Ed Schultz On Obama’s Job Speech Date Switch: ‘The President Has Caved’

Video
» 264 comments

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz devoted some time Wednesday evening to, naturally, the kerfuffle between Barack Obama and Speaker John Boehner on the scheduling of the President’s upcoming jobs speech.

“The President has caved,” said Schultz, driving home the notion that the White House’s originally requested date — which just so happened to be the same day as a GOP presidential debate — is part of a high stakes game between Democrats and Republicans. (Or a “childish squabbling pissing match,” if you’re so inclined.) He continued, highlighting several Republicans’ take on Obama and jobs.

“Boehner and the Republicans have been hounding Obama to lay out a jobs plan for months,” he said. “Now the very same people who want President Obama to keep his powder dry so that Rick Perry can have the spotlight to say stupid stuff like this… [Cue audio of Perry's definition of dumb. Hint! It involves Obama.] Michele Bachmann mocked the President about the timing of his speech during a stop in Des Moines, Iowa this afternoon. [Cue some intern being terminated for screwing up the clip.]”

Schultz surmised that moving the date of the speech would make liberals “furious,” while listing instances where Obama and Democrats promoted job growth. Republicans, as he sees it, fought Obama every step of the way, up to and including fighting the scheduling of his jobs speech. “They don’t give a damn,” he announced, “nor do they respect the President of the United States or the office.” What’s more “they don’t give a damn about you working folks” watchin’ Ed on TV.

    democrats always cave, and republicans are assholes

    nothing new here

    if bush wanted to give his speech on the same MINUTE as a democratic
    presidential debate, then the democrats would have said, “by all means, mr. president!”

  • B W

    The GOP Debate at the Reagan Library has been planned for weeks, if not close to 2 months. Obama told America he’d get back to them on jobs after his vacation (which he deserved, by the way). I think it’s only fair to let the GOP have their debate to discuss jobs and the economy, and then, Obama can have his platform uncontested the night after. Of course, the average moron waiting for Football won’t be content, but, that’s too bad. We have more important issues, right now. (And, yes, I’m a huge NFL fan, I’m just not an idiot.)

  • http://thefunemployed.blogspot.com/ rance

    The President has no one to blame but himself.  If he hadn’t acted like a petulant child and requested his joint session on the same night as the GOP debate, thinking this was some super smart “oooooh, burn” move at the Republicans, he wouldn’t be left “caving”. 

    If he had just requested the joint session the day before or the day after, which there is no reason why he couldn’t since that is what they ended up with anyway, he wouldn’t look like a jackass to the GOP and independents and a weakling who caves every time the Republicans sneeze.

    Again, no one to blame but himself.

  • Darladoon

    uh, hate to remind you, but obama CAVED and let boehner have it his way

    i don’t see obama or the democrats whining about anything

    it’s a done deal

  • B W

    You know that’s not true. Bush would never have done something like that, to begin with, and neither would any other President, knowing full well the Debate’s been scheduled over a month ago. Nonetheless, Boehner would have made a mistake to deny Obama his speech since the Speaker’s never done that before in history.

  • Brer Orabbit

    Ed Schultz is a hack; and similarly Obama is a hack.

  • Nancillarypeloslinton

    This just emphasizes Obama’s complete irrelevance in terms of contributing anything important to the betterment of this country. Changing his schedule is important to who again? What a laughing stock and a sad chapter in this country’s history. President Obama*, an asterisk has never been used more appropriately.

    . “They don’t give a damn,” he announced, “nor do they respect the President of the United States or the office.”

    I’d love for Ed Schultz to be saying this same thing when a Republican is in office. He’d be the same nasty SOB he is to the Republican in office as he is to every other Republican out there. Such a hypocritical piece of shit, Schultz is.

    Oohh….a speech from Obama is coming.

    I like Ed.  I have listened to him going back to his day when he was only on radio.  He is impassioned and I like his populace, sincere approach.  But like all of us, we don’t always get it “right.”  And on this one I happen to disagree with Ed.

