But if they accept Boehner’s suggestion of Thursday night, they will find the president pitted against a ratings behemoth much tougher to overwhelm than any candidates’ debate—the kickoff of the NFL season, with the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers taking on the New Orleans Saints at 8:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast on NBC.

Typical Tenant, and I hate to think of that OUR HOUSE looks like now.
I agree, the clown speaks at 7pm, I think,
Everyone needs to read the article. Boehner didn’t say go up against Football, but just slying recommended Thursday as a better day:
“Noting that the House will not be in session on Wednesday until 6:30 p.m., Boehner argued there just isn’t enough time to have the president in as a guest at 8 p.m. “With the significant amount of time—typically more than three hours—that is required to allow for a security sweep of the House chamber before receiving a president,” wrote Boehner, “it is my recommendation that your address be held on the following evening, when we can ensure there will be no parliamentary or logistical impediments that might detract from your remarks.””
Not even Obama’s OWN PEEPS are going to swith over from the NFL for another empty rhetoric campaign speech.
BRILLIANT!!!!
Reminds me of the scene in the “B” movie “Used Cars,” where Iggy and Squiggy cut into a Jimmy Carter speech on TV to run a sleazy car commercial.
BOYCOTT!!!
Okay Boehner: +1
It was begrudgingly, but you did deserve it. ;^)
"Dear POTUS, Must let you know we're booked on that night with a previous engagement. Shouldn't be a problem since your staff has already told everyone what you plan to say. Hope to catch up with you some other time though. Have a great day. John Boehner
P.S. We're not gonna raise taxes.
No respect........

That’s amazing! Can you do a modified one with the Monty Python Silly Walk skit?

“Tuesday at 2am would be good for a Slobama speech.”
Obama would be sloshed. IF they could wake him up from sleeping it off.
Heck, he had to take another vacation first. For all the good his "jobs plan" will do, he can wait until the 12th of Never.
I agree - that is really funny - didn’t know Boehner had it in him!!
Obama just continues to make himself look like a complete ninny.
” ...My suggestion: push the debate back until the end of Obama’s speech....”
My suggestion is push the speech back until January 21, 2013. That way, he can drone on all he wants. Nobody will be listening then.
There isn't any gd speech that will change things unless he intends to "kill Obamacare". It would be a game changer!!
Get some guts for God’s sake. All Boehner has to do is say no dice, and mean it, and Obama will have to reschedule.
