This is pure campaign BS. He is going to counter the republican primary via this “joint session campaign kickoff.”
Hope the Pubbies don’t fall for this.
A crisis requiring the convening of congress should require the man to lay out the situation in its entirety.
That’s like FDR saying, “Dec 7, 1941, a day that will live in infamy. The Japanese....sorry folks...next installment on the campaign trail, later on.”
NBC: Stay Tuned to Learn what the Japanese have Done
ABC: FDR Firm about...Installments of Information
Fox Poll: Installment Approval Rating: (1) Are you eager to read the next installment in a series of magazine stories, (2) Have you ever read an installment in which the president is mentioned? (3) Do you consider different radio stations to be separate installments? (4) Have you ever had new equipment installed in your house?
Agree completely. The Won calls a joint session of Congress to say that he has a bigger picture, but is only going to lay out one part of it? He does take us all for idiots.