    I am no mathematician. But I do know the only science that is finite is mathematics.  It is the only tool that can make other sciences finite. With that said you could turn politics into a mathematical equation. Here is one. It is a simple problem. How do you get people to see what the other side offers is failed, insane policies? You promote it so more people watch. And then you counter the next night with sanity.

    Unfortunately, Obama has to deal with opening night of the NFL season. But he can’t do it on Friday for the obvious and he can’t wait until over the weekend that would give ample time for the right wing media machine to finalize their willful deceptive oppositional talking points. However, I think their are quite a few Americans that can record one and watch the other. Even if you don’t like your president you need to hear what he has to say because is presence does effect our lives.

    But the most important thing is for as many Americans to tune into the Republican Party debate on MSNBC so that they can, for themselves, decide what kind of leadership and direction the opposition would take this country in if they got back into power… Instead of relying on slick political advertising and phony propaganda news shows that advertise as “fair and balanced.”

    You disagree with what?  B W had a pretty factual post.  What do you disagree with?

    Did Bush ever plan anything during a Democratic debate?  Hell, for all of Bush’s faults I am pretty sure you cannot find many cases of him acting in an inappropriate way.

    Are you saying that if Bush ever did something with as much douche-baggery as Obama trying to pre-empt the Repub debate the Dems would have just rolled over?  That is just silly if you cannot find an example in 8 years of the ‘idiot’ Bush of him doing something that Obama has done in 3 years.

    It was a stupid-douche move by Obama.  The Repubs gave him an escape though. 

  • Anonymous

    Obama was hoping to make the Repubs look like jerks.  Instead he looked like the jerk.  The Repubs gave Obama an out- they should have let him give his speech and done the debate at the same time.

Note to George Clooney, tell me again about Obama’s genius… Who cares when he gives his inane speech? Take from the makers and give to the takers. We’ve heard it all before. Do us all a favor Obama, take your teleprompter and your juvenile rhetoric and go golfing. It seems to be the only thing you do well—-besides run your big mouth.

    A LOT of REALLY big things

    and he deserved every bit of criticism he got:

    he was stupid, arrogant, started two totally useless trillion dollar wars, spied,
    tortured, and drove the economy off the cliff with egregious tax cuts

    obama wasn’t in office 10 minutes, and the avalanche of hatred was set.

    Did you read what I wrote?  Obama put himself in a position that he later had to “cave” on.  If he had requested any day next week other than the day of the GOP debate, Boehner would have never asked Obama to pick another date.   Every decision Obama makes is a political one…and it almost always backfires on him.

    Like I said, he has no one but himself to blame for having to ‘cave”.

    And as far as Dems whining about it…I’m sure we will get 24-48 hours of “Republicans don’t care about creating jobs.  The President has his super-dooper jobs plan and the mean old, racist Republicans wouldn’t let him speak on the day he requested.  Because they are mean.  And racist”.  You know that’s coming.  But they can whine all they want.  Once again, the President looks weak.

    I agree.  I go between being annoyed with Obama and feeling sorry for him.  He is so in over his head and has no clue what to do that it really is sad to watch.  The guy is just drowning and he is not being served well by his advisors.  He needs to fire them all and start over.  But he doesn’t seem to have enough self-awareness to recognize this is a problem. 

    It is just sad.

  • Bob

    No, Bush would have tried to find a way to tie the speech to Sept. 11th and milk it for all he could. Just like he did in 2004 with the NYC GOP convention.

    Considering that the GOP clown car of candidates debate every other week, it’s absurd to expect the country to shut down for them.

    Still, even though the president caved to Republican poutrage, you expect the rightwing to go on as usual and continue to hysterically accuse him of being an atheist/muslim communist/nazi dictator who won’t work with them.

    He’s a jerk for picking the date to begin with.  He picked that date for political reasons.  There are 4 other days next week he could have chosen.  why that one?  Why…because he thought he it was better and very statesman like to mess with Republicans.  Because that is what all mature, leaders of the free world do. 

