He’s definitely smoking something, that’s for sure.

Dear John A. Boehner

Tell obama no.
And offer him a date of your choice.

Most sincerely,

A. Voter

One of the many things I’ve always liked about FR is the standard of decorum, which includes a ban on profanity. Sorry to be a prig, but I’d hate to see this forum go down the slippery slope and end up a sewer like DU. That’s why I’m flagging your post.

I figured it out. Obama wants to declare “War on Unemployment” the same way that LBJ declared “War on Poverty.”

Hmmm... I think I recognize that opera....

"Oh...we'll turn those red states blue,
For our Ship of State's a beauty
We're not sober men, or true
And George Soros pays our duty..."

H.M.S. Americorps, right?

Seems to me that “convene” means “call into session.” I don’t see anything that says he must be allowed to speak.

To wit:

“I have heard a consistent message: Washington needs to put aside politics and start making decisions based on what is best for our country and not what is best for each of our parties in order to grow the economy and create jobs. We must answer this call.

“Therefore, I respectfully request you facilitate interrupting the lawful and proper exercise of the 1st Amendment by my political adversaries so I may waggle my finger at them, mesmerize swing voters, and improve my chances of re-election.”

Reschedule the debate and give NBC the finger — they’ve been his worst enablers for 5 years.

General George Washington’s Order Against Profanity

The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice hitherto little known in our American Army is growing into fashion. He hopes that the officers will, by example as well as influence, endeavor to check it and that both they and the men will reflect that we can little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our army if we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this it is a vice so mean and low without any temptation that every man of sense and character detests and despises it.

Profanity: How small minds try to speak with strength?

He's playing games. Boehner should reject it on Sept 5th.

I'll save you the time and effort

Present-ident 0: “Jobs are important, we would have more jobs if those evil tea partiers and GOPPERS weren't stopping me from doing what I want. I want to spend more money we don't have to do a bunch of things that will do nothing but help me hang on to MY job in Nov 2012. Tell Congress to hurry up and send me a bill.”.
