Correction: Pres. Obama mentioned in his speech before the joint session that his proposals had been endorsed by "both Republicans and Democrats in the past." So he has used the word "Republican" in speeches before today.

Allow me to borrow Speaker Boehner's own rhetorical tactic: I shouldn't call the Republican's a bunch of callous idiots, but ... the Republicans are a bunch of callous idiots.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
It's ridiculous that a person in a public place can be arrested for recording with electronics what they are obviously allowed to record with their brain, The person is allowed to be there, and to look and listen.
