FUBO!

[left that other site]

I respect Boehner for that.

[dead]

My guess is that Team Obama knew this was the likely outcome. They childishly hope to make hay with this by claiming the Republicans are not willing to work together.

Still, Boehner did the right thing. Let Obama play this lame hand.

Like congress and the American people really needed to hear Obama read his same old list of tired platitudes and goofy cliches yet again.

To Paraphrase Howard Cosell: “DOWN goes Obama...DOWN goes Obama!”

What??? MSNBC was going to snub their Messiah?? I don’t find that credible.

One of these days we’ll have an adult in the White House.

Out of all the days Obamer picked this day?

He’s too cute by half.

The night before would have been better. The candidates could have added their own rebuttals to Øbama’s plans to the debate.

Still, kudos to the Speaker.

O'Bummer now back tracking!

[Clock King]

To be honest, I don’t see how Boehner could have chosen any other path. You don’t screw over your own people and party for the Opposition.

[blam]

Excellent! Excellent!! Excellent!

In your face you POS!!!

“Boehner rejects Obama’s request to address Congress”

The RAT response will be “Only a racist would do something like that”.

Allowing NBC to host a republican debate?

Madness. The idiots deserve what they get.

Don’t cave Boehner... there is no way they will accept Thursday night, obummer knows he can’t go up against a football game. Two things will happen, Boehmer caves, obummer changes it to a night when he won’t have to compete with football. I never watch oblahblah anyway and I do not think I am the only one that never watches him, but for the few that can’t resist watching him if nothing else is on, he will lose them also to the football game.

Now he’s caught between a rock and a hard place and he looks like an idiot, unless crybaby caves. If Boehner caves, the Republicans should refuse to move the date of the debate and tell MSNBC to stuff it and go elsewhere.

[Churchillspirit]

Good for you, Mr Speaker!

[metmom]

Good for him!!!!

It’s time to put him in his place.

[shoff]

Waah those mean Republicans didn’t want to hear me repeat last year’s speech on jobs. Waah they don’t want to fix the problems Bush caused. Waah I’m gonna do the speech anyway the American people know I am important and Al Gore promised to televise it on his station.

[Tzimisce]

Media tantrum in 3...2...1...

[unixfox]

BITCH SLAP!

[SampleMan]

Good, but a flat “NO” would have been even better.

[DoughtyOne]

We’ll see how long Boehner’s testicles hold up. In the past they’ve shriveled up by D-Day.

Obama should just address a joint, and consider it a victory.

[ctdonath2]

It’s not a rejection, it’s an acceptance with the reminder that the Obama is a guest who must observe the obligations and hospitality preparations of a gracious host.
