Remember
this from back in December, when certain elements in the Republican Party were
suggesting that they shouldn't invite President Obama to deliver a State of the Union address?
Asked if he planned to extend an invitation to Obama, Boehner replied, “Listen, the more the president talks about his ideas, the more unpopular he becomes. Why would I want to deprive him of that opportunity?”
You
need new
talking points, Johnny:
Well, looking at Gallup tracking data, on the day of the State of the Union address, Obama’s approval rating was just a little underwater – 46% approval, 49% disapproval. As of today, those numbers are largely reversed – 50% approval, 45% disapproval.
As a matter of fact,
most Americans liked the ideas the president outlined in that speech.
Wrong again, Mr. Speaker ...
