ptick's tweeting

And on another note, what is with all the congress wo/men Twittering during BO's speech???? Shouldn't they have been listening and well you know, REPRESENTING THEIR PEOPLE!!! But instead they were tweeting....keeping the world up to date with what they were doing. Here is some of what you could have learned from your representatives if you were paying attention to their tweets instead of BO's speech:

Texas Republican Michael C. Burgess spent his time examining the president's prepared remarks. "Not much healthcare in tonight's speech it seems," he tweeted while waiting for the President to arrive.

Montana Republican Denny Rehberg said the excitement in the room was palpable. "Waiting to hear Barack," he wrote. "Place is on fire." South Carolina's Gresham Barrett tweeted that the "Capitol is buzzing."

Rep. Earl Blumenauer, a Democrat from Oregon, sent out a flurry of tweets during the evening. "One doesn't want to sound snarky, but it is nice not to see Cheney up there," he remarked just before the speech. "Obama enters," Blumenauer wrote after the House Sergeant-at-Arms announced the President's entrance. "Crowd goes wild. Members taking pictures. McCain and Lindsey Graham. What a picture."

OMG it is like I was there!!!!!
