Congress sets a return date and time more than a month ago? Too bad!
Republicans schedule a prime time presidential debate months ago? Too bad!
NFL starts next Thursday? Can't talk then, sorry I'm going to be in the White House theater with my celebrity friends stuffing my face with popcorn!
Thank you for your excellent comments. Your response was spot-on!
