    Then the administration should have treated it like he was speaking to Congress and not a campaign event.

    The POTUS should have arrived on time to speak at 8pm, not 8:10. The circus that was the members of the congressional branch greeting and escorting the POTUS, and the fawning over the POTUS cabinet like they where welcoming royalty, to me, was abhorrent.

    Even with a teleprompter, he still stumbled all over his speech.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    Find me video of a speech to Congress where the party leaders of the POTUS's party don't do that.

    Ild find it abhorrent for any POTUS or House of Congress to pull this kind circus act.

    When you go to a play and the the curtain is suposed to go up at 8:00, wouldnt you be irked if the curtain didnt go up until 8:10? Before the curtain went up wouldnt you be irked if the stage hands came out and announced they were escorting the prima donna into the theater?

    Rep. Wilson deserves a slap on the back and an atta boy.

    Your right. An atta boy is way to little for exercising his First Amendment rights.

    So....

    It's okay to exercise your First amendment rights by shouting over someone who is exercising theirs? Yep, great way to debate and solve problems.

    Responsibility goes hand in hand with the rights enumerated in the Constitution.

    The Representatives have handed the Democrats perfect examples of Republican behavior which they'd be foolish not to use in a campaign. It's always a bad concept to hand the opposition ammunition.

    Note to the Republicans.....when you find yourself in a hole, put down the shovel.

    The Representatives have the House floor open to them to speak as they wish daily for one minute speeches. Should the Representative wish to do so, he could use that time to speak his peace.

    Interrupting a speech is petty and childish.

    You complain about the President arriving 10 minutes late, but it's okay for someone to cause further delay and attempt to turn the speech into a circus?

    Nice double standard.

    Note to the Dems, dont bother with the shovel just get some union goons to do the heavy lifting for you. Heck beat people up while your at it.

    Francis, the Dems have been shouting people down for decades, somehow its now in bad taste?

    What double standard? The congress bent over backwards and filled the clown car! Dems and Reps alike.

    Rep Wilson caused a half second delay with his remark Francis. THe speech was to start at 8:00 PM, who delayed the speech longer? Obama, or Wilson?

    I LIKE that!

    I'm not so sure that it only applies to the Elephant Riders ...

    Seems like there's a lotta deep holes on both sides of the PT aisles.
