PLEASE President Obama, PLEASE tell us your staff accidentally picked the 7th date!

[Logical]

Please tell us that a staffer messed up.

Please tell us that they did not know the GOP debate was going on.

Because why else would you pick a fight with the GOP on this and then immediately back down?

Why would you give Boehner a win on this and make him look like he talked you into the next day?

I am totally confused on this.

I look forward to possible explanations for this. Maybe there is some 50 dimensional chess strategy I am missing.

[in_cog_ni_to]

1. Boner agreed to the date and then changed his mind. n/t

[Logical]

3. Then Obama needs to call out Boehner on this!

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. Ya think? He won't though. Gotta always play nice.

:eyes:

[BeyondGeography]

2. Keystone Kops

Unreal.

[ProSense]

4. Oh

the drama.

"Please tell us that a staffer messed up."

Seriously? It's a date, and one within a day of the other!

:rofl:

[Logical]

6. And your laugh icon does not prevent the fact that Obama picked a fight and then got his ass....

handed to him again.

Wow, how can you justify this whole mess?

If he was going to cave on the GOP debate issue when why pick that night?

No logic in this event.

[treestar]

10. I know! The tearful pleas regarding this!

This is the WORST MISTAKE ever made, I tell you! :rofl: :rofl:

[Logical]

11. Just more of the same. If you see leadership in this then you have blinders on.

[treestar]

17. "Leadership" Over a scheduling matter?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

OMG the humanity! A "leader" should be perfect down to the last detail in getting us everything we ever wanted!!

I for one don't look to be led.

You'd flip out if your doctor makes you wait wouldn't you? He can't be a good doctor if your appointment is for 10 and he doesn't see you until 11.

[Logical]

20. Wow, you really have no clue do you? Blinders work great I assume!

[Number23]

25. I know. Dear God, this is so stupid.

[hfojvt]

33. it used to be a date

but Obama stood me up, and now my heart is breaking and I am lonesome tonight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrojFR7jM9E

and if Obama won't come back to me, they can bring the curtain down.

[Cronus Protagonist]

5. You could just accept the truth - Obama's a Republican enabler

...at the very least.

[pscot]

7. 50 dimensional chess?

Parchesi is more like it.

[treestar]

8. Who could possibly care who "wins" this?

Only people obsessed with winning and losing at the expense of substance.

Were you worried about who won the golf match?

[flamingdem]

9. Everyone on the Ed Schultz show say it makes Obama look like the adult, a WIN for Barack nt

[Logical]

13. Hoe did Boehner look bad? He politely asked Obama to move the date and he did.

[itsallhappening]

14. Glad the 157 viewers saw that.

[flamingdem]

16. More than here! Don't you enjoy liberal media? nt

[Ikonoklast]

15. Mr. Obama made Boner look like a petty fool.

That date was chosen on purpose, he played Boner like a cheap fiddle.

[Logical]

19. LOL....yes, Boehner getting EXACTLY what he wanted really made him look like a fool!

[Ikonoklast]

23. The why did Boner first agree to it with the White House?

Only to cave after Limbaugh went ballistic?

Who was the one waffling?

[Logical]

24. Would you rather waffle and win or waffle and lose? We waffled and lost!

[Abq_Sarah]

21. It the date was chosen on purpose

Because the President wanted his address to run at the same time as the repub Presidential debate, Boner isn't the one who looks like a petty fool.

[Ikonoklast]

26. So, when Obama plays political hardball like so many here have been screaming for him to do,

he's a 'petty fool'.

No matter WHAT this president does, it will be wrong.

Gotcha.

[Abq_Sarah]

29. That's not hardball, that's petty

Regardless of who is President, Dem or repub, that's a childish act that deserves a spanking from the opposition party.

[Ikonoklast]

30. You realize that the seventh is the first day back from recess

If you accept that as fact, maybe you should also realize that the day chosen to address Congress by the White House may have been made two weeks before the Republcan Teabaggers decided to throw Festivus Clownium II on the seventh, and that is why Boner agreed to it previously?b

[Abq_Sarah]

32. They screwed up

They thought they'd make the repubs look bad and they fucked it up and ended up looking stupid instead.

[Bluenorthwest]

18. He wins Miss Congeniality easily

But is that the actual contest being played? Most Gracious Gent in the Beltway?

[bluestateguy]

27. Well then, Ed Shultz just needs to go under the bus

I mean he IS from a red state and he IS a (gasp) GUN OWNER!

:sarcasm:

[geek tragedy]

22. To look reasonable while ginning up controversy.

People will watch the Republican shitshow on the 7th and then watch his much more reasonable proposal on the 8th.

[jaxx]

28. What if he did it to piss you off?

Looks successful.

[lonestarnot]

31. Two things are disputed. One he did contact privately for confirmation of the date and

two Bohner answered publically the first response.
