Not that I was expecting much, but I thought it was a big waste of time. Facebook was flooded with the whole Obama retort about why he doesn't have to campaign because he won, which of course only points to his egoism and misses the mark (he lost the last round of campaigning for the House). Also, love the whole "how do you like those gas prices" meme going around that, along with the economy, he's hanging his hat on. What happened to when gas was $4/gal and we were told the POTUS has no control over gas prices? Avonte Oquendo's mom was Schumer's guest, but not a mention about autism (now approaching 1-50) from the self-proclaimed "autism President." Oh, that's right, no more campaigning to do...

The GOP is a complete hot mess and needs to adjust their leadership and goals. I felt their response was bush-league.

Didn't watch it. I think it is funny they are trying to take credit for gas prices. Production has increased on private lands while it has decreased on federal lands. Not to mention that under his administration the BLM has taken about 20% longer to process permits for drilling than they did under the previous administration. They take almost as long as the IRS does to process an 401c3 request

According to a new report from the Congressional Research Service, since 2009 oil production on federal lands is down by 6 percent and natural gas production on federal lands is down 28 percent. This is particularly striking because since 2009 overall oil production on non-federal land is up by 61 percent and natural gas production on non-federal land is up by 33 percent.

It is the states and private lands that are driving the decrease.

Overall, the Republican party is a hot mess. That said, their winning the House in the face of his campaigning comes across as a bit of a referendum. But it's like they can field some decent middle-management for the R party, but no true executives. Sooner or later I hope they get it together, because the only thing worse than a 2 party system is a de facto one party one.
