I love The Onion on this…“Rich white men have Latino do their dirty work.”

How pathetic we have become when it’s considered a big deal when some windy politician sneaks in a drink of water during his speech.

A cartoon like this on Valentines Day? No imagination at all.

They released the details of this 100% predictable “response” hours before it was made. It’s amazing to me that people would even watch it. Did they think he was going to say something NEW, or even actually respond to Obama? Nope. He just read the same script again.

… But he’s hispanic, so … uh … “Taco burrito sombrero voto foro los Republicanos.”

@Chillbilly
Of course it’s predictable. The President writes his speech, gives a copy to the opposition. The opposition writes it’s speech. Both are released to “whomever” so everybody can get their talking points (synonym: lies) coordinated within their respective parties. Politics as usual.

Seeing the hate and attacks from the loony left this early, they must be rattled. I challenge you to find some substance to attack the guy on. If he had a D by his name they would be going crazy over him in that he did his speech in two languages. He has an R by his name no big. He comes from a working class that immigrated here LEGALLY. He could be the 1st what ever he is, his only crime in the D’s eyes, He is a threat. He does not need a teleprompter. He speaks from the heart. He has facts and figures to back him up.

I’m not surprised that Rubio needed a drink of water, but I am surprised (a) that they didn’t have it easily accessible for him, and (b) that they didn’t do a retake.

To have any class, they should also have put the water in a glass.

The humor is not in needing a sip of water, it is in the Rs seeming capable of screwing up just about every opportunity they get.

@gypsy8, yeah like the dems do the economy. But I guess the water thing and imagery is more important than reality.

@Mr. King
His parents snuck in just like all the Mexicans do, but because they’re Cuban, they get political asylum."
Legal is Legal. Illegal is illegal. To bad libs do not understand this.
Of course his parents where not going back. They escaped. They lost a lot to come here. They are not on a seasonal scheduled. They did not go back.
I mean is it not fair that if someone risks their lives to be here, give up all property (most of it taken) and they know ahead of time that if they make it they can stay. If not they face death if they do not.
So the short answer is Yes.

@Mr. King
Seeing how many excuses D make for illegal aliens. Those that break the law time and time again. Yes I do believe if he had a D in back of his name the Donkeys would be singing his story of how brave his family was. They would be claiming he is the champion of his people. Why because that is what loony libs do. W had more women and minorities working for him then Obama or Clinton. R could care less. Obama uses affirmative action to put a Latino on the supreme court and he is just the greatest and she is just the greatest because she is Latino, no real resume, more where more qualified and would do the job without bias.
This guy is putting together success and the D know it. So must tear him down.

Rubio’s body dried up from all the lying, so he made a comic lunge for the water. Could be the end of his career.
