Dems Sarcastic Standing Ovation is on ThinkProgress...
Failure of Social Security Privatization Gets Standing Ovation

When President Bush first launched his campaign to privatize Social Security last year, just 39 percent of Americans approved of how he was handling the issue. A year later, that number has dropped to 35 percent.

The sentiments of the majority of Americans was voiced last night when President Bush brought up his privatization plans. Bush’s statement that “Congress did not act last year on my proposal” was met with rousing, unexpected applause that clearly unnerved Bush.

Watch it

Congressional Dems -> :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

5. They didn't show that very well on network TV
I'm glad C-span captured it more clearly. Bush sure looked p.o.'d.
