9 p.m. ET, all across the dial. A Politico contributor kinda sorta predicted this morning that he’d call this presser, although she urged him to pound the table and demand a clean debt-ceiling bill now that the apocalypse is almost upon us. No dice there: The One will endorse Reid’s plan instead, which helps him marginally with his campaign by giving him a talking point about how he’s “tough on spending” or whatever. But do expect plenty of table-pounding as he tries to somehow (a) be the cool, composed “adult in the room” who won’t resort to cheap political ploys like everyone else while (b) doing his level best to freak out the markets tomorrow by warning of the End Times if these damned Republicans don’t hurry up and cave already and (c) studiously ignoring the fact that we could have avoided the End Times already if he cared more about doing that than about his own reelection. Further to that last point, while we wait, watch McConnell’s floor speech from earlier today embedded below (via Breitbart TV). Boehner’s going to speak after Obama is done — which the White House, unsurprisingly, isn’t happy about. Hopefully he’ll repeat these two minutes verbatim.

Full title: Obama to patiently explain why everyone is unreasonable except him, and maybe also cause a market panic
Hoping that Boehner snaps and calls out Obama and explains to the world why our President is a lying thug.
Today, Brit Hume said Obama needed to speak tonight because he was beginning to look like, “a potted plant” in the process.
Obama to give “Snakes of the Mind.” address.
A PREDICTION: Do not be surprised if the DEAR LEADER BEPLN does not declare that in spite of what the Republicans and George Bush are up to that the SocSec, Medicare, et al, checks, 80 million of them are going to go out per schedule, due to his efforts and great intellect. The MSM will go beserk with this and pee on both legs in adoration of their GREAT ONE.
We need an election now, not in Nov 2012 or a bolt of lightning on the golf course to get rid of this ignoramous, community organizer from Chicago.
"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens." - George Washington (Farewell Address)
His humility:
"Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend." - (Same Address)
And, even more:
"In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old and affectionate friend, I dare not hope they will make the strong and lasting impression I could wish; that they will control the usual current of the passions, or prevent our nation from running the course which has hitherto marked the destiny of nations. But, if I may even flatter myself that they may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good; that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism; this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude for your welfare, by which they have been dictated.
How far in the discharge of my official duties I have been guided by the principles which have been delineated, the public records and other evidences of my conduct must witness to you and to the world. To myself, the assurance of my own conscience is, that I have at least believed myself to be guided by them."
All he has to do is state that our President is a lying thug. While I have a lot of respect for Boehner, I don't expect him to play Psychologist and explain why our President acts like he does.
Other than that, I'm completely with you!
This is an attempt to recover face from his hissy fit disaster last Friday.. You know when he was stood up at the alter..
I want ten minutes in the pool on how late he will be.
He'll be at his sanctimonious, arrogant finest.
He will desperately push for a deal that goes past the election. He does NOT want to be arguing for a higher national debt and against a balanced budget amendment during the election campaign.
Looks like he’s trying to scare the markets.
Pray for America
He just said that “A little credit card debt is manageable”. Yeah, great advice from the President.
He is such a liar.
I think Boehner just did that.
He's a Strangling Fig that will end up killing it's host.
Didn’t bother watching. I don’t like folks lying to me.
