Yelling at the President WHILE HE WAS SPEAKING, holding up fliers and handwritten signs, and not actually listening to what he had to say. High ranking GOP official Eric Cantor was too busy texting to pay attention. This is sickening and completely unacceptable behavior by elected representatives. I don't care who they are or what constituency they represent, this cannot be tolerated.
Can you imagine if Democrats had pulled this during a Bush speech before Congress? They would be tarred and feathered in the media, not on just Fox News. They would be called immature and unpatriotic and not fit for office.
I think it is clear that the behavior of the conservatives we have seen at the townhalls has been replicated at the highest levels of our government, if not encouraged.
And still, STILL, Obama continues to reach out to these clowns- treating their ideas as legitimate and worthy of consideration. He either has some HUGE brass balls to wade into that cesspool or he still believes this post-partisan kumbaya crap.
What do you think?
