The President will speak before the football game.

[trumad]

If this goes as planned... he will speak on all the Networks before the game--- a game by the way that will be played by the last two Super Bowl winners and will be highly watched.....

At first I thought it was a huge blunder thinking that he would be speaking during the game----NOW--- it looks to be perfect timing.

Let's just hope he does a Franklin Roosevelt type speech and comes out with guns a Blazin.

That would make it a perfect night of Television viewing. MHO

[WI_DEM]

1. He should then speak right up to the time of kick off so the GOP can't

get to reply.

[trumad]

2. It's perfect...

Hell--- I won't be watching the talking heads... I'll be watching Rodgers and Bree's.

[Shagbark Hickory]

3. Franklin Roosevelt type speech??? Yeah. Don't hold your breath.

:rofl:

[trumad]

4. I said hope...

[Shagbark Hickory]

12. I ran out of that a long time ago. You must be very hope-efficient.

[Scurrilous]

5. He should end his speech with the shout...

"Are you ready for some football!"


:hide:

[Wait Wut]

11. LOL!!!

But...the Bears aren't playin', otherwise he probably would! GO BEARS!!! :party:

[disillusioned73]

17. Go Bears!!!

:toast:

[WinkyDink]

6. If he uses terms referring to a vague future or an "I'm going to encourage Congress" or "training",

he's toast.

[Romulox]

7. LOL. He's going to ask for tax cuts and "free trade" with Korea.

It doesn't matter what time he announces this anemic "jobs plan"--the thing is political kryptonite before it has ever been formally announced.

[doc03]

8. +1

[ixion]

19. yep, spot on.

unfortunately. We need a strong jobs plan, not more of the same giveaways to large corporations.

[closeupready]

9. FDR type speech - lol Yeah, like that's going to happen.

:rofl: No offense, I just honestly find, almost three years into this milquetoast, "bipartisan" administration underwhelming, and hopes for an FDR change kind of silly.

On the other hand, I never say never, so I join you in your hopes for a real change in rhetoric - followed by action.

[Greybnk48]

10. Thank goodness and how perfect.

I'll modify a previous statement I made in another thread. I know an entire State that will be watching the Prez.! (Wisconsin) Almost everyone watches the Pack. I too hope he lets 'er rip, "with guns a blazin'" as you say.

13. Klein: Expect Obama Speech to Yield No Action

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-09-01/expect-obama-s-jobs-speech-to-yield-lots-of-talk-no-action-ezra-klein.html

’ve stopped pretending that the president’s jobs speech scheduled for next week is going to matter. I’m tired of speculating about what it will contain and whether its proposals will be big or small, bold or timid.

Here is what will actually happen: President Barack Obama will give a speech. It will include a mixture of ideas the administration has pushed for some time (extending the payroll tax cut, investing in infrastructure, passing trade agreements) and some modest new additions (a tax cut for companies that hire new workers, for example). Relatively few people will tune in to the speech; of those who do, most will be either committed Obama supporters or equally committed detractors.

Congressional Republicans will be among those paying attention. The fantasy version of their role can be found in Aaron Sorkin dramas and liberal op-ed columns, in which Obama’s rhetoric stirs the hearts of some while his rallying of the people inspires fear in the others. Republicans then agree to meet with Obama and work out a compromise plan. In some versions of the fantasy, the result is a big compromise that includes deficit reduction and revenue-raising tax reform. At some point in the drama, a weaselly political adviser warns his boss that voting for the deal could cost him his job. “So what?” the boss snarls. “It’s better to be an ex-congressman than an irresponsible congressman.”

15. Agreed

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

14. Very smart! Holding it during that time is genius! He will be addressing the

constituency that he needs to win back. By then, everyone would have forgotten that sham of a Rethug debate that took place.

[WinkyDink]

18. Bwah! They'll be getting their Buffalo wings and beer ready!

[Coyote_Bandit]

16. Ummmm......

So what?

Some of us don't care much what he says because he has shown on several occasions that his words are not trustworthy and reliable. We can skim a transcript in far less time.

We pay little attention to what he says. Instead we judge him by what he does.
