‘USA, USA, USA!’: See the Speech That Got a Standing Ovation in Congress Today
(http://www.theblaze.com/stories/see-the-speech-that-got-a-standing-ovation-in-congress-today/)

Representative Mike Kelly, speaking on the House floor today, managed something very rare in the history of the institution – he got a standing ovation.

Applause isn't usually allowed on the House floor, but the speech was so rousing, and so to the point, many people there just couldn't stop themselves from applauding. There were chants of USA! USA!

Check it out....

When I read, "Standing O," I thought this thread was gonna be about someone who got Oprah off her fat ass.

In the house of course.... Great speech and exactly right. If this would have been the senate it would have been booed.

Really great speech

Why don't we have a majority in the senate and actually a president who thinks this way?

I did hear a couple of boos from the Democrats but it was very well received from most of the audible folks. I doubt we'll ever hear it in the left-wing media but I'd be willing to bet there was bipartisan support for Rep. Kelly's position. Who, besides President Obama, could support 1,100 pages of parameters for granting loan approval?

I am very encouraged by the reaction of the Congress-critters to this speech. There may yet be hope....

Hurry sundown ...................... November 6, 2012.

Then we get hope. And change. Back in their rightful place.

Wrong. Putting Mitt in charge slows the train heading off the track from 100mph to 60mph.

Well. Who you gonna pick ?

Secondly. And most importantly. Mitt knows business. He knows making the tough financial decisions. If he were to announce now what really needs to be done, he loses by 10 points. So he has to get elected, does he not ? Is Ron Paul going to get elected ?

Now, are the Republicans, again infused by the Tea Party, going to make a serious effort, or aren't they ? You don't know. And there is no plan B on the menu. So, are we gonna do it ? Or not ?

I am looking for a third party candidate that will bring the train to full stop and not drive us over the cliff.

You must be wearing "rose-colored glasses." Go Mitt!

I am not excited by Gov. Romney but voting for a third-party candidate is equivalent to voting for Pres. Obama. I had friends who voted for Ross Perot and the results were President Clinton winning without a majority in the popular vote and having two years with a Democrat Congress. Fortunately, in that distant past, the Democrats in Congress didn't have a majority of socialists and they denied President Clinton what the socialists in Congress gave President Obama.

I don't like it but this is the unvarnished reality of the situation. Barry is so damaging that the focus has to be on removing him and his radical administration from the Federal Government. Four more years of this and we will be in the deepest depression in history and no longer even a semblance of a free country.

We have to get him OUT. He's dangerous. He's a radical. He IS harming this country.

I was one of the idiots who voted for Perot and helped the coward Clinton get in! Ugggh! The guilt still haunts me.

Don't feel too guilty. I chickened out and didn't vote for Sen. Goldwater. President Johnson was the most evil man in the White House between President F. D. Roosevelt and President Obama.

I don't think Nixon was that bad. He wasn't perfect, but none of them are.

Due to LBJ's warmongering, I was drafted in early 66 when I was barely 19. I didn't want to go, but unlike the coward Clinton, I did go.

I believe Obama is clearly the worst president in our history.

President Nixon was a liberal but not nearly as bad as President Johnson or President Obama. I almost choked when Sen. Kerry kept referring to the Vietnam War as "Nixon's War". Liberals can lie with such self-righteous outrage. Who was President when Sen. Kerry went to war? You know, before he had enough political credit for the war to accrue credit for being against the war.
