If I were Boehner, I would take the opportunity to tell Obama to find another forum to speak at on Thursday and just send us a written copy of your plan.
“If I were Boehner, I would take the opportunity to tell Obama to find another forum to speak at on Thursday and just send us a written copy of your plan.”
You are on to something here. Maybe what Boehner should do is issue a comment along the lines of:
“Mr. President, we are all anxiously awaiting your comments, but we are also very concerned about the violent and confrontational tone that Mr. Hoffa and others have brought to the national debate recently. As you are likely aware, in New York there was a large amount of violence over the past weekend, and we in Congress are concerned about the possibility of inciting violence through irresponsible rhetoric. Before making your address to Congress, we are asking you to join our leadership in condemning these divisive remarks. I invite you to join me on the podium to do this prior to making your remarks on our crucial unemployment problems.”
I just posted something similar on an other thread about his coming speech. If he begins making comments derisive of the GOP, Boehner should interrupt the speech and direct the Sergeant at arms to remove the piece of garbage from the lecturn and send his ass cartwheeling down Penn Ave.
What do you bet that Obama has a long list of union and racist thugs sitting in the gallery at the jobs rehash this Thursday.
