Congress “invites” the new president to speak. Bush spoke in 2000.

Meant to say that Bush spoke in 2001 right after the inauguration.

"Anyone care to place a wager on who gets the better ratings on any Monday night??...

The One or 24..??"

I think he's in for a rude awakening when he see's his tv share. A good percentage of people who voted for him couldn't care less about politics or what's going on right now. They didn't have a clue about his policies or how liberal he is.

They knew 2 things. He's black (half at least) and he's going to give them things. Thats it. Thats all they need to know and I don't think they'll be watching on Monday.

Fidel and Chavez have also spent a lot of time on TV. Chavez has his own show, doesn’t he?

Expect the same from this idiot, it’s the public’s airwaves ya know!

I am sick of theis turd foisting himself incessantly on the American public.

As each day goes by, I despise him more and more, and get sicker listening to his lies and propaganda.

Bush was never odious and a browbeater like this facist.

I'll have a Duke movie playing.

There is no way that I'll watch the boy child preen on tv and then have some pundit perform a double lewinsky with a half gainer on him in prime time.

If he pre-empts House, or 24, I will really be ticked off.

My thoughts exactly.

Good. Being forced to surrender profitable prime time hours merely because the new emperor wants them? Hey Hollywood, welcome to the world of socialism that you helped bring about.

Oh, I hope he does -- repeatedly. I hope he preempts every popular TV show out there, repeatedly.

Then, and only then, will people realize what they've done by putting this idol in office.

Pray for oversaturation.

I don't think I can watch the Monday speech, either. I have something more important to do, like cleaning out old emails from my in box.

Our duty is to boycott the TV news. Give them low ratings. That is the only way to damage them.

Well, that's a good argument. I suppose it's worth missing the good shows to have the American people ready to boot him out of office.

A republican representative should get an equal amount of air time to rebut or put forth the republican position, just like the democrats did when Bush gave any kind of speech on the air.

Judging from what I've been seeing over the last few years, the "republican" position differs little from that of the commies other than they want to do it a little slower.

In essence, the democrats want to microwave the frog, while the republicans want to slowly bring it to a boil. Either way, we're cooked.

Bush’s 2001 speech was officially called a “budget message.”

GHW Bush’s 1989 speech and Clinton’s 1993 speech were called “administrative goals” speeches.
