Obama has requested address before Jt Session of Cong on Sept. 7 for jobs and economic address.

[sunmars]

just announced, this ought to be good for grandstanding and wagging of the finger at nasty republicans and blame Bush.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Time to eat our peas.

[Jane Long]

So he can resign office?

I like dreamin'.

[Huck]

Nice. I like your vanity post, too. I’ve noticed the same thing. Glad there are others out there trying to maintain the dignity of this forum. Arguments get heated, which is fine. But there is no need for gutter language here. It has it’s place, I guess, but this ain’t the place. Good job.

[Carry_Okie]

He can call for a session, but it doesn't mean everybody has to be there.

What if they were busy? Does he think Michele Bachmann would be there if she's supposed to be in the Republican presidential debate? What if the Republicans would rather watch the Republican debate? That would be understandable, wouldn't it?

What if there was a Marxist call to prayer, and nobody came.

[TSgt]

Obama must be totally scared witless of Perry.

You betcha!

[Solson]

LOL. I’ve been around here since ‘96. Decorum and lack of profanity is a fantasy around here. But I get the flagging. I just think it’s quite humorous to act like it doesn’t exist around here in spades....

[CodeToad]

Just another opportunity for Congress to shout back, “you LIE!”

[newzjunkey]

Article II Section 3 is used to call a recessed or adjourned Congress (or one house of congress) back into session in an emergency, not to hold them hostage for a lecture from TOTUS.

Any other reading would mean Obama could compel congress to adjourn so he can make recess appointments. It would be lawless.

He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.

[ Is he sure he wants to risk another you lie moment?

There will be a lot of evil “tea party” reps in the audience this time. ]

I think instead of yelling “you lie” they should yell “Hillary 2012”. And they should use ventriloquism to yell so they MSM can’t figure out who is saying things.

We should do everything top make the libs who are uncomfortable with Obama feel comfortable with their uncomfort with Obama in public.

[Carry_Okie]

If the Republicans don't show up because of the debate, what is he going to do, call them "partisan"? HE was the one who scheduled the speech at the same time!!! As if that wasn't??? Even the mediots wouldn't buy that one.

NOBODY would buy that charge except such idiot Marxists that they don't matter at all.

[Huck]

The mods have corrected your error. Now go and sin no more.

[BAW]

Call Speaker Boehner and leave him a message at 202-225-0600.

I told the Speaker thatI think it is rude of President Obama to usurp the exact time slot that the Republicans have already scheduled for the debate. I asked SPeaker Boehner to invite the Obama on a different date and time.

[ladyvet]

Just when I think he can't be any more childish....he proves me wrong again.

[mojitojoe]

Exactly right, and if whiner agrees, it once again confirms to me that he has no b*lls.

[tirednvirginia]

MSNBC will probably and gladly cancel the debate so they can carry their beloved leader’s address.

[mwl8787]

No - zero antics from the GOP. They should just sit on their hands. Boehner can look disgusted when BO gets partisan. The American people are getting to know and like Boehner.

As to the debate, tell NBC to reschedule. They, more than any other network, created this crybaby monster, and they can accept the consequences.

If NBC won’t reschedule, cancel altogether.

[WilliamHouston]

Is this America’s next Sputnik moment?

[Obadiah]

Just so we're all clear, here. Obama delayed this "jobs address" throughout the entire month of August just so that he wouldn't interrupt his Martha's Vineyard vacation and now he HAS to speak on Sept 5? Pffft...

[Busywhiskers]

Hopefully this speech will be after the markets close.

[Recovering_Democrat]

John Boehner should tell Hussein to SHOVE IT!
