It all seemed like such a trivial matter when on Wednesday, House Republicans forced the president to delay his speech, most likely a retread of past speeches, to a joint session of Congress by just one day. So who cares, you may ask? Well, apparently the White House cares, and very much. “It is a big deal that the House said ‘no’ to the president from our end,” so said a White House source, on Thursday, who supposedly possessed intimate knowledge of what took place between the House and the president. “This confirms what we all know: They will do anything in the House to muck us up.” Now isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Anyway, on Wednesday, while the White House staff didn't know exactly what Barry "Almighty" was going to be saying in what is being billed as yet another major jobs speech, it knew exactly where and when he was going to say it. The location would be before a joint session of Congress in the "august marble-clad chamber" of the House of Representatives. And the speech would be next Wednesday night, when the House returned from vacation, and there would be, they hoped, maximum TV viewership. I can't help but wonder what Barry could possibly say in this much ballyhooed speech that he hasn't already said on any number of other occasions, and would it really rise to the level of being read from a teleprompter before a joint session of Congress?
According to the White House, the speech would be dignified, sober and important. That's how Barry describes all of his speeches. But unfortunately for Barry "Almighty," depending on your point of view, the planning for this momentous event, turned out to be a mess, with, of course, the claim being made later that it had become a mess because of just how hyper-partisan politics has become on Capitol Hill at exactly the time Barry is calling for bipartisanship. Look, let's call this whole little scenario exactly what it was, a narcissistic Barry "Almighty" doing nothing more than playing politics at the expense of the American people, millions of whom currently find themselves without a job because of the policies that this president and his leftist party have put into place. The singular reason for his requesting Wednesday night was because he was out to upstage those very individuals now vying to be his opponent in the next election. And, oh by the way, just how is that Barry and his fellow sleazy Democrats define "bipartisanship" anyway? I'll tell ya how. It means that in order to be considered as behaving in a bipartisan manner the Republicans must be forced to abandon all of their principles as well as the demands of their constituents and to be made to kowtow to the Democrats. That, my friends, is how Democrats define "bipartisanship." The other side must always be forced to capitulate, that's just how Democrats play the game. And when the Republicans resist Democrat demands they are then referred to as being obstructionist.
What should be considered as being painfully obvious here is the fact that the White House was very well aware that what will most likely prove to be yet one more of Barry's idiotic and empty "jobs speeches," would conflict with a planned Republican debate which had been scheduled for months, and is sponsored by POLITICO and NBC to be held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif. The debate would be broadcast live by MSNBC and live-streamed by POLITICO. CNBC and Telemundo will re-air the broadcast. So being his normal arrogant self, Barry simply did not see this trivial event as being all that much of an obstacle. “With all due respect, the POLITICO-MSNBC debate was one that was going on a cable station,” so said some moronic, and he who shall remain nameless, White House source. “It was not sacrosanct. We knew they would push it back and then there would be a GOP debate totally trashing the president. So it wasn’t all an upside for us.” Is this now the Whine House instead of the White House, get me a break here. How about these people start acting like adults instead of a bunch of spoiled brats? Whenever this bunch of juvenile delinquents don't get their way they throw a tantrum, and that goes for Barry as well. They work to disparage the opposition in all manner possible and then have the nerve to complain when they get stood up to.
And, at first, at least according to the White House, things seemed to all fall into place. At about 10 or 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, White House chief of staff, and one of Barry's fellow Chicago thug politicians, Bill Daley called House Speaker John Boehner and asked that a joint session of Congress be assembled the following Wednesday night. Supposedly the White House views Boehner as a political opponent, but not an enemy and the call was cordial, even pro forma considering such a request had never before been refused. And, again, according to some "highly trustworthy" White House source, Boehner is supposed to have said "okay" to Daley’s request for the Wednesday evening date. (Asked for comment, Boehner’s press secretary, Brendan Buck, said he had nothing to add to his statement of Wednesday that read in part: “No one in the speakers office - not the speaker, not any staff - signed off on the date the White House announced today.”) So again, we're simply just supposed to take at face value the word of this den of thieves, tax cheats and thugs known as the Barry White House, as gospel. Sorry, it just ain't happenin. These people lie about absolutely everything, so why is it that they should expect us to believe their version of events this time around?
