7. The Obama administration had already talked to Boehner's office
Edited on Sun Sep-04-11 12:24 AM by Tx4obama
and Boehner had NO objections to the Sept 7th date for the speech. It was only after Obama sent the request letter that Boehner changed his mind.
So, the blame does not belong at the feet of the Obama staff.
And anytime an invitation is sent to a 'group' of people (such as the NASCAR folks) there is always a chance that not all folks will be able to show up. That is also NOT the blame of the 'staff'.
A while back Meryl Streep was invited to the White House to receive a medal/honor - she had to decline the invite do to filming overseas. There wasn't a huge outrage in the media.
When folks do not show up it is not the fault of The President or his staff.
