SocraticGadfly: Bipartisan seating at State of the Union?

January 13, 2011

Bipartisan seating at State of the Union?

Really? Really? Dems and GOP sitting mixed at Obama's speech is supposed to actually do something?

Symbolic. And. Trite.

That's the problem with today's Democrats.

When they do try to go the PR route, there's no steak behind the sizzle.

And, the sizzle is lukewarm, transparent and near-odorless.

If you want REAL PR, do something like getting all the citizens whom Obama invited to the healthcare bill signing last summer and seating them on the floor of Congress? Or put Lt. Dan Choi there?

The healthcare people, or Choi, could be saluted by Obama, but NOT within the presidential gallery.
