2. I think it's Boner...

he promised something else to Obama during the debt ceiling debate and once Rush got wind of it, it was a total 180 flip-flop.

3. Give 'em head Harry....

4. It's not too late for Hillary to annouce her candidacy

Are you cheered up, yet?

[Jack_Dawson]

5. Sounding pretty good about now...

8. Hillary wouldn't have been able to force The House to vote yes on the resolution either.

The House has to vote to pass a resolution in order to hold the joint session for the speech.
If ya can't get The House to vote yes on the resolution, then there'd be no way for Obama to have access to the room for the speech.

13. Then he should have scheduled a Town Hall Meeting and taken it to the PEOPLE..during the damn debate

But Noooooooooo. We're not going to make things rough for the rethugs. People might miss their stupid fucking debate. G-d forbid he should stand up to them and trump their ass by scheduling his speech on every network!

15. He has access to the Oval Office.

[Tx4obama]

27. Giving a speech from the Oval Office when you are trying to speak TO THE CONGRESS

would not work.

In Obama's speech he will be telling THE CONGRESS what he wants THEM to do.

Nope, The only way to talk to 'The Congress' is to go to The Congress and speak to THEM there.

[former9thward]

28. Anybody in Congress who wants to listen to him has a TV.

This is 2011 not 1811.

10. I'd send her every dime I could.

She was the best candidate in the primaries and she's the best possible president right NOW!

[provis99]

23. good lord. That would be out of the frying pan, into the fire.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

6. Obama has drained me. nt

[Tx4obama]

7. Please tell us how you would get The GOP House to vote yes on the resolution

The House has to vote to pass a resolution in order to hold the joint session for the speech.
If ya can't get The House to vote yes on the resolution, then there'd be no way for Obama to have access to the room for the speech.

[Rageneau]

12. I'd rely on the Constitution.

Section 3 - State of the Union, Convening Congress

He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

[Fla_Democrat]

20. Ok, what's "extraordinary" about the speech?

:shrug:

If that clause is cited... what will be the justification that rises to "extraordinary Occasions"? This isn't a legal question, or even a proper question, but an optics question.

14. You are wrong, Mr. Obama just has to say it to make it so.

But he refuses to ignore the fact that there are two other co-equal branches of government in this country, and that he does not rule by fiat, no matter how badly DUer's want him to.

[obama14]

11. He has too. The Speaker MUST agree with it.

Boner is the speaker of the house. Boner can say no.. fuck off, and there isn't a fucking that Obama can do.

Remember a joint session is a request. Thats it.

[former9thward]

16. He could give the speech anywhere. Boner could not say shit.

[flamingdem]

17. UNREC for superficial announcement, Obama won this one as the only adult in the room nt

[steelmania75]

18. ugh, its all good cop/bad cop between the two parties. time to go third.

[Zax2me]

19. Now it is up against NFL season opener. Just great.

Hell, I'll be watching the game.

[Jack_Dawson]

21. How is September 1st the opening game...

when the BOLTS' opening game is September 13th? Messed up.

[Tx4obama]

26. The speech will be BEFORE the game.

Excerpt:

A White House official says "We won't conflict with football," meaning an early time frame for the speech.
