Unbelievable b.s., embarrassed to be a Washingtonian.

Beautiful response from a very respectable woman. This should make the GOP proud, and also make a new beginning for D.C. (If one so wishes to see change).

This seems more like "The State of Cathy McMorris" address. There's more rambling than response. The GOP is so out of touch not only with the people but with the GOP itself.

I didn't hear one solution, just her life story growing up in a post FDR fair playing field. Close the gap how GOP? will someone enlighten me please

I decided not to listen to Obama as his message would be same as before, that is, all talk but no action. Cathy's response is very realistic and clear. I give A plus for Cathy and C minus for Obama.

That boy you mentioned listening to Bruce Springsteen is learning a message about America that you would not agree with.  Please don't bring the boss into your world because he loathes your world.  Reagan tried use Bruce too.  Bruce said to Reagan,   "You are not listening."  Same applies here.

Sounds like this girl has an election coming up soon also... Are these people getting worried about their JOB?? I would be if I was in congress right now....

I haven't even finished her response video but i just had to ask what the hell does Obamas' state of the union address have to do with her son who has down syndrome!??? I dont want to sound rude but I dont care i want to know that there are people out there fighting for us hardworking americans who bust our asses to make ends meet no longer struggle to make ends meet I heard nothing but "I worked at mcdonalds, my kid has down syndrome, god bless you all blah blah blah blah"not once did I hear a repsonse towards what president Obama said I cant with the GOP i just cant!!

Someone might want to tell her that the city she referenced at 8:38 is BROOKLYN, not BrookLAND . . . fail.

[lawrence]

A better union? Republican? She didn't say anything important, save for patting herself on her back! If this is all the repubs have to offer, get rid of them. 

[tinofaygo]

I didn't know this was talk about myself hour. How about you try appealing less to the people by giving us your life story and talk more about how you will help the Nation. This is party is falling apart, and bimbo's like her are the reason why. People wanna hear solutions not about you. 

[chadx]

My statements made before reflect a non-biased view of the speech. For once can we not have so much hate mixed with politics? These are real people in a real party presenting real ideas just as much as the Democratic Party is. They way the GOP presented that was outstanding. To say otherwise is to be completely childish and biased.

"I am tired of the coded language used by republican's to discriminate against anyone who is not of their base, republican or rich. I refuse to give these bigoted people a pass on anything! To hell with the
