“I want the GOP response to 0bama’s “jobs” speech to be broadcast from behind the closed chain link fence around Solyndra.”
I admit to shamelessly stealing this idea from Charles Krauthammer; if Boehner weren’t brain-dead, he’d have said “fine, we anxiuosly await the revelation”. THEN moved the Republican debate on Wed. to after the joint session.
Assuming all our candidates are not also brain-dead, we’d have had a couple hours with the whole panel of candidates taking shots at what they just heard. As it is, the Republicans will get a few minutes, one designated sucker (I mean spokesman) after the Obamathon, none of which will be heard as the audience changes channels to the Green Bay NFL opener.
Not to burst your bubble or anything, but Boehner has zero, zilch, nada ability to “move the GOP debate” to after Obama’s speech.
NBC controls the broadcast of the debate. They had already said they were not going to change anything, even after it became clear Obama’s speech conflicted with the debate.
Second in line of interested parties is the Ronald Reagan Library.
Only NBC, and only the RRL secondarily - with an interest but no veto power - are in position to do anything.
