Stay classy, Marxist.
So, let’s get this straight: So perfunctory is Obama’s groundbreaking “jobs” speech that he didn’t feel the need to cut short his vacation to the Vineyard — lobster and golf and yachting and wine parties being necessary markers for setting the parameters of who counts as a legitimate member of the leadership class and what hickish bits of flyover country trash, with their elk burgers and light beer, simply don’t. Priorities, you see.
Yet suddenly, the speech is so urgent that it simply must happen on the same night as the GOP debate? And, per Jay Carney, we’re to believe this scheduling was a complete coincidence, and has nothing to do either with politics or Obama’s unbounded narcissism?
Uh huh.
Here’s what we’re in for: calls for an infrastructure bank, the extension of unemployment benefits, a reform of the patent process, aid for teachers, job training programs for the long-term unemployed (who will also get an extension of benefits), more green jobs, payroll tax relief, blah blah blah.
In short, nothing new. Just another thumb in the eye of those Americans who Obama doesn’t even pretend to represent.
Civil War is coming. Brace yourselves.
A Joint Session for his third annual “This Time I’m All About Jobs” speech? Can’t we just watch it in rerun?
Thanks, Pablo. Linked in the post.
Heard just now in a radio news break (not kidding): “Carney says the organizers are free to reschedule their debate.”
Our “high class” sophomore.
I’ll bet Obama had his hand thrust in his coat when he decided on the date
Caulksoakers Of the World Unite! You have nothing to loose but your applicators!
besides the dirty socialist propaganda whores at NBC and Politico the only people what really need this debate is Romney and maybe a few deluded also-rans
So Obie was only intending to do them a favor!
If he calls for more green jobs “investment,” I’ll give $100 to anyone in the chamber who shouts Solyndra!
Limbaugh was saying today that Boehner should tell Obama to stuff it — offering him the several dates on the days leading up to and after the debate.
The thinger there in the link does say that it requires a “joint resolution” of Congress, hence, I take it, a vote. So, without a firm knowledge of the procedures, I suppose it could be that members have an action of their own to impose on the proceedings apart from the privileges of the Speaker.
Eh. I ain’t watchin’ either.
He is a dick. Boehner should tell him to go stuff it.
Such an asshole.
Great. Here’s what they should do.
Have their little joint session of Congress. Then hold the GOP debate immediately following, right on the floor of the House. Or on the steps of the Capitol.
Oh, give the sad little man his cheap shot.
Then have Rubio rebut and stomp him like a rabid weasel.
Why does he need both houses of freakin congress to announce anything? He’s a giant socialist douche.
If we’re lucky, both houses will raise their right hands and give him the O! symbol, vigorously.
What if they gave a joint session of Congress for Obama and nobody came?
Then the TV coverage would be just on him with no pans of the audience and with canned applause added.
Ha! Geoff got there before I could, but the following hasn’t been altered a bit:
C-Span’s camera would likely be banned from panning the chamber and required to remain focused solely on Obama at the podium?
And here I thought C-SPAN’s ratings couldn’t get any lower.
If I could conceive of a way to have this jabbering asswhipe speaking in front of a television every moment of the day from now till the election I’d do it. He shrinks more every time he opens his piehole.
I see it for what it is – marching orders to the press to browbeat the GOP for holding its debate on the scheduled date if they don’t move it. You can’t really appreciate it for what it is if you don’t understand that he knows what his allies will do in his service.
mr abe you might get your wish because that’s about all baracky is “good” at.
to bad both events couldn’t happen at the same time to see who got better ratings
Alec is exactly right. Barcky knows that the MFM will frame this as the Republicans bing the bad guys and playing politics, despite it being quite obvious that is what Teh One is doing.
Joint-Session Request: Boehner Recommends Moving It a Night
Boehner’s response in pdf: the short of it?
Look at it this way: POTUS needs the time to lay out more compelling job-creation engines like this.

Boehner tells him how about Thursday Sparky? Should have offered 9AM Eastern.
15 minutes late and a dollar short again.

As HotAir notes, “Your move, champ”.
I don’t suppose Carney explained why a mutually agreeable date wasn’t arrived at with the Speaker and Leader?

