Uh oh, first the President unemployment speech was stepping on potential Republican nominee’s toes, now Obama’s got the NFL by the tail.
Boehner, R-Ohio, balked at the president’s original request to appear before Congress to discuss the nation’s chronic unemployment problem on Wednesday, Sept. 7. That’s the same day as a Republican presidential debate in Simi Valley, Calif.
Obama agreed to move his speech to Thursday, Sept. 8, which happens to coincide with the opening game of the NFL regular season, a prime time contest between the New Orleans Saints and the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers from Lambeau Field.
How about we move it up to Tuesday? I suppose no matter what happens — there’s going to be an issue here.
