I disagree. Congress does not come back from the August recess until 6:30 PM. Obama wants to speak at 8 PM. There is no logistical time for security and procedural reasons to comply with the President’s request.

This should have been hashed out in private. Obama gets what he deserves. Now he is truly backed in a corner.

Whoa! Whoa! WHOA!!!

I didn't disagree with Boehner's asking for a delay until Thursday. That's perfectly in order -- as you note.

But I did disagree with FSE's notion that Boehner should refuse to allow a joint session altogether.
