Just a couple things and that’s all I’ll say:
This is the only time I know of in modern history that the losing side actually verbally responded during the speech. It sounded very much like the British Parliament. Of course Social Security the Battle of the next four years will, so I think it was at least honorable for the fight to begin before the nation standing up to a recently re-elected President.
Second, not so much the speech but the Democratic response. Am I the only one that associates that speech with the post game interview of the losing teams coach outside the locker room? I was just waiting for the Senator from Nevada to saying the Republicans were just the better team today.
And finally it was pretty cool to watch the whole thing in HDTV. You really got a feel for the “Fuck you, I’m not standing” of the Democrats.
