Sean Hannity mentioned this prime-time address was announced a few minutes ago.
The AP confirms with a one sentence story at the source link.
Oddly enough, I usually don't like that tattooed 50's housewife look, but I think it looks alright on her. If she didn't have that punker/rockabilly style, I think she would look a little harsh.
I’m afraid you’re right. Boehner didn’t seem too happy with what the senate rammed down his throat. In fact, I thought he was going to cry.

Classic, I laughed so hard I cried!
I checked CNN & FoxNews online and saw nothing live.
GOP ignored even by 24hr news channels and Obama gets free air time tonight on the networks?
Shocking! /s
He will be scapegoat hunting with his bus.
They can’t make up their minds...
Dem Claims Debt Crisis ‘Manufactured’ by GOP...
http://www.ibabuzz.com/politics/files/2008/07/lee-book-cover.jpg
Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) released a statement Monday saying the debt crisis has been manufactured by House Republicans who are attempting to advance an extremist agenda.
The current, so-called debt crisis has been completely manufactured by House Republicans attempting to advance an extremist agenda. This should be a simple vote to allow the US Treasury to fund all of the programs and obligations of the entire federal government that are already in the law, said Rep. Lee in a statement handed out to reporters before a Democratic press conference on jobs at the Capitol.
Rep. Lee has called for Congress to increase the debt limit with no strings attached like spending cuts.
Enough is enough, she said. We should immediately pass a clean bill to raise the debt ceiling so that we can work on the real crisis in this country the jobs crisis.

Danielle scares me.
Today he spoke to the La Raza nation about our problems. The way I view it, that is simply an enemy of this nation speaking to a group of enemies of this nation.
Plain and simple.

“Those like me (him) who can afford to give a little more”
“infrastructure”
50 bonus points if he mentions corporate jets, or Sasha or Malia, as in he could have spent more time with his kids if the mean ol’ republicans didn’t tie up his schedule
He will announce that HE is going to Raise the Debt Ceiling with the authority that the Constitution gives Him.
Thank You and Good Night
That would be the most blatantly unconstitutional thing Obama has done yet.
Under the Constitution, in Article I, Section 8, only the Congress may borrow money on the credit of the United States. The President does not have the legal power to authorize the issuance of treasury bonds.
The 14th amendment does not change this:
"The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."
Since only Congress can legally authorize debt, the issuance of debt by the President without authorization of Congress is an illegal act.
If the government runs out of money to pay the debt, that does not mean the debt is not "valid." The debt continues to represent a valid claim against the government, even if the government does not pay it when due.
If Obama tries this route, they had BETTER impeach him.
Dear Barb,
You guys have worked on “jobs” for almost 3 years now... thanks but no thanks.
Congress should just go home for 6 months and the American people will sort it out.
Ah, jeez! Not again!
Will someone explain if they are real CUTS or just reductions in the Rate of INCREASE