    No other president has ever done this kind of stuff.  Even Carter, who was just as bad as Obama, never did childish things like this.

    Because he decided to do a Joint Session of Congress on the same date as the Republican debate.  I do not care that he changed it- he should have.  It was still a douche-bag low-class chump move.  What don’t you get about this?  If Obama thought for a second it would help him (and he must have when he planned this) he would never have agreed to change the date.

    What a smarmy delivery Ed give here.  Ever the anti-intellectual, Schultz believes he can actually put a positive spin on Obama practicing the pettiest of politics when he scheduled his speech on the same day as the Republican debate, long scheduled.  Not a jobs plan released through normal channels, mind you, such as the commerce secretary or some such as you normally expect, but a campaign speech (teleprompters and all) before both houses of congress – as if his request for another stimulus package even as we’re 14 trillion in debt were a constitutionally mandated event.

    You leftists think you’re winning independents with this ammeter hour act? Obama is redefining the word unpresidential.

    You said:  “obama can never win. no matter what he does, the republicans will find someway to criticize him. it’s getting tiresome.”

    To which I said:  “Imagine how tired you would be if you liked George W Bush!”

    Your reply below this (I hate this board) had nothing to do with what we were talking about. 
    Could Bush ever win with the Dems?  From Day One Bush was killed by Dems because he “stole the election” and it never really got better- except for a few months after 9/11.  Even then truther scumbags like Alec Baldwin, Bill Mahr, Rosie O’Donnel, and Michael Moore hated on Bush.

    Hell, Bush got boo’d at Obama’s inauguration. 

    Guess what?  The Bush-Bashing got tiring.  Dems that were bashing Bush for 8 years should have thought about what would happen when their guy got in.  But they did not.  So please stuff it when it comes to tiresome “Obammy cant do anything right” whines.

    Either call out your own party or stop complaining.  Calling out the other side never solves anything.

    Seems to me Obama put his friends NBC and MSNBC in a difficult position. Were they supposed to drop the debate that had been planned for weeks in order to cover Obama’s speech? Because it would have been embarrassing for the WH if NBC and MSNBC went ahead with the debate instead of covering the Prez. And doubly embarrassing if the debate got better ratings. No, I don’t think the WH went up against the debate on purpose. I think it was another sign of their incompetence.

    Government doesn’t create jobs, Darla.  But it can smother them. 

    Over regulation and high tax rates both prevents businesses from starting and stifles companies from expanding.

    There is NO safety net without government revenue, Darla.  There is no revenue without a private sector.  There is no private sector without a profit motive.

  • Obama – The – Destroyer

    Bush brought the country back after Sept. 11, 2001.

    The country STARTED to go to hell when Nasty Pelosi got the checkbook in Jan 2007.

    Then, the path to destruction was completed when it became clear to money managers that BeeHO was gonna beat McCain.

    HERE’s how this went:

    Nov. 8, 2006 – money managers all over the country open their morning papers and say to themselves – “Wow, the Democrats took over congress – time to tighten my belt, no more hiring, no more raises, no more plans for growth. I’m just gonna sit back and try to ride this out”.

    THEN, Nov 5, 2008 (and the few weeks preceding)  – money managers all over the country say to themselves: “Wow, we just elected a Socialist: TIME TO PANIC ! – time to start lay-offs, time to get my money offshore, time to liquidate capital investments, HOLY $hit”

    Obama will get credit for getting Bin Laden, and justifiably so. And he will get credit for “leading from behind” and getting Gaddafi with no American loss of life (at least at this point). And he will also get credit for the first credit rating downgrade in American history, and years of 9+ % unemployment, and the worst economy maybe since the Great Depression…

    I believe Broken Tusk. It is a fact that the debate had been scheduled for Sept. 7. The days surrounding Sept. 7 were available for the President’s speech. He could even have slipped in before the debate on the sixth or something, but instead, he chose the date that was already taken. It’s like this: I set a date for my party, and then a month later, you (knowing the date of my party) schedule your party on the same day. Then you want me to move mine. I think this is an issue of manners. Even if you are the President, you don’t get to tell anyone (only a week ahead of time) to move their event when they’ve been planning for weeks.

