Obama agreed to move his speech to Thursday, Sept. 8, which happens to coincide with the opening game of the NFL regular season, a prime time contest between the New Orleans Saints and the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers from Lambeau Field.

The game will be televised by NBC at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Damn odd how often this guy drags his dick through the dirt, considering he's as brilliant as we are told he is.

Agreeance. He should have effed Boehner and did the speech on Wednesday anyway. Heck with the Tea-tard pandering GOP 'debate'.

Wait, so he is going to give his speech during a New Orelans game? I guess that means Borack Obama doesn't like "black people."

Well, the problem with your "effed Boehner" thing is that he needs Boehner's permission to address a joint session of Congress. He could have done it in the White House on Wednesday without Boehner's permission, but not as a joint session speech. See, these pesky rules, that it appears very few folks know about, keep getting in the way. hard to "eff" Boehner when it's his chamber you are trying to use for your campaign speech...as that's what it was....and Boehner knew it. Plus, they had to pass rules on Wednesday to reopen Congress, and all sorts of administrative stuff...it was stupid in the first place for Obama, and really a lack of protocol on his part, to ask for Wednesday in the first place. If Wednesday was THAT important to him he could have used the White House...obviously a joint session prime time campaign speech was much more important to him than "effing Boehner".

Why are all the libs so afraid of the Tea Party folks? It's not even an organized "party". Funny how a bunch of citizens exercising their constitutional rights can get so many people so upset. Don't recall all the libs complaining about those marches and protests in the 60's and early 70's by all the lefty groups. Why the aghast now about a bunch of citizens trying to get a point about fiscal restraint across to Congress? What are the libs so afraid of?
