THE SPEECH: PASS THIS BILL!!!
I am so proud of my President.
He looked them in the eye. Some of them blinked.
If you know the background, there were even more points made. Like easter eggs. The bridge between Ohio and Kentucky that needs repairs. Boehner (Ohio) and McConnell (Kentucky). Many more. Many more.
It was up front and personal. And, a campaign speech. A good one. They have to realize that he is going to work this stuff hard. He is out there today. In Virginia where that bastard Cantor has his district.
You know, the GOP leaders, if you can call them that, wanted to see a copy of the speech before hand. He said no thanks.
They are shuffling today.
Obama Challenges Congress on Job Plan
I like watching who stands, who applauds. There was a lot of red meat for Democrats. And a lot of "you can't sit while I say this" lines for the Republicans. A few, I think McCain never stood for anything. A few could be seen being bad boys in the last row. Chucking and smirking.
We will see. While Romney and Perry provide grist for the General mill, Obama is going on the hustings.
You know, when he does this he works locally. He has interviews with all the local media and then there are the speeches and "town meetings". With a lot of local Obama office support on followup. Volunteers are signed up right there.
