Wake up, Speaker Boehner. There's some good stuff you might want to hear.
A random sample of voters polled by CNN, both before and after President Obama's State of the Union address, give the president a virtual standing ovation.

That's a total of 81 percent approval—51 percent very positive and 30 percent somewhat positive. The president also significantly shifted the needle on support for the policies he talked about Tuesday night. From January 16-19, CNN polled the group and found majority support for the president's policies; 57 percent thought those policies would move the country in the right 
direction. That ballooned to 72 percent after they watched the speech.
Some prominent Republicans were not so impressed.
"With all due respect to him, he doesn’t set the agenda in the Senate," Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the new majority leader, told reporters at an afternoon news conference. […]
"We're going to try to do the things that we think will make America a better place," McConnell said.
And Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) sniffed, "Sadly, it doesn’t appear that President Obama gets it." Hmmmm…. The American public apparently has some ideas about that, and they seem to be on the president's side.
republicans rave about the people wanting them both times the stole recent elections even though they lost over a million votes to Dems their gerrymandering and blocking votes secured that not the people, this time same game different day, so that said will they honor what the people are now really saying post SOTU or even acknowledge it?

they are saying the same things they say after every speech but accuse him of doing what they are, must be an awfully boring life if all you have is hate, and groundhog day syndrome each day is like the one before, wake up slam Pres., lie to the people, make some stuff up, slam Pres. go to congress for a minute than call a recess, go home slam Pres. to your TV than go to bed dream about slamming Pres. than wake to it all over again day in day out.
