Speaker Boehner to Host Private-Sector Job Creators in House Gallery for President Obama’s Address Speaker’s Guests Include More than a Dozen Job Creators Who Have Run Into Government Barriers in Their Efforts to Create New American Jobs
WASHINGTON, DC (Sep 8) House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today announced he will host more than a dozen private-sector job creators in the House gallery during President Obama’s address to a Joint Session of Congress tonight. Chief Deputy Whip Peter Roskam (R-IL) recruited these job creators as part of Republicans’ effort to reach out to American employers being hampered by excessive regulations from Washington, along with House GOP Conference Secretary John Carter (R-TX) and Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). Following is a brief look at each of the Speaker’s guests:

I am hoping he is also hosting them immediately following ‘the speech’ for a night of football watching.
It seems like the media is spoon feeding “”””
The Liberal biased media.......
A few days ago, I heard on the radio a story about a man in Texas who owns a number of fast food restaurants, most of them serving Mexican food.
He has over 1000 people on payroll for all these prox 100 locations.
He has had his lawyers & accountants look into what NObamacare will cost him & it instantly adds more than $1 million a month to his payroll/overhead costs.
He cannot add these kinds of costs to his product & doesn’t know how he can keep his restaurants open.
He has no choice. His performance with the debt-ceiling was mediocre at best.
This guy, following Barry's instructions that day, went to the USDA website to get his question answered since whatever he was told was wrong. No one at the USDA could help him after an exhaustive web search, phone calls, etc. Well, it turned out that Mr. Katcshig SHOULD believe what he heard since he was RIGHT, and Barry was WRONG (shocking, I know).
Congress should send the Obama 2012 campaign a bill for use of the building.
Along with the no-official-retort tactic, and the comment about the public wanting to watch NFL, rather than some effeminate socialist blathering into a teleprompter and getting wee-weed up on cue.
The CEO of Gibson Guitars IS among the guests.
Good Lord, I hope not. THAT was beyond pathetic.
They should have a well spoken intelligent 13 year old girl give the rubuttal.
It should be obvious that she is using a teleprompter..haha
God bless Speaker Boehner for doing this. GREAT idea.
I think Jim DeMint invited the president of Gibson Guitars as his guest.

Jeffrey Immelt, chairman of GE and head of the president’s jobs council, tops the list of invited guests who will listen to Mr. Obama’s speech from the first lady’s box in the House chamber.
Mr. Immelt has been criticized for GE’s plan to move the headquarters of its x-ray business to Beijing; Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, Ohio Democrat, has even called on him to resign from his presidential post promoting U.S. jobs.
He will be joined in the box by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who raised the ire of neighbors earlier this year by erecting a security wall around the mayor’s mansion. A local ordinance prohibits fences that exceed 42 inches in height.
Among the other guests in the box will be AFL-CIO President Richard L. Trumka, America Online founder Steve Case, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, a teacher, a nurse, and several small business owners.
