Well did you know that the president has to ask to talk to congress ?I didn't know this I said wow>well we know now that appointment is scheduled for Sept 8 the date witch congress in a retreat after a hours long test of wills Wednesday in a letter to Boehner president Barrack Obama agreed to deliver address on jobs and the economy to a joint session of congress yielding to house speaker Johns Boehner also involved was senate majority leader Harry Reid d-nev why can't they get along? You would think that would be a rule or something who had balked at Obama's request For Sept 7 speech Obama's address still gives him a grand stage to unveil his economic agenda but it will compete with the opening game of the national football a conflict the white house wanted to avoid the change now will allow planned Sept 7th republican presidential debate in simi valley, California to proceed without Obama upstaging it Still by seeking a rare joint session of congress as his audience,Obama will get a nationally televised address that puts him face to face with republican lawmakers who have bitterly opposed his agenda and who have vowed to vote down any new spending he might propose It is our responsibility to find bipartisan solutions to help grow our economy and if we willing to put country before party I'm confident we can do just that so what ever the case I hope each looks at what the economy needs.

8 months ago: As is the usual practice Obama contacted both sides of both houses of Congress and was given the OK for a Wed. joint session the day Congress came back. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/jay-carney-pr...

Then Rush Limbaugh came out and said Boehner should not let Obama speak that day because Rush thought it would be a campaign speech. So then Boehner made up some BS story about having votes scheduled at 6:00 that night, and for the 1st time ever Congress refused to honor the request of the President of the United States. http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/s...

I guess Obama's fault was in not getting permission from Rush who, although he is not elected for any office, obviously runs the show on the right.

The Republicans are not looking at what is best for the country. They have blocked 41 jobs bills from the Democrats and have not introduced one of their own. They are intentionally destroying the economy because they think it will make Obama unelectable.
8 months ago: Obama was smacked down, and it was made more apparent Obama is unqualified to be our leader.

Goodness gracious.

You think that America wants to see the NFL game transmission interupted by another - "We would be there already, except for all of the natural disasters and I didn't own the Arab Spring and it's UH, looking like, UH, we night have some, UH, not so good employment, UH, news until you elect my team in 2012" teleprompter reading from the Putz in Chief? Hey Putz in Chief. You had your team in 2008 through 2010 and now your team's laws are taking even a larger toll. Shut up and do a L.B.J.
8 months ago: Amen brother. Do an LBJ.
8 months ago: Do you have to ask for an appointment to speak with the President. I don't know how much longer the Constitutional Seperation of Powers will be in effect. But as of today they are still seperated.
