1. The President is not King. He may speak to a Joint Session of Congress at THEIR pleasure, not his.
2. The White House knows this and knew exactly what they were doing when the booked Bam-Bam the same day and at the exact hour the loooong scheduled GOP debate was being held. If the WH did NOT know this they should be fired for incompetence.
3. This speech is nothing more than A-roll for a 2012 campaign commercial. That’s (partly) why Speaker Boehner rebuffed Bam-Bam with the BRILLIANTLY crafted letter suggesting he speak on opening night of football season instead. For that ALONE, I will always have a warm place in my heart for the gentleman from Ohio.
4. GUARANTEED there will be NOTHING NEW in it. Say it with me: “NOTHING.” Heck, let’s spell it: N-O-T-H-I-N-G. You can’t COUNT how NOTHING new-ish this speech will be. There are no negative numbers low enough. NONE.
5. I’m offended as an American that the current occupant of the WH cheapens his office by calling a Joint Session for this happy horseh*t.
