In a move that truly surprised me, House Speaker John Boehner has asked President Obama to delay the date of his proposed speech to a joint session of Congress. Boehner says that with Congress returning from recess on Tuesday, there is not time to prepare fully for a presidential speech the following day. Boehner adds that he could accept the following evening, next Thursday. Good for Boehner!
As most people now know, Obama announced about a month ago that he would have a jobs plan "soon". Now that he has let another month go by with high unemployment, the president is now suddenly going to announce his plan in a speech to Congress. Sadly, Obama has not released any plan; he is just going to give yet another speech (as if that makes a difference). Obama selected for his speech a time that made it conflict with the debate scheduled for the GOP presidential candidates in California. Since that debate has been scheduled for many months, there is no question that the White House was well aware of the timing. Even so, the White House said that the conflict in timing was just a "coincidence", proof that Obama and the Obamacrats will lie about anything and everything.
Well, since Obama is happy to lie about the timing being a coincidence, I see nothing wrong with Boehner telling him to reschedule the speech for the following evening due to timing difficulties. My guess is that the timing difficulties are actually Obama's inappropriate scheduling of the speech to conflict with the debate. It also does not hurt that the date and time suggested by Boehner conflict with the opening game of the NFL season.
I wish we had a government that was not run with such stupid political games going on. Unfortunately, that would require and honorable and honest leader, something we currently lack. Obama has got to go!
