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.

This is all propaganda and the Reps are assisting him. This was an adolescent attempt by the White House to "big foot" the Republican Debate.
Rather than assisting them, Boehner pushed back.
Besides, there is no plan.

Maybe.
But I also think they think they can do what they want...when they want.

Thank-you for spelling his name correctly it looks so DUish no matter how you feel about him when people don’t.

Man!! I'm going to have to do some thinking and read thoughts about this.
Totally unexpected from *Boner*.
There has to be another angle other then him growing a pair.
Go *Boner* for the time being.

After looking at the letter he worte, Boehner did a great job.
Like a child, Obama will probably just do the speech from the Oval Office and demand time from the networks. He will also throw a fit at what Boehner did.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama planned this whole stunt to use this against the Republicans.
It is a power trip on his part to assert control over the House. I am glad Boehner didn’t fall for it.

Frankly...I never thought that guy was a “critter”...and he was EXACTLY RIGHT!

I respect Boehner for that.
To: TSgt
My guess is that Team Obama knew this was the likely outcome. They childishly hope to make hay with this by claiming the Republicans are not willing to work together.
Still, Boehner did the right thing. Let Obama play this lame hand.
Like congress and the American people really needed to hear Obama read his same old list of tired platitudes and goofy cliches yet again.

The 8th - Saints at Packers - only an idiot would go up against this
game (so, I won't rule it out).
OTOH, Carney could give the NFL permission to reschedule the opening game.
