Sen. Jim DeMint vowed Wednesday to try to block President Barack Obama from addressing a joint session of Congress on the same day as a Republican presidential debate next week.
Obama could learn something from the GOP, DeMint reasoned, in adding his voice — and his vote — to a growing chorus of Republican objections.
“The president should pick another night. I’m planning to watch the Republican primary debate … and the president should watch it, too,”
The iconic South Carolina conservative said. “If he has a jobs proposal, put it in writing, give us a cost estimate, and send it over. I want to read the bill, not listen to talking points off a TelePrompter. If he insists on playing politics by picking the night of the GOP debate, I will object to the session.”

You know, if you crossed a teleprompter with a helicopter, you could have a Telecopter.
The POSUS could read it as it flew around the room.
No “canned applause” at a White House televised speech. He needs his buddies in the Democrat machine to applaud on cue.
She's absolutely right. His media flacks will try to blame the GOP but they had this date scheduled long before Obama did. This is just a cheap stunt that looks cowardly.
This President is so weak at this point, only John McLame would support him.
I just heard on the radio news that Obama is going to speak Thursday night.
*snicker* I love it when he gets knocked down
thx
well, it seems to me that if none of the GOP members of either House show up, he’ll be giving a “joint house” speech to a bunch of democrats. :o) I can LIKE that...
He’s not gonna like that title lol!
Isn’t that the truth.
You just have to wonder how pompous this ass is going to make himself look like. His popularity is already dropping like a rock. Even your own team has to admit to themselves that he tried to bully the other side here, trying to get them to reschedule a debate that had been planned for months. This silly. It’s sophomoric. It’s juvenile.
He looks as if he’s trying to indicate, “I am the king, and everyone must obey.”
It doesn’t get much more pathetic than this.
“Waaaa. Is anyone looking? Waaaa. How about if I roll on the floor kicking and screaming? Is anyone looking? Waaaa.”
L O L
Ged ouda here...
It will be a real hoot watching people looking at their palms with an earphone in their ear.
There better give a tone que for when they should stand and clap, or this guy is going to get one of the coldest responses on record.
Because no one would listen. Precisely!
Obama:
Lady and Gentleman, thanks to both of you for showing up this evening. I understand there are 14 people watching the networks too, and I do appreciate your attention.
It has been brought to my attention that here is a shortage of hand jobs in this nation. Right now I’d like to roll out my ten point plan. First of all, ladies... er. Just a moment.
Aide:
No Mr. President, they want you to give them a hand finding jobs.
Obama:
I’m am sorry, but a matter of national security has been related to me, and I must go to the White House at once, to wait for a very important 3:00am call.
Good night, and may All... er God bless America.
What do you get when you cross a teleprompter with Timex and a prick?
That’s right, another untimely Obama address.
Obama 2012 Campaign - shovel ready.
The reply was: No hat.
LOL.
[He’s going to say the GOP is putting party ahead of the country. We’ll see if America is dumb enough to fall for it]
I think Obama will have a hard time selling that line coming off a 10 day vacation. Why didn’t he give this “urgent” address last week? Or 2 weeks ago? Why does it have to be the night of the GOP debate? Nope, don’t think he can sell it.
The arrogant POS didn’t think that the GOP would object and they called his bluff.
DeMint already had one - more so than most of you little whiners here in the FR peanut gallery.
SLAM!
