20. I think Gov. Christie was shaking his head when President Obama said that.

The camera cut to him for just a second, so maybe the movement could have been misinterpreted. But it did look as though he had to make a show of disagreeing with the President's defense of public workers.

[Clio the Leo]

23. missed it, shame nt

[highplainsdem]

25. Yes, shame on Christie. It was childish behavior, and he looked like a sulky child.

[Clio the Leo]

18. Slams GOP for making infrastructure investment a partisan issue....

"Lincoln laid the rails!"

[Clio the Leo]

19. I am missing a LOT ... will post video/transcript later. nt

[Clio the Leo]

21. He's just smacking the GOP up one side and down the other.....

.... speaking VERY frankly about implementation of the health care law. "If YOU can come up with a better way, then do it! It SAYS that in the law!"

Again, hold for transcript/video.

[Clio the Leo]

22. Breaking: Govs Christie & Barbour just stood up and announced they are NOT running for Prez...

... KIDDING ... but I'd LOVE to know what they're thinking ATM. Surely quivering in their loafers.

[pscot]

15. I don't want to hear it

I no longer want to hear what this President has to say. Talk is cheap. It's what he does that counts.

[elleng]

24. Wouldn't want to confuse yourself with facts, eh,

like telling Govs if they come up with better health care plans, they may implement them in 2014 rather than 2017.

[pscot]

26. A photo op legitimizing

Jeb Bush is a fact that is hard to swallow. But not, apparently, for our President.

[jenmito]

27. Wow. Really? That's a problem for you? How DARE Obama "legitimize" Jeb Bush

with a "photo op." Obama should NEVER even be in the same PLACE as a Repub. How DARE he! :rofl:
