Sensenbrenner gives crowd boo material

U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Menomonee Falls, got the crowd in a
negative mood to begin his speech.

After practicing a round of boos from the delegates, Sensenbrenner
began listing "what they're bragging about" from the first 100 days of
the Obama administration.

Sensenbrenner rattled off a laundry list of domestic and foreign
initiatives. The loudest boos were reserved for meeting with
Venezuelen President Hugo Chavez, holding a town hall meeting in
France, and bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia.

The longtime 5th CD rep said 549 days remain until the 2008 elections
from Republicans to "dig in our heels and return to the conservative
values that we cherish."

Sensenbrenner also criticized a proposed carbon cap-and-trade plan,
and promised to lead the fight against it in the House.

"We're going to win that fight," Sensenbrenner said.