    But if you want to bring up 9-11 … I do remember that Bush refused to read the Presidential Daily Briefing that warned “Bin Laden Determined to Strike America.” I also remember him not listening to the advice of Richard Clarke, who tried to get his administration to focus on Al Queda.

    Bush didn’t cause 9-11, but he sure as hell was asleep at the switch and his administration did little to prevent it..

Indeed, didn’t Jay ‘Opie Taylor’ Carney just get done telling us that the president ‘cannot create jobs?’ If that’s indeed true, what earth-moving thing can he POSSIBLY say on Wednesday OR Thursday? He’d prattle on about ‘infrastructure,’ ‘schools,’ bridges,’ ‘high-speed rail’…all guv-mint make-work stuff.

    If OBAMO held firm on Wednesday and dished up slop (which he will), he’d be sliced to ribbons the next day.

They only understand might and power, something Obama doesn’t have in him. Let’s hope nov 2012 is here before they sink even lower in their treatment of him

    Besides and to be fair, Obama’s speech will not be anything other than a whine fest with the word “compromise” in every other sentence. His plans are on the right track but he simply missed his window of opportunity. His hope is to inspire enough people to inundate congress with phone calls, tweets and email to get them to vote to support his ideas. Well dream on, Mr. president.

    Congress,” said Betty K. Koed, an associate historian for the U.S.
    Senate, in response to an inquiry from The Huffington Post. “From 1800
    to 1913, presidents chose not to address Congress in person. Since 1913,
    every president has appeared before Congress at least once during his
    term(s) in office. Permission to speak in a joint session is given by
    resolution of the House and Senate, and arrangements are made through
    the leadership offices of each chamber.

    Obamo just sent out a standoffish e-mail to ‘supporters’ (emphasis mine) saying how ‘frustrated’ he is about Congress’ willingness to just ‘do what he tells them to do’ (emphasis his). In other words, Obamo claims he NOW has a clear plan to get people to work but is angry that ANYONE would stand in the way of His Plan.

    Let’s rewind to 2010 when Obamo DID have Congress in his tobacco pouch. Did he focus on ‘jobs’ then? Nope…it was all about ObamoCare and ramming that down everyone’s throat. His ‘laser-like focus’ on ‘jobs, jobs, jobs’ should have come THEN.

    But because it is coming NOW (or pretending to be ‘now’), Obamo is livid because we ripped that tobacco pouch from his greedy, limp-wristed hands…and now he is the penultimate ‘Limp D_ck’ president.

    Can you read? The POTUS doesn´t need permission or agreement for releasing the following statement:

    Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. Leader:),

    Our Nation faces unprecedented economic challenges, and millions of hardworking Americans continue to look for jobs. As I have traveled across our country this summer and spoken with our fellow Americans, I have heard a consistent message: Washington needs to put aside politics and start making decisions based on what is best for our country and not what is best for each of our parties in order to grow the economy and create jobs. We must answer this call.

    Therefore, I respectfully request the opportunity to address a Joint Session of Congress on September 7, 2011, at 8:00 p.m. It is my intention to lay out a series of bipartisan proposals that the Congress can take immediately to continue to rebuild the American economy by strengthening small businesses, helping Americans get back to work, and putting more money in the paychecks of the Middle Class and working Americans, while still reducing our deficit and getting our fiscal house in order. It is our responsibility to find bipartisan solutions to help grow our economy, and if we are willing to put country before party, I am confident we can do just that.

    This entire setup was designed in order to overshadow the GOP debate with an obvious message:  Pay attention to the Obama Adminstration, not the GOP. 

    Given the fact that the POTUS could have created a plan and three years to publically announce that plan, it’s ridiculous to assume that this was his ONLY opportunity to speak.  The man has spent more time on the air and in public than any POTUS in recent memory. It’s laughable to try to sell it otherwise.