Obama is a very small man.
I just had a friend on Facebook decide the President needs to see the Godfather, particularly the scene with Tessio requesting Michael guarantee his safety. In this moron’s scenario, Boehner is Tessio and the Tea Party is Barzini.
When someone brought up that the Pres put his speech on the same night as a previously scheduled debate, he got PISSED, mentioned that Boehner would be the first speaker to refuse a President’s request for a joint session, complained that Boehner had not returned Obambi’s call during the debt debate, and then asked “What is this? Dred Scott?”
These people exist and vote…
AFS, we shouldn’t be judgmental of people like that. In fact we should make sure they have the opportunity to vote — which for Obama supporters, remember, will be on Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012 to accommodate the thundering hordes of patriotic Americans who will want nothing more than to ensure his safe re-election.
You have told him about this, haven’t you? If not, you’re being a bad friend.
Has the MFM started framing this as the racist Republicans playing politics with the important jobs speech?
levin has heard that baracky will do an oval office speech instead. nothing definite yet.
And that MSNBC will delay coverage of the GOP debate to accommodate the campaign speech. Giving the GOP candidates the opening to respond directly.
Not to mention, Levin says he’ll answer Obama’s speech live, on his show.
I think tomorrow it will be official that Obama goes on as scheduled, and the debate will be delayed. Obama will look even more pathetic as a result.
Or, what Jeff just said.
Well, good then.
Abe, sadly yes.

well the crony capitalism angle says this is good for nbc.
“What do you call pumping 500 large into a collapsed solar panel company?”
Something that will not be mentioned in Obamas job speech for $200 Alex.
I heard another story of a government green job subsidy somewhere involving “greening” houses (can’t remember specifically) that created 11 jobs, most of them administrative, and cost $14 million.
3 houses were “greened.”
The company then went bankrupt. But at least the taxpayers got $14 million worth of environmental protection, spread out over a handful of ranch homes.

(Ya’ll don’t want Tommy as a senator and this might have just knocked him out.)
It was good to see this evening that Krauthammer understands that the Unions understand that the most important political fight next year will be taking place in the State races, where control of State Houses, Senates and Governorships will determine whether the last gasp of the Unionist-Democrat self-perpetuating money machine alliance will fall to sensible reversals of public Union power. For my part, the Obama reelection is nearly defeated already, so our moneys should go to seize the US Senate and the State houses and Governor’s seats. Follow the money chain and progressivism will be over.
I encourage Barcky to do as much prime time speechifying as possible. Except the market tends to drop about 250 points while he is flapping his piehole.

The President is focused on the urgent need to create jobs and grow our economy, so he welcomes the opportunity to address a Joint Session of Congress on Thursday, September 8th and challenge our nation’s leaders to start focusing 100% of their attention on doing whatever they can to help the American people.”
If Barcky ever focuses 100% on jobs, unemployment will go up to 50%. what douchenozzles.

You might win the NFC North. Again, not kidding.
The Titans? Glad you asked.
I’m not sure! We open 9/11 in Jacksonville, against that slippery midget running back Maurice Jones-Drew, without our own mega-star running back Chris Johnson. Or our mega-star Coach Mustache. Or that idiot Quarterback Vince Young, starting with that unknown quarterback Hasselbeck and a Hall of Fame player-Coach. So, I really haven’t a clue what’s going to show up. I’m thinking 3-13, but I’m known for my optimism.
The question to ponder is, is Tebow’s roster spot secure? Oh, and whether or not Peyton Manning can play after having that Franken-neck-bolt removed last April…
“Pusillanimous Iconoclasts“
My Pokes are starting two rookies and a sophomore on the O-line (where the heck is Bob Reed?), and they haven’t got a cornerback worthy the name, so expectations are kind of lowly down Big D way. But the receiving corps looks to be shiny, if Romo has time to get ’em the ball, and can’t help but like the way Felix Jones runs. Maybe they can squeak their way to 9-7 if they find a kicker, but it could just as easily be 7-9.
Packers 11-5.

Geoff, you should buy tickets. You might have a really good team. I’m not kidding.
Ditto what bh said, despite him being a cheese-addled fudge packer.
JD, since Peyton (Herman Munster) Manning can’t start because of that neck-bolt issue, your team has signed ‘retired’ Kerry (Grampa Munster) Collins, a known softy in the pocket, and not one you’ll find winning many games.
How long will the Bolts be in Manning-free perdition, you think?
Since I live over 100 miles from the stadium I’ll settle for watching on TV but I don’t expect much no matter what the pre-season expectations are. They have disappointed me for the last 50 years or so. Last time I could get excited over the Lions they had Night Train Lane and Alex Karras among others but maybe with the “curse” finally gone things will be looking up.
As to the regular topic, Bunnies!!!
