Sen. Jim DeMint vowed Wednesday to try to block President Barack Obama from addressing a joint session of Congress on the same day as a Republican presidential debate next week.
Obama could learn something from the GOP, DeMint reasoned, in adding his voice — and his vote — to a growing chorus of Republican objections.
“The president should pick another night. I’m planning to watch the Republican primary debate … and the president should watch it, too,”
The iconic South Carolina conservative said. “If he has a jobs proposal, put it in writing, give us a cost estimate, and send it over. I want to read the bill, not listen to talking points off a TelePrompter. If he insists on playing politics by picking the night of the GOP debate, I will object to the session.”

I hope someone stands up and shouts “you lie!” and this time Republicans clap instead of acting like whipped puppy dogs.
Hey I like that. Now I’ve got to find a new place to post it so folks won’t know you came up with it. :^)
That’s a good one too.
He’s not King - why do you give him that title?
Good one. Thanks for sharing.
I was waiting for that. Can I steal that pic?
I hear Obama will now speak the following night, and I’m thinking maybe his advisors realized it would look bad for Obama, when tv ratings showed that Americans were watching the GOP debate, rather than Obama.
Absolutely!
Thank you Senator DeMint!
Let that clown go on PBS the following day.
I hope almost everyone else boycotts it too.
Not the GOP, only DeMint and he is an outcast to the leadership.
Let’s see who gets the higher ratings, Zer0’s pie in the sky speech or the Packers hosting the Saints on NBC.
Go Packers!
Because he acts like a King. What’s your glitch?
Instead of a Joe Wilson yelling out "You lie!" there should be at least one yelling, "Go Packers!" with a Iphone in hand and a earphone in their ear. LOL!
You obviously see him as a king to say that. I see him as a commie doing what he can to bring down USA. As usual, we see things differently and no one w/a lick of patriotism would give him that title.
Only beginning. Spines are made of multiple segments, each independently formed, and only fused from the Limbo-sacral junction through the coccyx. The rest must be flexible to absorb shock and permit bending.
Yes, it’s refreshing for a change, I just hope they keep it up.
I wish DeMint would run for President with West as VP.
