Old and In the Way

I'm thinking the Republicans are going to act like a bunch of assholes tonight.

I fully expect that when Obama points out the progress made on job creation, they will be boo's. In fact, anything good will be boo'd. Perhaps some groans and an angry outburst. Maybe someone will walk out. This is an election year and I don't think they are disciplined enough to allow Obama to make any point that will put him good light. They will act like the spoiled juveniles that they are. And, once again, the American people will get an opportunity to see which Party is trying to do the right thing...and which Party is committed to making things as bad as possible.

This occured during the Clinton impeachment nonsense. The Republicans sat on their hands the whole time. They did not stand and applaud as President Clinton entered the chamber. As soon as the speech finished, the Rethugs walked out, again without any applause.
