I think this is a disgrace not to show respect to the president of the united states. I voted for him but he will never see my vote again..SHAME ON YOU
The republican party is in trouble and this is not the way to get people to like you..
The democratic party never showed disgrace to president Bush... who could never give a speech, he was not smart enough to be president...
Anyone who thinks this is ok is no better than Shimkus or the other disgraceful republicans..THE PRESIDENT SHOULD ALWAYS BE GIVEN RESPECT UNLESS HE BREAKS THE LAW......
Govmt sucks

What a dumbass, why did he show up just to walk out? Politicians do the strangest things but not strange to them.

It's Quite Apparent To Me. This Congressman Hates President Barack Obama because HE IS BLACK! Why else would he give him the Ultimate Indignity of a Walkout mid-Speech?

That's what you get in Downstate Illinois - the Land of Matthew Hale.

Daily Horoscope for December 30

Libra

If you're invited to a party or gathering today and you don't know whether to go, you should. You'll have a terrific time and you might meet someone who always makes your knees go weak. Even if it's a perfectly harmless flirtation and you're both happily committed to other people, it will still do your ego good to have a tantalizing conversation with this person.