    Couldn’t do it for three years? Couldn’t do it during the day?  Couldn’t do it the day before, the day after, or hell, how about LAST WEEK?

    It’s all political posturing and only the most foolish or naive would think otherwise.  But then again, Ed was never the smartest pencil in the box…

    I guess the rest of the things we care about don’t matter:

    * Under Obama’s stewardship, we have lost 2.2 million jobs (and 900,000 full-time jobs in the last four months alone). He is now on track to have the worst jobs record of any president in the modern era.
    * The unemployment rate stands at 9.1 percent v. 7.8 percent the month Obama took office.
    * July marked the 30th consecutive month in which the unemployment rate was above the 8 percent level, the highest since the Great Depression.
    * Since May 2009 — roughly 14 weeks into the Obama administration — the unemployment rate has been above 10 percent during three months, above 9 percent during 22 months, and above 8 percent during two months.
    * Chronic unemployment is worse than during the Great Depression.
    * The youth employment rate is at the lowest level since records were first kept in 1948.
    * The share of the eligible population holding a job has declined to the lowest level since the early 1980s.
    * The housing crisis is worse than in the Great Depression. (Home values are worth roughly one-third less than they were five years ago.)
    * The rate of economic growth under Obama has been only slightly higher than the 1930s, the decade of the Great Depression. 
    * Fiscal year 2011 will mark the third straight year with deficits in excess of $1 trillion. Prior to the Obama presidency, we had never experienced a deficit in excess of $1 trillion.
    * During the Obama presidency, America has increased its debt by $4 trillion.
    * America saw its credit rating downgraded for the first time in history under the Obama presidency.
    * Consumer confidence has plunged to the lowest level since the Carter presidency.
    *  The number of people in the U.S. who are in poverty is on track for a record increase on President Obama’s watch, with the ranks of working-age poor approaching 1960s levels that led to the national war on poverty.

    Im not exactly sure what instance you are talking about, but there is a difference in criticizing him when it comes to war time matters and criticizing him about other stuff. This wasn’t about war, it was about a speech. My only problem is that Schultz would have been insulting a Republican president up and down if  he/she was in this exact situation right now. I don’t mind people criticizing presidents. You are supposed to watch what they do and make sure they act right. You just don’t go on TV bitching about Republicans not respecting the president now when you didn’t 3 years ago. At least be consistent.

    Can YOU read? I said Obama “chose a date to speak before a Joint Session of Congress, then announced it to the press WITHOUT agreement “… as noted Obama chose Sep 7th and announced Sep 7th to world WITHOUT an agreement from the Speaker of the House….. get a grip, sport.

    Upon receipt of the memo you posted, Boehner respectfully asked the president to change dates. Thus setting off this debate in the blogosphere.

    Sorry Barry- the way it works is that you contact the Speaker of the House and inform him you want a joint session and the Speaker then let’s ya know when that can be done. 

    But I guess you are too conceited and ignorant to know that.

    You said “These are the people of torture, Abu Ghuraib, the Patriot act, the Fallujeh atrocity “… What you call torture was put in place by both parties’ elected officials. And you need to stop blaming the whole military for the select acts of a few. (Not sure what your Fallujeh issue is, anyway)

    “Talking heads” like Rush don’t hold an office, so can’t be voted out. Rush is exercising his freedom of speech, agree with him or disagree with him. I sure didn’t agree with all the BS put out on Air America (and I guess America didn’t either).

    That war of choice had a crap load of democrats making that same choice, Hillary and Biden included, Sunshine Patriots all.

    Enough of that Clinton surplus garbage, he ran a deficit every single year in office, per the US Treasury in billions:

    FY 94, $281.26…….FY 95 $ 281.23…….FY 96 $250.83……FY 97 $188.34……..FY 98 $113.05……FY 99 $130.08……FY 00 $17.91……..FY 01 $133.29

    Yes, Bush did not read the President’s Daily BRIEFING.  Presidents do not read PDBs, they are BRIEFED on the PDBs and yes, Bush was BRIEFED on the August 06 PDB.

