Why would anyone respond to BS and hot air? Obama is a liar first class and an incompetent first class as well as being very un-American.

I think the response should be a quick 90 second spot showing pictures of Obama at the various companies he's visited and touted, then overlaying the text “Bankrupt x/x/2011”.

Obama will prattle on for the better part of an hour ... the hour leading up to the kick off. Any rebuttal would be competing with the game itself ... the pubbies won't be sucked into that situation.

I’ve always thought rebuttals were dumb anyway, but in this case, I don’t think the repubs have any better ideas than obumer anyway.

It's interesting that a response or no response both have possible benefits and consequences I think Speaker Boehner is playing this the right way.

Dadgummit, John! When the people are being lied to, silence isn’t golden!!

Different strategy is being used here. Instead of the usual partisan BS, the GOP is silent, making some people think for once in their lifetimes.

Wonder if they are going to have the mixed crowd in the chamber like before? Remember when had the sitting arrangement with the Republicans and Democrats sitting with each other instead of Dems on one side of the aisle and Reps on the other side?

If they stay with the traditional way, there will be more sitting and not applauding. That will show up BIG TIME as the cameras pan out over the two sides of the chamber.

I hope one of the the candidates tonight addresses Obummers speech and give a PRE-REBUTTAL with sound ideas and thoughts for jobs through the PRIVATE SECTOR!
Perhaps this is the reason for the non-rebuttal... to open up the floor to the candidates.

If so... good move.

I like this idea. After Obummer fails, the talking heads on the MSM would just be focusing on what the GOP said to take attention away. As it stands, no one will watch this garbage and at the end, the MSM will be forced to discuss the egg this loser laid in this speech. The next day when people check in to see if anything happened, the MSM will be hand wringing over the rotten performance.

That hand is too deathly white to be Boenhers. Looks like McCain’s hand.

This speech is going to be so ho hum, same old, same old, why would you even dignify it with a response. Plus there will be plenty of republicans around taking questions afterwards that can respond should Oblame-o go bat spit crazy with his blame games and finger pointing. Oblame-o could go completely off the tracks tonight and if he does, let him take himself down in flames.

He deserves absolutely no respect from anybody. And old crazy Nancy Pelosi is relevant to what?

Boner will be crying too hard to make any statement. Dork!

As Abraham Lincoln said

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

This is where Zero is at - the more he talks the more foolish and petty he appears.

There is no need to respond to Zero's tripe.

No real reaction to 0bama is needed until he puts his plan in writing and it is scored by the CBO.

Hillarious!

The talking heads will be reduced to “the GOP doesn’t have a jobs plan, “the GOP is disrespectful,” (or some such idiocy), and “the GOP didn’t do a rebuttal, what does that mean” and completely go off the rails on Obama’s jobs bunkum.

The MSM is screwed in all directions on this one.

Bravo!

They don’t need a response. They just need to add a laugh track.

Indeed, why comment on something that’s already been said before -

more government spending on “infrastructure”
more government spending on “unemployment insurance”
more government spending on “green jobs”

as a matter of fact, they ought to “pre-comment” on these issues, knowing that that’s all it will be about.

Interesting move by Boner. Curious to see how it plays out.

I believe his name is spelled "Boehner," though I'm sure they spell it your way over on DemocraticUnderground.

Rush is ‘responding’ to 0bummer right now.
