Standing with Gabby Giffords

[countrygirl_914]

Although Rep. Jeff Flake disagrees politically with Gabby Giffords, they stood together during the State of the Union.

I saw a story about this during lunch today and it made me smile. Good for Jeff Flake.

These are awesome. I wonder if there's one that says "good with the gays."

Confession time. Watching John Boehner get all misty when Gabby resigned made me choke up a bit.

And I hate Tangerine Boehner.

Did you see the whole clip of Debbie Wasserman Schultz reading Gabby's letter? If I wasn't at work I would have cried.

[executivehpfan]

I did and I DID cry omg. I cried last night when President Obama hugged her, too.

Gabby is so amazing.

Wow, Boehner was a sobby mess. This may be the first time I've ever liked him, for a minute.

It's noteworthy and it's sad that it's noteworthy.

Flake also stood up with her every single time she did during the speech whether he agreed with what was being said or not, as did Grijalva, sitting on her other side.

Best moment of the night:

I'm so sad she's resigning but I can't blame her either. I really hope she's able to run again though. I'm dreading who might replace her
