A few days back, I said Obama would cancel....Of course he’ll have a good reason...like Michelle wants him to wag the dog....I mean walk the dog...
To: glorgau
Cripes! It's a joint session of Congress addressed by the President of the United States. Why in the world would he be doing it unless it were tremendously important? Supposedly, there is no higher drama. I hope they boo him and walk out the minute Obama starts the partisan blaming and excuse making. It's a campaign speech with a captive audience and worldwide coverage. It would be very disrespectful if he wastes everyone's time and doesn't have anything worthwhile to say.

So basically Barry is wasting the time of the Joint houses of Congress and the American public.

In other words he doesn’t have a plan but will make it up as he goes.

The downplay is directly related to the Solyndra debacle and no longer being able to push the legitimacy of 'green jobs'.
The fact that they're now framing this as part of a larger 'role out' is simply to get his future campaigning stops paid for by taxpayers.

Obama pivots to divots on jobs.

In other words, all those trial balloons regarding what he “might” say were met with a “not more of this crap” response.

According to Politico, Obama will also challenge the 12-member congressional supercommittee during Thursdays speech to exceed their $1.5 trillion budget savings goal, but wont present his own promised very specific deficit recommendations until afterward"Leading from behind, again!" obamma is dismal failure as a president! I would rather have Carter any day over this spineless president.

Given that the WH has already announced that unemployment will remain high for some years to come, Obama could save everyone a lot of time if his "speech" consisted of saying this: "I got nothin'!"
It would be the first honest word (or words) out of his mouth! EVER!!!

That’s exactly how they play it. Non of them have political principals that can be overtly stated without HUGE public disapproval.

Even if he did, it would still somehow take him 40 minutes and he’d get in a swipe at Republicans, Tea Party members, and ATM machines.

Zero will read Packers - Saints football score updates off the telemprompter to the assembled officials. That he will probably qualify as first inning scores.
