Here’s a sample of the tweets:

• When will Barry promise a chicken in every pot?
• this is supposed to be uplifting?? i’m depressed.
• This speech is making me really really really not like Obama. He hates the free market
• Obama: Big government is the answer. We’ll even buy you boots!
• dude, I like you, just please don’t raise my taxes!
• Obama doesn’t speak for this military family. HE can explain his position and Clinton’s to my Gold Star Daughter. No way, no how, NOBAMA
• People around me are crying and sobbing
• There seems a disconnect from Obama to the audience because they are so damn far away from him….unlike on the stump
• This is not what I was hoping for. Harhar.
• sorry. I don’t find Obama moving or inspiring. Just another speech
• Did Barack just announce support for Drill Here Drill Now?
• Payouts to the auto companies. Detroit breathes a sigh of relief.
• Uh, ok. so he’s for good schools, clean water, and more jobs. Lots of fluff, no substance. But it sounds good.
• There’s a Jed Bartlet speech in here somewhere in those last few lines
• Appealing to xenophobic undercurrent of dependency on “oil from the Middle East” is popular but wrong. Most US oil comes from non-ME sources

TWITTER

#dontgo is the Twitter broadcast of the House Republicans action to pressure Pelosi and the Democrats to return to deal with an energy bill.

Day three and the media is beginning to notice that the Republicans are serious.

Patrick Ruffini explains the situation, and, rightly I believe, suggests that this may be a turning point for the right in this country.

The San Francisco Chronicle lists some of the many.

Tally:

6 Republicans
10 Democrats
