Mocking

They mocked him! Openly mocked him!

Okay, I'll back up. During the State of the Union this evening, GW commented on his inability to pass his SS reforms last year.

And in response, the Democrats openly mocked him! They applauded and cheered. GW's response? He grinned at them.

I was on the one hand terribly amused.

Granted I'm not that old and haven't seen that many State of the Union addresses, but all the same, I have never seen such a display.

On the one hand, I was amused.

On the other hand, I was sad that the state of the union has come to this: open mocking of the president, which he acknowledged without really seeming to care about it at all.

I think that was actually a very sad moment for our nation.
