The State of the Union Tea Party and Republican Responses: Cutting, But Composed

-- On January 25, 2011, New York magazine reported:

"In the grand tradition of opposing party response speeches, Paul Ryan's was pretty good. Frequently, the pre-written and tinny ripostes feel canned and phony — they're crafted before the State of the Union is actually delivered, and often the politicians chosen to deliver them come across as hokey or parochial. (Remember Bobby Jindal?) But Ryan, despite his weirdly bloodshot eyes and uncanny Eddie Munster hair, was coherent and even-keeled. His matter-of-fact delivery helped him pass off a few misleading claims, like the fact that the stimulus "failed" (as opposed to not being enough to save the economy) and that with Obamacare, "millions of people will lose the coverage they currently have." The idea that an interpretation of "limited government" includes having "an important role to create the conditions that promote entrepreneurship, upward mobility, and individual responsibility" is also kind of amusing."