Then, as we now know, things seemed to quickly unravel. Because as it turned out not everyone was as sanguine as what the White house would later claim that Boehner was regarding the notion that a Democratic president was going to step on a Republican debate. At 11:55 a.m. Wednesday, the White House tweeted the news about the joint session. “And then Rush Limbaugh beat Boehner up,” the White House source complained. Look, Rush did nothing more than to call this "jobs speech" exactly what it was, “This is a pure campaign speech and to give it the imprimatur of a speech before a joint session of Congress, there’s no way, he doesn’t deserve that,” Limbaugh said. “Boehner’s got to say no. Now, whether he will, I have no clue.” A number of Republicans in the House and a few in the Senate, however, did have a clue and they told Boehner that while they would allow the joint session, the timing had to be on their terms, which meant it could not conflict with the Republican debate. At which point, theoretically, Boehner’s office then announced that Boehner had never agreed to the Wednesday date, that Congress did not get back into session until 6:30 p.m. on that day, that various votes had to be taken, that security had to be arranged and Barry should push his speech back a day to Thursday. Which just so happened to be the evening the Green Bay Packers were meeting the New Orleans Saints in the NFL season opener. Which meant Barry would have to move his speech up an hour or so before the kick-off at 8:30 p.m.
So in the end the Barry White House was far from pleased. In reality, it believed, Congress really had never gone out of session, a parliamentary move that blocked Barry from making recess appointments. “And they had to arrange security?” the whiny White House source scoffed. “As if they couldn’t do that! This was a political thing, a Tea Party thing, a Rush Limbaugh thing. They were all giving Boehner gas.” Again with the Tea Party, what it is with these imbeciles? The White House did not want to give in and look weak, but what was the alternative? An Oval office speech instead? “You can’t speak for 40 minutes from the Oval Office,” the same source said. Why not? How about the East Room? “He’s going to speak to an empty East Room with just the Teleprompters and staff there? No,” complained the source So it had to be in the House of Representatives, which the Republicans control. “But we couldn’t go if they didn’t let us come,” the source said. “You can’t hold the speech in the lobby or in the parking lot. And you’re not going to get network coverage if you hold it at George Mason University." With this same source adding, “After a month of world chaos, the setting had to match the topic. And you don’t get any better setting than a joint session of Congress.” In the end, the White House felt it had no choice but to give in on the date, and Barry sent a whiny email to his whiny supporters with the subject line: “Frustrated.” “It’s been a long time since Congress was focused on what the American people need them to be focused on,” Barry said in the email. “I know that you’re frustrated by that. I am, too.” Quick, somebody grab him some tissues. Damn crybaby!
Obama said he is going to put forward “a set of bipartisan proposals to help grow the economy and create jobs” and he is “asking lawmakers to look past short-term politics and take action on that plan.” Some Democrats were attacking Barry for once again “caving in” to those mean old Republicans, though others, acting a bit more adult than the White House, thought that it was an inconsequential matter. However, the White House is viewing it as very consequential, as it does with everything that is always perceived as somehow being personal. “It is a big deal,” the source said. “It shows the House Republicans will do no outreach, nothing.” Why should the Republicans reach their hand out to this hack when every time they do so all that happens is that they get their hand bitten off? And who is it that the White House believes was really behind this dastardly deed of treating the president so shabbily? “At first, I didn’t think it was Boehner, but his caucus,” the same source said. “But maybe not. Maybe it is him." Personally, and this is just me talking, I don't give a rat's behind who it was or who it wasn't. I'm just glad that Barry was told to go pack sand. Screw him, he may thinks he's king, but he's not. And you know what, if this was something that Nancy "The Botox Queen" Pelosi had done when Bush was president, all of these pathetic whiners, now squealing like stuck pigs, would be laughing there collective ass off. So let's get real here. What Barry has to do is to just suck it up and deal with it and quit his habitual crying like a damn baby. For a guy whose 50 years old he has a tendency to act much more like somebody who's around the age of 5. Hey Barry, it's time to grow up!
