It’ll be interesting to see who gets the audience share.

He has put off this speech 2 1/2 years, what's another 24 hours going to hurt?

The WH is blatantly lying, but if the GOP doesn’t make a stink about Obummers phoney campaign speech, no one will care.

Yes ... if they run Obama on some stations and the debate on others.... ha, ha, ha, ha.

Will Obama’s brother-in-law or whoever the illegal drunk driver is be Obama’s only listerer.

Michelle has quite the large extended family, but would even they tune in?

Would anyone think differently from the most transparent administration in history?

Far as I’m concerned, he can schedule it anytime he wants. The sorry ass has nothing to say, so who’s going to tune him in, anyway, except his ‘I-would-vote-for-him-even-if-he-wuz-deceased’ cronies.

What a shameful, POS imposter this creature is. The greatest shame, next to the fact that he was elected in the first place, is that we didn’t throw him out of office before he slapped us the face with his audacious, arrogant, insulting worthlessness; over and over again. He gloats in our lack of courage to do so.

Borrowing a page from McCain ala 2008 when he stole Obamas DNC thunder by adding Palin to the ticket the day after. It was one of a very few brilliant moves his campaign made.

He has "requested" to address a joint session of Congress.
Does the Congress have to comply? What if the House decides they have other business to attend to?
This is an honest question, not trying to be a smart-ass....

The Kenyan will get 20 channels and the debate will be on one. We'll see.

Invite him to speak but insist he answer questions from the floor afterwards.

The country had to wait for his Job Speech until after his vacation. Then when he does set it up he picks the date of the GOP debates. So he was not in a hurry in the first place as his vacation and campaigning/bus tour took priority so he can change his schedule. This is so blatantly obvious that he is playing politics with jobs and really does not give a damn about them.
