I am hoping he is also hosting them immediately following ‘the speech’ for a night of football watching.

A few days ago, I heard on the radio a story about a man in Texas who owns a number of fast food restaurants, most of them serving Mexican food.

He has over 1000 people on payroll for all these prox 100 locations.

He has had his lawyers & accountants look into what NObamacare will cost him & it instantly adds more than $1 million a month to his payroll/overhead costs.

He cannot add these kinds of costs to his product & doesn’t know how he can keep his restaurants open.

Boehner’s been doing real well lately.

He has no choice. His performance with the debt-ceiling was mediocre at best.

Rock Katschnig is a corn and soybean farmer of 32 years from Prophetstown, IL. Hurt by a stream of harmful federal regulations, Katschnig appealed to President Obama at an Atkinson, IL town hall last month, pleading, “Please don’t challenge us with more rules and regulations from Washington D.C. that hinder us.” The president replied, “Don’t always believe what you hear.” Despite President Obama’s statement, one proposed regulation on “particulate matter” (dust) would devastate Katschnig’s industry and destroy many farming jobs. The obstacles encountered by Mr. Katschnig are on the list of “Top 10 Job-Destroying Regulations” identified in Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s (R-VA) August 29 memo outlining the legislative agenda for the remainder of the year.

This guy, following Barry's instructions that day, went to the USDA website to get his question answered since whatever he was told was wrong. No one at the USDA could help him after an exhaustive web search, phone calls, etc. Well, it turned out that Mr. Katcshig SHOULD believe what he heard since he was RIGHT, and Barry was WRONG (shocking, I know).

Congress should send the Obama 2012 campaign a bill for use of the building.

This is a brilliant chop-busting move.

Along with the no-official-retort tactic, and the comment about the public wanting to watch NFL, rather than some effeminate socialist blathering into a teleprompter and getting wee-weed up on cue.

Good Lord, I hope not. THAT was beyond pathetic.

Obama's jobs picture (unemployment) is moving in the WRONG direction.
He must be getting desperate.

I think Jim DeMint invited the president of Gibson Guitars as his guest.

Jeffrey Immelt, chairman of GE and head of the president’s jobs council, tops the list of invited guests who will listen to Mr. Obama’s speech from the first lady’s box in the House chamber.

Mr. Immelt has been criticized for GE’s plan to move the headquarters of its x-ray business to Beijing; Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, Ohio Democrat, has even called on him to resign from his presidential post promoting U.S. jobs.

He will be joined in the box by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who raised the ire of neighbors earlier this year by erecting a security wall around the mayor’s mansion. A local ordinance prohibits fences that exceed 42 inches in height.

Among the other guests in the box will be AFL-CIO President Richard L. Trumka, America Online founder Steve Case, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, a teacher, a nurse, and several small business owners.

Trumka’s Union Take Hostages at Port, He’s Obama’s Guest of Honor at Jobs Speech

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2011/09/obama-brings-guests-to-jobs-speech/1#ixzz1XOjLoR25

The White House has announced that nearly two-dozen guests will sit with first lady Michelle Obama to watch President Obama deliver his jobs speech to a joint session of Congress.

The list of business, labor, and political leaders includes GE chairman Jeffrey Immelt, AOL co-founder Steve Case, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka; and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, will also have guests in the gallery: “More than a dozen private-sector job creators,” according to a statement from his office.
