Christine O'Donnell Bashes Obama's 'Hypocritical' State Of The Union Address (VIDEO)

Former GOP Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell announced Wednesday that she was unimpressed with President Obama's State of the Union address, calling it "hypocritical" and accusing him of co-opting the Tea Party's message of fiscal conservatism to push an agenda of bigger spending.

"Those catch phrases sounded familiar because he took them right from Tea Party candidates," O'Donnell claimed on ABC News's "Good Morning America" of Obama's rhetoric on fiscal austerity. "He used Tea Party sound bites to announce more big government spending programs."

O'Donnell also said the speech was "hypocritical," pointing to a number of the president's goals, including his promise to eliminate wasteful programs while pushing for increased wireless internet access.

Beyond that, O'Donnell also seemed disappointed by the display of bipartisan unity shown by some members of Congress who decided to sit next to members of the other side of the aisle.

"I like when the Democrats sit on one side and the Republican sit on another," O'Donnell said. "It's supposed to be civil debate, you know, we're not all supposed to braid each other's hair and sing Kumbaya -- not in Congress. Let's have healthy debate and solve the country's problems. I think something was missing last night with that whole prom date."

Why on earth is anybody paying any attention to this woman?

O'Donnell is a wannabe has-been -- she doesn't even qualify as a true has-been. (You have to have been a "been" to become a "has-been".)

If you recall, Palin accused Obama of stealing her theme of "Change" when she ran for Governor of Alaska ... because nobody in the history of U.S. politics had ever come up with that slogan before, right?

I love it. Advice from a person who couldn't ride the 2010 conservative wave to victory. What's next? Commentary about the speech from Meg Witman? The bats are out tonight.

So, Christine doesn't like the crossing of the isles during the stateof the union. Are we supposed to care? Hers is just another display from a member of a broken party full of wackos, (and I do mean wackos). Does this woman even have a job, and why is she allowed to comment at all? Don't tell me, she's "mulling" a run for president. Join the club sister! The more the merrier! Oh, say can you see........... Obama with a second term. YES!

Why do you people keep giving this little half-witted twit grifter press? Why? Is it her shrewd insight? Is it her gifted polemics? Is it her rock-solid philosophical foundation? Why do she and Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann keep getting front page coverage. There is not one grain of common sense between them, yet every day a new story. WHY IS THAT?
