Hello I'm Marco Rubio and I'm an Idiot

[Cane4Dems]

what the heck is he even talking about?- he's blaming our President for laying out plans that Pres. Obama didn't even mention once in his speech

seems like Marco Rubio is giving a rebuttal to the "What we crazy nutjob republicans think Pres. Obama said" and not to the actual speech itself

1. Maybe he watched it on

Faux with his iphone. LOL!

2. That happens when you write a response to something that doesn't exist

He is the student writing the essay response without ever having read the text. He hopes the BS he throws will stick somehow.

3. Republicans love their Strawman Obama, don't they?

4. His speech was written before Obama gave his speech. And what was with him touching/scratching

his face and ducking out of the frame to get a sip of water?!

[Cane4Dems]

5. haha i know it was written before....

but still it was completely out of sync with criticism that made no sense

[jenmito]

6. Yeah...

for anyone who first heard Obama's speech, they're thinking the same thing.

[Mr.Bill]

7. He's not even smart enough to know

that giving the rebutal to the SOTU address is a political death sentence. Has been for decades, at least for the Republicans.

9. Good thing the Mittster did not assign Rubio to give the Keynote Address at the 2012 GOP convention.

It would have destroyed the Republican Party's chances in 2016.

10. I really don't like "responses" to SOTU speeches

I find them canned and full of sour grapes and, frankly, depressing to listen to after a rousing SOTU address. What I would really like to see is a genuine off-the-cuff response to the actual speech, not a five-ten minute anti-whoever-the-President-is-screed.

11. live TV, live interviews are the very best equalisers- no wonder republicans hide from the press.
