Comments about ‘Orrin Hatch is red-faced at prayer breakfast’

Out of touch with the people and technology.

Maybe the cell phone call was a form of Divine communication? It was a prayer breakfast, after all.

Anyone who has a regular family prayer has experienced this all too common occurrence. I know that in the end Senator Hatch delivered a subtle, honest, sincere prayer. Your a Good Man Senator
Jack,

There are a lot of things I don't like about Hatch but this was funny... I think he handled it gracefully.

Who hasn’t had their cell phone go off at an inopportune time???

Now we know why he can't turn off the lobbyists.

Senator Hatch, how hard is it to turn the phone off? You know how to push a single button right?

aaaaaaaah poor baby.

Hatch's cell phone rang just as he stepped up to the microphone. The audience, including the president and vice president, burst into laughter.

That was ME CALLING HIM to remind him that:

Last year's financial crisis made it clear what happens when Wall Street behaves recklessly - millions in lost jobs, billions in taxpayer-funded bailouts, and trillions in lost retirement savings.

Now Congress has a chance to hold Wall Street accountable by passing strong financial reform that will protect consumers and small businesses and promote long-term economic growth.

But Wall Street lobbyists are working hard to prevent real reform.

Tell your members of Congress TODAY to support strong financial reform that protects the American people, not the powerful interests on Wall Street.


But I guess he's to busy flirting around with his RINO and Liberal buddies hey?.

I don't know why, but saying a little breakfast prayer always makes my bacon and eggs a little better...I even once saw Jesus in the egg yolk, crazy!

...and well played by the senator!

I can't wait for someone to edit the video to replace his ringtone with the one from that Geico commercial.

Really, do you think he is the only person who doesn't know how to operate their phone? How many meetings have I been to where the hosts announces to everyone to turn of their devices yet their is always an interruption! How many movies do I go to and someone's phone goes off? Heck, I call my own mother and she answers it in the middle of her church as she runs to the door to step out because she is embarrassed about not turning it off. and she chats in the foyer to me as the service goes on! This is not an age problem or a political party problem. It is our society. We have to have these phones with alarms so we can be someplace other than we are and talking to people who are someplace else. We all need to stop and live in the moment.
Everyone silence your phones when it is important!

the other joke was the lady next to him held to her teac cup and almost "sipped" thru the prayer...!

I thought, according to a letter a few days ago, that we didn't have prayer anymore?

This could have happened to anyone- let it go away

The ringing of the cell phone is the signal that it is time to pray.

Was it the ghost of Christmas past calling Hatch?.

Last year's financial crisis made it clear what happens when Wall Street behaves recklessly - millions in lost jobs, billions in taxpayer-funded bailouts, and trillions in lost retirement savings."

Congress behaves more recklessly with our money than Wall Street ever could. Who holds them accountable? You're asking the fox to guard the chickens.

Haven't we all had this happen? I sure have and it truly is so embarrassing.

If he's to old and feeble to know how to turn off the rining on the phone. May the lord help us. I am peronally impressed he could figure out what was rining and locate it. Wow!

Contrary to popular opinion in Washington, every time a cell phone rings on Capitol Hill a senator DOES NOT earn his wings. Sorry Orrin.

Being from Orrin's home state, I think it was probably a wake up call to Orrin. When he was running against Frank Moss for the senate seat, he asked the question, "What do you send a senator who has served four terms in the senate? You send him home!" Good OLD ORRIN has served longer than Frank Moss did. Listen to the wake up call Orrin, whoever it was from. You are just one of the good old boys who has put us in the mess we're in. It's time to send old Orrin and all his old bud's in washington home! Wake up Utah, It's time to send Orrin Hatch home!
