The decidedly apolitical ...

and eternally patient, Mrs. 1StrongBlackMan made two observations during Marco Rubio's response:

1) "His talking to much and is boring."

And 2) "This is a response? To what?!? Did he even listen to President Obama's address? None of the things he's talking about, President Obama mentioned."
