It is not funny, the President picked an exact day the Republican field was to be on TV in a debate where they would be positioning themselves as the Republican candidate for President.
Of course they would all be slamming Obama if they are smart.
So why not then give the speech when he wants to in a different location and later in the evening after the already scheduled votes, and invite any members of Congress who think the subject matter of the speech is important to attend? I presume he'll get most of the Democratic members there, but the republicans will be occupied with something more important to them than jobs.
Not sure where that location would be, but I assume there is a safe location somewhere nearby.
As I think about it, wouldn't it be more effective to give such a speech at a different location, perhaps even outside the Beltway?
There's a new baseball stadium, just a few blocks south of the House. He could throw up a couple of cheesy greek columns, hand out some tofu arugla to the neighbors... the place would be packed.
Would just need an announcer to proclaim... 'And it's strike 3.... You're FIRED! ! !
Oh, I don't think so. Boehner's letter says differently......unless you have a link backing that up?
I had a tweet from NBC's Kelly O, indicating Reid sources telling her that Reid said any day is fine with him. It was about a hour ago when the tweet came out. If you are requesting a link to when a President's request for joint session was turned down, kind of hard to find a link to something that has not occurred.
Since when was a GOP primary debate more important than a highly anticipated job creation speech by our president?
The GOP debate will be the same as the others. Low taxes, Big empire, Invade Iran, Anti abortion and same sex marriage.
Really? This is what you're going with? "Highly anticipated" by whom, exactly? You? One event had been scheduled for months but they should toss that aside for yet another Obama speech that could only be delivered on that *very* day? Who are you trying to convince, your fellow liberals? Because you sure as hell aren't convincing anybody else.
If Mr Hussein's speech were so important then he could give tomorrow. I am sure his handlers have fed it into the teleprompter by now.
After the speech, the GOP response should be "That's nice, but I think we will wait until a real president is elected.".
Errr, House on vacation til next Weds.
