Can we infer from the lack of applause from John Boehner that he does not favor the following items:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>We should race to the top instead of the bottom<\/li>\n<li>The GI bill that educated returning WWII veterans so they could get into the middle class was an action worth emulating now<\/li>\n<li>Congress meeting its responsibilities<\/li>\n<li>The people of this country getting immediate action rather than waiting 14 months for the elections to change the politics of Washington<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Only late in the speech did I start recording the things Boehner did not applaud.   If I were to go back and start recording from the beginning, the list would be hugely longer.  I&#8217;ll leave that as an exercise for the viewer.<\/p>\n<p>I also want to go back and compare the points in my imagining of the speech, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/ssgreenberg.name\/PoliticsBlog\/2011\/09\/07\/praise-president-obamas-speech-on-the-economy\/\" title=\"Previous post\" target=\"_blank\">In Praise Of President Obama\u2019s Speech On The Economy<\/a><\/strong>, to what the President said in the actual speech.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>September 10, 2011<\/p>\n<p>I have gone back and extracted the statements that President Obama made that drew applause from Vice President Biden, but not from Speaker Boehner.  Just a couple of these show tepid applause from Boehner versus a standing ovation from Biden. Many of these would make good campaign spots for the Democrats and for President Obama.  If anyone has a connection to any of these entities, pass along my snippets as suggestions.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\"><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"\/PoliticsBlog\/2011\/09\/09\/doing-nothing-is-not-an-option-or-is-it\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Doing Nothing Is Not An Option, Or Is It?<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\"><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"\/PoliticsBlog\/2011\/09\/09\/can-you-wait-14-months\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Can You Wait 14 Months?<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\"><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"\/PoliticsBlog\/2011\/09\/09\/time-to-meet-our-responsibilities\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Time To Meet Our Responsibilities<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\"><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"\/PoliticsBlog\/2011\/09\/09\/g-i-bill-of-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>G.
