Edited on Wed Aug-31-11 09:20 PM by RetroLounge
Unless Boehner changes his mind, in which case Obama will change it to whatever day is requested by Republicans.

2. The President
should have ignored the rules, kicked down the doors of Congress and addressed them, invited or not!

Imagine if Boehner's classlessness had dragged the President into a fight over a date controlled by the House.

It would have been interesting to watch the criticisms of that episode a week before the speech: He lost focus!!!! What the hell is doing? Doesn't he know when to pick his battles!!!

The President isn't going to be petty for theater. He's about to give a jobs speech and that's far more important than Boehner hissyfit.

5. Hmmm?
"I find it humorous.....Boner kicked Obama's ass once again."

Why is Boehner so much more powerful than all the President's detractors combined?

He gets results, they throw spitballs from the sidelines, and are getting more and more desperate it seems.

9. Hmmm?
"Then why did he pick Wednesday?"

It's called a request.

Damn, it's a date. The meltdown over a date is hilarious.

In this scenario, did he plan on them agreeing to the date or not?

Hmmmm?

18. So
"He hoped they would agree, but was willing to change if Boehner asked him nicely.

...you're saying he planned it this way?

Is that you're idea of "thinking"?

7. Is snarkiness its own reward?
Such antics belie why you'll never really accomplish much politically.

13. Snarking on low post counts? How 'senior' of you!
You have no idea who's behind a screen handle. A high post count isn't indicative of anything except...being able to make time to post here.
