Right-wing bloggers unglued after Obama's primetime address

Maybe it was the snap polling that showed Americans overwhelmingly liked the speech and now support Obama's health care reform push.

And yes, these are the same conservative hypocrites who lectured liberals during the Bush years about not showing sufficient respect for the Oval Office.
