Also, The Swamp reports that GOP Rep. John Shimkus walked out on the speech. The dude bailed with just a couple of minutes left. It's disrespectful, sure. But given the general consensus on how brutally partisan was Obama's speech, I don't blame the guy. Decorum's not what it's all cracked up to be when you're supposed to be showing deference to a habitual liar.
Plus, from The Hill, "Obama Speech to Congress Unlikely to Be Game Changer." And more on that at Riehl World View, "Second Guessing Obama Speech."
I'm giving extra credit to any student of mine who watches and writes about the speech. I have 4 or 5 students who took me up on it and hope to have a couple more tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteSounds great, Vegas Guy!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost a given that Karl Rove is right. No wonder they fear him.
