There are 20 debates, and Obama wanted to get started as soon as they came back from recess. What Boner did has never been done in history, and it was not necessary.
I am a bit tired of hearing that,
Can you give me a list of all the times in history that presidents have made speeches to the full Congress that where not the SOTU? Are you aware that in 8 years in office Bush only addressed Congress once outside of the SOTU speech, and that was in order after 9/11? This will make the second time Obama has done so, and I am pretty sure this will not be a 9/11 speech.
Holy crap.
You talking about Bush and history making?
Seriously?
Are you often the guy that points to a molehill and a mountain and say they are equal?
Look..what Boehner did..and what the Republicans have done were some pretty severe breaches in decorum. They've done this with just about every Democratic President in my lifetime..but this one is ridiculous.
And Boehner is pretty much a flimflam man..but at this point..he's the best you got.
Right now you have a party populated with Elmer Gantry types. It ain't pretty.
Are you even talking in English? Where did I say Bush made history? What I said was that Bush only addressed Congress one time in 8 years outside of the SOTU format. FYI, Clinton only did it once during his 8 years also, so I am pretty sure Bush did not make any history when he did it.
My problem here is that some idiots, you included, seem to think that Congress is obliged to let Obama talk to them whenever he decides to score political points. Believe it or not, that is simply not true. The simple truth is that there are procedures that both sides have to follow in order to keep this kind of shit behind the scenes and out of sight of gullible idiots who think that this is going to hurt the country.
FYI, the White House made any statement which indicated that they had an agreement with Boehner before they asked for the joint session. Protocol, which you are apparently fond of in this case, is that the White House and Congress iron the details out in private before the formal request is made. The reason for that is based on the theory that the three branches of government are equal, something I am sure you are solidly behind when a Republican is president.
FYI, I do not own the Republican party. Do not blame me for anything it, or its membership, does. I just like irritating idiots who think that one party, or the other, is always right. At the moment that attitude is mostly coming from idiots on the left side, such as you, who support the Democrats. That, by the way, makes you responsible for Carson's comments.
