President Obama and Speaker Boehner have agreed that the President will address a joint session of the Congress next Thursday, not Wednesday during the long scheduled Republican Presidential Debate. The Wednesday request for a Joint Session was nothing more than a blatant attempt to flex his presidential muscle. I am pleased that the Speaker said nope, that just don’t work for me. It was the first time in the history of our country that a speaker has rejected such a request. Thank you Speaker Boehner, you did the right thing.
This extraordinary abuse exceeds all prior levels of contempt and disrespect for the coordinate and equal branches of government. To his credit, House Speaker John Boehner responded, politely to be sure, with a firm suggestion that the President would be welcome on a different schedule.
I am confident that Speaker Boehner will take a lot of grief from the press but that is ok by me, the people see this episode in our history for what it is, an arrogant president who has withered in size.

Chicago politics still at play. This was a rude ploy, and I am glad the speaker did not let O flex his muscle.
Big hugs, honey...
Sandy said it well.
And ditto with the hugs too:)
Hope you and Bee have a good Thursday.
Why am I not suprised he would try such a thing?
We shall be seeing more obituaries like the one you posted!
He's tanking and tanking rapidly. I wish no one to fail in government, but I'll sure be happy to see this guy leave. What a joke. He talks and talks and talks and doesn't say a thing. Okay, most politicians can be faulted for the same thing. We need some leaders and we need them now.
Have a terrific day Sarge. Big hug to you both. :)
But now he is on the night of the NFL season opener. I say bugger to that too!!
Big Hugs,
Bobbi
Sigh. If it ain't one thing it's another.
I know that politics have always been ugly but when they start being this ugly??
Keep on talkin', Sarge. Too many folks remain silent when they disagree or disapprove.
