Fire and water

Dem passion, GOP thirst

Fire and water

POSTED: Wednesday, February 13, 2013, 8:41 AM
President Barack Obama delivers his State of the Union address on (AP)

President Obama seasoned his 6,500-word State of the Union address/laundry list of federal stimuli with oratory that sometimes soared. His "they deserve a vote" riffery on behalf of Newtown massacre and other gun violence victims was moving and memorable.

But Republican reactions were forgettable and oddly...parched.

Sweaty, would-be GOP savior Marco Rubio's penchant for thirst-quenching during his SOTU response?

And that Republican hack who brought a dried-up rocker and firearms fetishist as his date?

Bad, bad optics.

But the evening's un-congeniality prize surely goes to House Speaker John Boehner, whose tone-deaf sitdown during the standing ovation for venerable voter Desiline Victor was worthy of Chris Brown.

    Agreed. I wish more people would vote Independent.

    @Lou - First of all, thanks for pointing out how 'keep the change' conjured up a false accusation.

    Secondly, I'm not a Democrat as much as I'm an anti-Republican. Give me a viable 3rd Party and I would take a serious look. Christie maybe?

    Truthful, informative, honest. Oh, not Obama's speech, but the ingredient listing on a box of saltines. Quit supporting the hacks (Ds and Rs) that have destroyed out economy. The writer of this blog is a lemming at the front of the line. The cliff is in sight.

    Show me where it was copied from. You can't because he made it up and you mindlessly repeated it. Dope.
