7. He got a drink of water during a speech....... How terrible. The problem is mean spirited, conservative hating liberals. That's just what they do.
Cal Thomas: 'It’s Not About Rubio Drinking Water, It’s About the Media Drinking the Kool-Aid for Obama' :)
How about that BO and his golf outing with the tiger?
Liberals are concerned about Marco and his future leadership. Too bad, huh sla?
TROLL ALERT - Reagan raised taxes 10 times in his terms
.
well............
Yes, you are dufus.
he also did a lot of other things regarding taxes and went from 70-28%.
But 1980 was was over 32 years ago. Big deal. slick willie raised over ten women in his terms. Heh.
Dufus Liberals will be disappointed at the future success of Marco Rubio.
It wasn't water drinking per se
It was the way he felt the need to keep staring at the camera as he bent and reached for the water. He looked like a kid giving his first speech. And yes, Ray-gun, Rubio may go on to much greater things. He'll just have to use this as a learning experience. He has proven himself to be flexible. For instance, after calling English the de facto official language of the US in 2012, he chose to give the response to the state of the union address in both Spanish and English.
Well................
Yes, I'm sure it irritated liberals. Gee, what a man. No he wont have to use this as a learning experiance.
Where's your bank lach? Ready to meet me with your stupid learning experiance payoff?
