Why didn't anyone tell us Grumpy Cat got an invite to this year's State of the Union address?
Wait, he wasn't there? It was Speaker of the House John Boehner, you say? No! The resemblance, some say, is uncanny.
Much of Twitter agreed: Johnny boy put on his best grumpy-puss face while U.S. President Barack Obama outlined his plans for the future. The Republican sat crotchety-ly behind the Prez, barely flinching at the jokes, squirming during the touchy-feely parts and managing to stay in his seats during virtually every standing O.
Grumpy cat just got out irritated.

I am really impressed that the President managed to get Grumpy Cat to fill in for Boehner tonight.— EmmyMik (@emmymik) February 13, 2013
@jarpad Grumpy Cat is a ball of joy compared to Boehner— ~addi~ (@addimaree) February 13, 2013
Also is Boehner the hardest man to get excited? Putting him next to Biden is like putting Grumpy Cat next to Leslie Knope. #SOTU— Emma Badame (@pollyprissypant) February 13, 2013

And of course, Boehner gave everyone's favorite unimpressed gal McKayla Maroney a run for her silver medal in crabbiness.
