Boehner Considers Nixing SOTU in Chambers
Self | 12/24/12 | Vanity

Posted on 12/24/2012 3:01:37 AM PST by chiller

We've only heard talk and do not know if this is true but it certainly must be, given Obama's shabby and insulting treatment of the Speaker in fiscal cliff negotiations. The latest reports from the Wall Street Journal and other sources indicate Obama has threatened Boehner and republicans with a throw-down public humiliation during Inaugural and SOTU addresses, unless Obama gets his way.

Why would the Speaker invite the President (which is only done by recent tradition since the age of TV, iirc) into his house to allow him to soil his hosts ?

To do so is tantamount to surrender. The Speaker should publicly refuse use of House Chambers and let Obama work out the details. I'm sure the networks will happily accommodate him.

Petty behavior from Boehner ? Back at ya'. Not in my House

Who cares what the Kenyan maggot says, Idi Amin used the media to slam his opponents too. I’ve never listened to this sniveling tyrant more than 15 seconds. . Don’t give him a forum. Turn off the TV.

Also correct. Any change in recent custom sends a message that Obie’s act is not welcome. Diss him, as he has dissed the constitution

You should ask a moderator to correct your title—it gives Boehner far too much credit.

From your mouth to God’s ears. I’ve not seen one SOTU or inaugural address.

It doesn't matter how polite, nice, cordial, accommodating, friendly, earnest, sincere and overly coddling republicans are to Obama and the dems, these liberals are going to be nasty prix and liars. This is what they do and have always done.

This is why republicans are just downright dumbasses because they will sacrifice principle and what is right for what they think is recognition and honor, when dems will just hammer them anyway!

I considered the title carefully but will bet its come to mind. Boehner left town almost immediately after these reported insults at negotiations. “Screw you” seemed the sentiment.

I will never believe Boehner hasn’t “considered” this expected invitation, given their sorry relationship

They should allow him to speak, then turn their backs to him when he tries to blame them as threatened.

You have absolutely nothing to base that on—your title should reflect your guess or suspicion not make a baseless claim that sounds like an actual report.

I would go ahead with the SOTU, and if and when he starts bad mouthing Republicans have a walkout.

All Republicans just get up and walk out.Turn your backs on him, and walk out.Call the Kenyans bluff.

Obama appears to believe he can run the country without the House, and so far he is doing it.

In 1991 Gorby went on vacation where he was then put on the USSR’s version of a no fly list and that was it, a half hearted effort at reactionary collectivism by some drunken generals and poof it all collapsed. So Barry Sotero is dropped off in exile in my least favorite state (I say give back most to the Hawaiins the ingrate racists) bring back Airforce 1 fumigate it and move on from there.

I think they should all start chanting “You Lie! You Lie! You Lie!” Joe Wilson redux. BTW - they owe Joe an apology .... he was absolutely spot on.

Just turn off TOTUS.

Show him to be the mindless fool that he is when he’s not reading from TOTUS.

Only thing I want to know is:

Why haven’t the military fullfilled its oath to protect the Constitution yet?

You need Obama and his kohorts under swift prosecution.

I just want a real American in our White House to repeal everything Obama has done to our country.

Unfortunately that will NEVER happen. We are now outnumbered. We were gradually conquered by a generation of Socialist youth created in our education system, and an army of deviants and alien invaders that amassed under the standard of tolerance and diversity. America is DEAD. As soon as the best tools of resistance ("assault weapons") are removed from us the transformation will be complete with no hope of ever resuscitating the Constitution. I did not think I would actually witness the death of America but I did and it's a sad thing.

You are correct.
Article III, Section 3 of The United States Constitution states, “He shall from time to time give to Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend such Measures as he sall judge necessary and expedieny; he may, on extrodinary Occasions, convene both houses, or either of them, ...”
Don’t believe that SotU is an extrodinary occasion although Harry would more than welcome Zero to the Senate.

"I no longer care where the communist was born, just when we can send him back there and start repairing the massive damage to what used to be a free country. Once he can no longer harm us, our children, and our grandchildren, I don't care if he hides in Kenya, Indonesia, Hawaii, or Chicago. I just want a real American in our White House to repeal everything Obama has done to our country. "

The A-hole in the WH is only the very tip of the iceberg. There are 60 million immoral “takers” who will only look to the next communist POTUS POS in 2016 to give them their just deserves spoils from the Makers! I doubt Clinton will be the nominee - Probably another non-whitey so they can appeal to their racist core.

I see no reason to host this graceless ingrate. He has shown no respect for the congress so why should they invite this lying thief to come in and spike the football in their faces?

(Supposedly members behind the coup don’t have the brass / won’t try it if they keep the voice vote

If they can't stand up to Boehner, what chance will they have against Pelosi/Reid/Obama?
