That’s assuming he’s not an hour or so late.

“Give this bozo a decision to make, and he will make the wrong one every time - count on it.”

Except one. UBL is dead, and he made the call to go. It took him 18 hours longer than it should and put people and sources in way more danger than was required, but he did it.

Can’t take that one away from him.

“Obama will reschedule speech at last minute. You may quote me on that.”

I wouldn’t bet against that. Good call.

On or before Dec. 16th, he’ll announce he’s not running for a second term.

If he’s an hour or so late he will lose Wisconsin. I can’t believe they’re playing this game, Obama needs our state to win in 2012.

The comments at the link are hilarious. The best one mentioned NBC just scrolling a live feed of the words from the teleprompter at the bottom of the screen. What a brilliant idea!

NBC will find a way. This is the network of Immelt, Sharpton and Matt “you are a war criminal, Dick Cheney” Lauer.

According to the White House itself, here is the ranking of the three events.

1) GOP debate
2) Saints @ Packers
3) Reruns of any show from the 70's
4) Presidential address to a joint session of Congress

There, fixed it.

Is ESPN doing a pregame? If so, that would be the way to go.

Obama lost Wisconsin a year ago.

This just seals the deal.

That and the lesbian radical Congresswoman the Dems are touting for Herb Kohl’s Senate seat.

If there were anything this islamist liar might say worth hearing, I´d read it in transcript. ´Damned if I´d ever actually listen to him...reading.

I don’t know if his speech will interfere with the Packers game, but I’m sure it will be offensive to the saints.

A local talk radio host said that NBC is promoting this game big time with all kinds of hype. Obama will preempt the pregame programing by finishing his speech just before kickoff. What a mess.

I'm not so sure they'll preempt the pregame programming because advertisers have bought all the spots already & damn sure didn't buy them to promote a political speech.

My sock drawer will be all the envy!

While you are rearranging your sock drawer, TOTUS will be rearranging the deck chairs for his administration.

Obama is sliced, diced, roasted, and served up as garbage in those comments.

Totally enjoyable reading.

UBL is dead, and he made the call to go

Don't give him too much credit for this. Once we had UBL in our sights (thanks to the strategy in place long before The One was anointed), he had no choice but to give the go. He'd have been hounded out of office if he had let UBL slip through our fingers.

All this just means that no one cares what the President has to say. It will be the same ole stuff.

I actually figured he’d give his speech at halftime.
