This is the first debate with Perry who is the GOP poll leader right now. That's exactly why the children at the WH scheduled on top of it.

He can address joint session Thursday afternoon, broadcast on channels. Oprah should be available. Networks can re-broadcast or use on their newscasts if anything happens to be newsworthy.

Don't really need the Prez wasting our time. We may not have jobs but we do have lives.

The President had two years to do anything about the unemployment issue. After failing to address it a new Congress was elected. Of course that Congress has been as much of a disappointment, but it is a bit late in the game.

As expected Boehner acts the child, Obama acts the adult.

Pelosi, bob. You know very well that Boehner, who I don't like because he is pure establishment, is the adult in this one.

When my six year old told me the other day he was not getting dressed because he did not want to go to school, something he knows very well he has to do, I became the child because I said in a stern voice "son, you should get dressed now, we leave in 10 minutes"?

No Bobby Obama and his staff look foolish for this...Repub debate has been on the books for awhile and football season is here so no one cares for more Hope & Change air time from the clueless POTUS.

The Repubs are foolish for not exploiting this to their advantage by letting him give his speech first then tear him up on it during the debate.More government stimulus,infrastructure,less restrictions on business with tax insentives blah blah blah....

Now that spin is funny. The GOP demonstrating, once again, where their priorities lie. Clearly with the "Spin n Grin Tour", not with the American people, yet some of you continue to adore them. Amusing.

Yeah about as amusing as Obama's silly quips and jokes like the one where the stimulus didn't create the jobs they hoped for and his job exporting Jobs Czar laughing like a court jester.Obama has been demonstrating once again his anti-american business attitude with his Canadian Black Bus Tour,G.E.'s CEO Jobs Czar Inman who has exported more than 16,000 G.E.jobs overseas and don't pay taxes.

You know this guy talks of reviewing the time it takes to o.k.money to business for start ups but has delayed USEC for over two years now...2 billion now will create 6,000 jobs in Piketon to start.This guy needs to get out of campaign mode and start doing the job he was elected to do...do what he promised to do...this excuse making,weather natural diasaters,Bush fault,I inherited this bad hand, its Congress and the TP fault crap is as bad as his economic jibberish and sure that will be in his speech again blame blame blame as will be the failed green energy agenda
