We've only heard talk and do not know if this is true but it certainly must be, given Obama's shabby and insulting treatment of the Speaker in fiscal cliff negotiations. The latest reports from the Wall Street Journal and other sources indicate Obama has threatened Boehner and republicans with a throw-down public humiliation during Inaugural and SOTU addresses, unless Obama gets his way.
Why would the Speaker invite the President (which is only done by recent tradition since the age of TV, iirc) into his house to allow him to soil his hosts ?
To do so is tantamount to surrender. The Speaker should publicly refuse use of House Chambers and let Obama work out the details. I'm sure the networks will happily accommodate him.
Petty behavior from Boehner ? Back at ya'. Not in my House

Why havent the military fullfilled its oath to protect the Constitution yet?””
Is there another way to remove a crime boss from power? None that I know of. The military is obligated to remove tyrants from power.

Obie uses the SOTU as a bash-his-opponents forum, anyway, whether
conservatives, republicans or SC justices. I say; no more, not in our houseIf 0'Butthugger wants to by-pass Congress by issuing numerous OE...
then deny him (the ultimate grandstand) SOTU forum...as their proper response

Not a bad idea, but Boehner had better be able to explain to the media exactly why he is doing it - very loudly and consistently.
