat among the Democrats. Bada boom!

I too forget Dana Milbank’s pedigree. But I do believe he is an Obama cheerleader and/or a run-of-the-mill leftist journalist.
To: lonevoice
The nation is in an unemployment crisis, and Obama was finally, belatedly, unveiling his proposals, but Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) thought this joint session of Congress would be a good time to ask Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to autograph a copy of the childrens book House Mouse, Senate Mouse. Snap!

I didn’t see it. Is this all true? The “chuckles” etc?

Did someone really hold up a sign during the speech, in-between the laughter?
Dang, maybe I should have watched.
To: Presbyterian Reporter
It’s Obama’s version of Carter’s Malaise Speech.

President Obama gave one of the most impassioned speeches of his presidency when he addressed a joint session of Congress on Thursday night"it is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing."

Steyn himself could not have written a more ruthless piece of ridicule. Milbank is writing with the rage of a jilted former lover.

The GOP has finally internalized Saul Alinksy’s book.
Good for them.
That’s how you win.
