Obama: GOP Childish, Jobs Speech More Important Than Debate

Wednesday, August 31, 2011


By Douglas V. Gibbs



King Obama has once again placed himself higher than anyone else, including the protocol of working out a mutually agreeable date and time before making any public announcement. The time scheduled for Obama's speech conflicts with a two hour GOP 2012 primary debate in California at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, scheduled for 8 p.m. on Sept. 7. Speaker Boehner has asked the White House to reschedule, as the date for the debate was chosen long before Obama decided to use the same night for his speech.



The White House is calling the request to change the night of Obama's speech "childish," and are unwilling to cooperate.



Seems to be a trend, here.



Obama's administration is slamming Speaker Boehner for "rejecting" Obama's choice of date, calling Boehner's reaction "childish behavior" that is "truly historic."



Everyone else is supposed to jump around Obama's schedule. He has no interest in doing the same for others.


The White House has insisted the timing was coincidental - as if we are to believe they had no idea when the debate was going to be.



The administration has also indicated that they would "welcome" a decision by debate hosts to "adjust the timing of their debate so that it didn't conflict." The White House has given no indication that they plan to budge.



Press Secretary Carney downplayed the debate.



Of course. They are under the false presumption that the election is a mere formality, and that ruler Obama will remain on the throne.



Carney then compared the GOP Debate to the "wildlife channel or the cooking channel" in its importance, saying that there would be no change, the White House would "carry forward" with its planned speech regardless of "whatever the competing opportunities on television are."



Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus called it a "thinly-veiled political ploy."



Andrea Saul, spokeswoman for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, said in a statement that viewers will have a choice between "Republican candidates talking about the future of America, or Barack Obama talking about the future of his presidency."



If Obama wants to compete with the GOP Debate, I think he will be in for a rude awakening. The voters see through his illusion, and recognize Barry is what he was from the beginning, a campaigner who likes the camera, likes his teleprompter, and thinks he is the smartest guy in the room. . . when he is always the biggest idiot in the room (well, the biggest idiot, or the staunchest Marxist. . . depending).
