Wow. So Paul Ryan has the debating skills of a 14-year-old. I remember being in high school (though it was so long ago), debating some less confident teens. One of the most prevalent characteristics of a poor debater is the tendency to stick to their prepared script, regardless of the initial presenter's (known as affirmative speaker) presentation. You debaters out there know what I mean! Now watch him speak, as I'm sure most of you ignored him.
Seriously, dude, sometimes being too prepared means you are UNprepared. These are all blanket statements, as if the President didn't speak. They should do away with this antiquated tradition. The SOTU is the Prez's hour in the sun, and doesn't need a response. The opposition has ALL FUCKING YEAR to respond. They just look like fools. Now watch this: it will cheer you up.
You're welcome.
You missed the best part! Michele Bachman's Tea Party Response!!!!

She can't talk without using both hands, and keeps looking at another camera... cause CNN is shit, you know.
Also, she has CHARTS! And a picture of Iwo Jima.
My friend Bob put it best when he said, nothing about this speech is factually accurate, starting with her saying "My name is Congresswoman..."
