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.
Dittos to what you said. Loved the stiff upper lip, calm demeanor, plain common sense. MORE!
Its more than 1 trillion but will end up 1 trillion, I think...I am so confused, ha.
He did good...
Here’s what we got for that spending binge: a massive health care bill that most Americans never asked for. A ‘stimulus’ bill that was more effective in producing material for late-night comedians than it was in producing jobs.
Yes, why extend the Bush tax cuts if you believe they caused the deficit?
Boehner was Presidential.
he is defacto President.
I think Barry knows he loses this round.
He is just practicing his class warfare speech for the general next year.
How unpresidential. Scaring soc security recipients? How low.
We have got to CALL OUR CONGRESS CRITTERS TOMORROW!!!!!
After all, our Dear Leader told us to..HA!
Boehner. He looked great, spoke to the people not at the people and made his point much easier than O.
Yep, he only had to go back to 2007 to see the spending start the exponential climb after Democrats Pelosi and Reid leaderships started, prior to that spending was declining
Sounds like Boehner brought the house down tonight. Going to find a transcript. I had the TV on the baseball game...lol.
GO BOEHNER!! WE GOT YOUR BACK!!
That’s what I’m doing! I’d rather read about it here than listen to him!

Anyone else’s cable company carry the ‘Spenditall’ commercial? Oh my. Even my kids got it.
Now Chuckie Shumer is on. He is lying. - know this. His lips are moving.
eXCELLANT POINTS!
You are right, JB was THE presidential one tonight and in the last few days!
More our guy stated....Loved it!
..Boehner...”The sad truth is that the president wanted a blank check six months ago, and he wants a blank check today. That is just not going to happen.
You see, there is no stalemate in Congress. The House has passed a bill to raise the debt limit with bipartisan support. And this week, while the Senate is struggling to pass a bill filled with phony accounting and Washington gimmicks, we will pass another bill – one that was developed with the support of the bipartisan leadership of the U.S. Senate.
Obviously, I expect that bill can and will pass the Senate, and be sent to the President for his signature. If the President signs it, the ‘crisis’ atmosphere he has created will simply disappear. The debt limit will be raised. Spending will be cut by more than one trillion dollars, and a serious, bipartisan committee of the Congress will begin the hard but necessary work of dealing with the tough challenges our nation faces.
The individuals doing this work will not be outsiders, but elected representatives of the people, doing the job they were elected to do as outlined in the Constitution. Those decisions should be made based on how they will affect people who are struggling to get a job, not how they affect some politician’s chances of getting reelected.
This debate isn’t about President Obama and House Republicans … it isn’t about Congress and the White House … it’s about what’s standing between the American people and the future we seek for ourselves and our families.”
It’s obvious he has been advised to start getting out front with his rebuttals...so he is doing it and doing it very well...I have always stood by Boehner...and am so impressed with him especially tonight....
I was making a reference to what JB referred to dealing with this guy was like: "Like negotiating with Jello" I think was John B's comment last week.
ME tooooo!!!
smiling for the first time in a long time.
