My hat goes off to him for this. He is quite a orator. He has some whopping stamina also. No teleprompter. Clearly he is Presidential.

See how the MSM covered this one - notably, CNN seemed to miss it completely while the rest buried it on the 2nd tier, or below their front page: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/03 ... ilibuster/

See who stood with R.Paul here: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/03 ... who-didnt/
