Boehner finally accepts reality.

[madamesilverspurs]

According to MSNBC, anyway, Boehner says that there will be no Republican rebuttal to the President's speech because Americans would rather watch football.

Well, Mr. Boehner, given the vituperative mendacity that generally informs your party's rebuttals, Americans would rather watch football. Or reruns of the old Gong Show. . .

Top Republican urges no boycott of Obama speech

(AFP) – 5 hours ago

>>WASHINGTON — US House Speaker John Boehner urged fellow Republicans not to boycott President Barack Obama's jobs speech on Thursday and said he hoped for "common ground" with the White House on boosting the economy.

"He is the president of the United States, and I believe that all members ought to be here," said Boehner. "As an institution, the president's coming at our invitation. We ought to be respectful, and we ought to welcome him.">>

<<"In my case, I'm going to be looking for where's the common ground, what is it that we can agree on. We know that the two parties aren't going to agree on everything. But the American people want us to find common ground," he said.

And Boehner also highlighted that House of Representatives Republicans had invited more than a dozen business leaders to highlight efforts to roll back government labor and environmental regulations they say smother jobs.

Boehner described them as "people with real-world experience about how the regulations that are coming out of this administration are impeding their ability to grow their business and to create jobs."

Yeah, right.

Boner knows a boycott would make them look like the obstructionist asshats they really are. And it would be exposed to a large tv audience.

Pre-Cisely, azmouse! Boner's not entirely stupid. He knows he has to keep those asswipes in line long enough to show up for the President's Speech.

Joe Walsh has already shown he's not man enough to take it.

If Mr. Boehner was so worried, he would have let the President give his speech at the requested day and hour so EVERYONE could go watch NFL. Only the repubs and teabaggers would waste their time watching the repub debate, rather the "We Have Nothing to Offer But We Hate Obama" rally.

[jaxx]

It's too late Boehner, the teabaggers have already got the press for saying they won't go to the speech. Including DeMint, Vitter, Walsh, Broun and whoever else I can't remember. He should have stopped it when Walsh went wild.

The people know and this is just covering his ass again.

[Arkana]

They don't need one. Boehner knows the media will do his job for him far more effectively than any of those hunchbacked, drooling morons they call "Presidential candidates".
