It’s not Boehner’s fault. If you people would read the news more closely, you’d know that Boehner couldn’t get all the members of Congress in in time for the address. Plus he didn’t schedule the debate. This is all Obama.

Republicans constantly cry about how W got no respect, and yet they cheer Joe Wilson for screaming down a sitting president during a Presidential speech.

That dog just won’t hunt.

After obama care was passed, within 4 months I was laid off, spent 9 months on unemployment. I eventually got a job as a contractor, at the same job with no benefits, or medical vaca.. Just straight hourly rate.. I think everyone would agree that bush was crap, obama is crap now. All politicians are full of poopy, and I am voting for more “change”!

Maybe he’ll announce that a skilled team of NFL fans shot Jamie Dukes in the face.

I just may not vote for Obama because the Republicans get everything they want from him. Can’t vote Republican though. Voter apathy is back again!!!

Congrats Mr President! You’ve accomplished a rare political exacta.

By originally requesting the 7th to deflect attention from the months-prior scheduled GOP debate and having to shift to the 8th when the House Speaker says no…

You look both petty AND weak.

Noticed a trend in these posts…The childish name calling by the Obama supporters.
They need to raise the voting age to 25, since it’s obvious that young people today think, and act like teenagers well into their 20′s.

Carter vs Reagan my dad voted for Carter back then, he say worst vote he had ever made at 18% interest. He told me the other day we learned our lesson in the eighty’s with Carter. I hope y’all learned yours with Obama!

I would have loved to read all the post for this one. I bet they had the delete button taped down on the anti obama post. I wonder if the Lib’s feal it slipping away in 2012 yet! They are about to get hammered!
==================================
What difference is it going to make, genius?

There both bought and paid for by the banking establishment or Military Industrial Complex.

Does it really matter? Libs/Cons are two sides of the same coin.

What you are about to see is how a multi-billion dollar corporation dictates what presidents do and when they can make speeches. It will be interesting to see what excuse he uses for moving his speech. This was obviously the cluelessness of his PR team in evidence and the power of the NFL. I hate the powerful corporatocracy whether they produce sports games, oil pipelines, or mortgage futures, all the same greed to me.

More than a little tired of reading websites where the comments section is filled with political attacks on the opposite party/supporters. Relax, breathe. Come to this site, read about football, talk about football.

Really, we get it. Each side hates the other side – but football is apolitical. Leave the other crap to the right wing/left wing blogs.

Wait…I’ve got a solution. Roll Obama out on the 50 yard line at halftime of the game. Presidential address to congress via remote feed…and live halftime entertainment…nice.

Why there isn’t a [i]Democrat[/i] debate to preempt in an ungentlemanly and self-serving style by now is beyond me.

Wow, once again Obama bends over for the republicans. Should expect that from a democrat, they have no balls at all. The republicans are crazy, and usually gay. At least they have a set.

You must not have been paying attention to the last 4 years of Bush’s presidency. Liberals were calling him Hitler and praying for his assassination. King Obama spends most of his day calling everyone who does not fall into line and agree with his every thought a racist. About time you join the real world and stop feeling sorry for Obama because not all of us are going to blindly follow his big government and pro union agenda.
And Bush sucked too by the way. Stupid big government republican along with a democratic congress filled with people very good at wasting the hard earned money of others are who got us into this mess. King Obama has simply made EVERYTHING worse.

I honestly don’t care so long as the game doesn’t get preempted. I’d watch a Carolina-Bengals game before I watch a politician go on for an hour or so.

I’ll be watching football.

As for politics, I’ll be voting for less government, less wars, less insanity. Ron Paul.

You miss the point. John Boehner is the real weasel here. He’s attempting to make Obama look bad. Boehner … he’s the head weasel in Congress.

As a Packer fan and a Ron Paul supporter, I’m quite conflicted as to what I find worse about Obama:

1) That he is 4 times more of a socialist/big government/Welfare-Stater than Bush Jr. was (in terms of spending/monetary debt increase in just 3 years in office)

2) That he is no less of a Warfare-Stater than Bush Jr. was (e.g., Going all Libya without any congressional approval)

3) That he is a Bears fan.

Given that the pessimist in me says we’ll get much of the same with the next president, regardless of party…that is, unless Constitutional sanity dawns on the American people and Ron Paul miraculously got elected,…..then I’m definitely gonna have to go with #3.
