Speaker John Boehner has rejected Obama’s request to address a joint session of Congress on September 7th to discuss his jobs plan. Boehner has asked that Obama consider the following night instead.

According to Politico, Boehner said in a letter to Obama that Sept. 8th would be better “so we can ensure there will be no parliamentary or logistical impediments that might detract from your remarks.”

It is important to note that on September 7, the GOP Presidential candidates will have a debate that is sponsored by NBC and Politico that will air on MSNBC. NBC and Politico announced earlier today that they would air the debate and not show the address to Congress.

The Stupid Party had better grow a pair or they will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in 2012.

Bozo is a sitting President; 2012 is his to lose make no mistakes about this.

I don’t think you understand the amount of viewers that will watch the Saints at Packers over yet another boring teleprompter reading from Adjunct Professor Obama.

Heck the GOP should bring in their laptops and watch the game during the speech. It would be hilarious. At least that way when the Packers score a field goal you could watch the entire GOP stand up with their arms raised and say ITS GOOD! About the only way you would see that at an Obama speech.

The WH is trying to say date was agreed before going public.......now can you really see the GOP agreeing to an address on their debate night, its not really likely is it now? Liar liar pants on fire, i think, Obama always pulls this crap, he did it during the debt, claiming there was a deal and there wasnt.

Boehner should have invited Barry to enter the debate. He could roll out his jobs (stimulous) plan for the other candidates to critique. LOL!!!

It would be the least-watched joint sesson of Congress in history. It probably will be even if it’s on the 7th, because people are simply sicks of this moron Obama’s words,

I have made it a to watch any national address by the President all the way back to Nixon. But I am so sick of hearing the same Bravo Sierra from the SCOAMF that I just don't watch anymore. How many different ways can he say, Bush's fault, tax the rich, not my fault, spend more, blah, blah, blah, blah....

BITCH SLAP!

[SampleMan]

Good, but a flat “NO” would have been even better.

We’ll see how long Boehner’s testicles hold up. In the past they’ve shriveled up by D-Day.

Obama should just address a joint, and consider it a victory.

[ctdonath2]

It’s not a rejection, it’s an acceptance with the reminder that the Obama is a guest who must observe the obligations and hospitality preparations of a gracious host.

Wonder what the new “YOU LIE!!” comment will be this time? I bet would could start a contest to ....err....help them out?

[antivenom]

“You Failed!” will replace “You Lie”!

[LaybackLenny]

Arrrrggghhh, this cretin is costing me even MORE money, since when he comes on my wife automatically switches to QVC!

[4woodenboats]

Why not just invite TOTUS and have that 'critter yell out "You Lie" every minute or so?

Are you suggesting letting him address congress, but only if he agrees to be hooked up to a lie detector with a wall of sound and light that exposes The Poser's lies?

This could take awhile to address all of 'em....maybe we could make a game show out of it...where's The Great Carnac when you need him?

[Graewoulf]

Hey you! Yeah YOU, Professor You Lie! How does it “ feel “ to be officially treated as a lame duck?

I’ll bet you have already called to see if you can get your old job back at the Chicago School of Bureaucratic Socialism! I’ve heard the Mayor has some political pull.

Why not resign now and give The Secretary of Statements Hilly, a chance to get the “ Hilly and Billy Show “ back in The White House?

She already has the silverware.