    The August 6th PDB was a recap of warnings going back five years and Bush requested that the national security agencies put that particular briefing together, they did, and they BRIEFED him.  “:bin Laden Determined to Strike America” was a consistant threat, it did not mean the threat was known to be imminent at that time, our security and intel agencies were caught flat footed, they, at that time, had not come to consensus whether it was an immediate threat.  The PDB warned of hijacking and hostage taking, it warned that FEDERAL buildings in NY may….may be attacked but had no knowledge as to when.  The WTC Towers were not federal buildings.

    Richard Clarke was a liar, his closed door testimony did not match what he said in the televised hearings.  Also remarks he made regarding what went on with the President immediately after the attack were proven to be impossible as he wasn’t in the area with the President as he claimed.

    Two US Embassies, WTC 93 and the USS Cole and lefty cranks point at the first 8 months of the Bush Administration.  Pfft!

    The speaker of the house is an elected official and I’ve never heard Rush demand a thing on the air that the speaker hasn’t dutifully obliged to. He certainly is in the habit of repeating on the air that he is the titular head of the republican party

    I’ll reservedly concede the patriot act which centrist dems voted in favor of, but I’m not aware of anyone one the left except for Lieberman who supported torture. And he’s technically an independent anyway.

    I ‘reservedly” concede the patriot act because it was concocted and passed during an atmosphere of fear that the republican party has manufactured and got to pass most of their liberty encroaching agenda and illegal wars through including this little thing called the Iraq war. Fallujah and Hadeetha were ground zero for atrocities where non-militant civilians were indiscriminately massacred again with Rush to the rescue defending the acts on the air

    I appreciate your concessions.

    However, since you weren’t in Fallujah and Hadeetha, I’m not sure of who you are “accusing” of committing said atrocities and/or how our elected officials (or even Rush) were to blame.

    I did hear about some American contractors being beheaded over there and I did hear about Sadam committing some atrocities. But you probably didn’t write any posts criticizing THOSE atrocities, now did you?

    BTW, seen any good war protests lately? They were all over the place during Bush’s term.

  • Rio

    The truth about waterboarding came out with the Pelosi lie that she never knew it was happening, it was proven that she indeed was briefed.  In the course of the briefings(rep and dem leadership and security committee heads), no democrat other than Jane Harmon objected, she did so in letter form.  I believe it may have been Schumer that wanted to know if that was far enough, meaning, could they expand on it.

    Don’t know what you are talking about with fallujah, but with Haditha(2005) of the eight Marines involved, charges have been dropped in six of the cases, on found innocent at trial and one still awaits trial.

    The Patriot Act is a spinn off of the 1996 AntiTerrorism Act, you see, during the Clinton years the democrats “concocted and passed during an atmosphere of fear” due to WTC 93 and the bombing of the Muir building. 

    In the Daschle-D controlled Senate, the Patriot Act passed by only 98 votes.  Those rascally Republicans certainly must have put the fear into those little democrat sheep.

    Obama has done a good job. As good as possible, given that one party has decided to destroy the American and world economies, for political gain. Just by breaking up the republicans attempt to do that, Obama, and our nation, were victorious. The next step is to hold the republicans accountable and vote them out of power, lest they try again to destroy our economy next year.

    Much to do about nothing. The republican debate is important and should be the center of attention. It was scheduled first. And then of course, the NFL starts the next night- I don’t think the president should do a joint session speech, he is wasting his breath on the republican TBAGGER HOUSE. He needs to go to the american people. As he has said from day one, the change has to come from the bottom up. The repugs have had 30 years destroying the foundation of this democracy in favor of an oligarchy and govt run like a business. It has become so bold in its angst toward american workers that it is now focusing on women. The latest GOP/TBAGGER mantra to women: “IN your face and UP your uterus. Your body is public domain until menapause, get used to it”.” Oh, and by the way RAPE, it is’t so bad!! Having a baby implanted by VIOLENCE,  you only have to remember and relive the assault every day of your life, when you look the child in the eyes. Then again, there is always adoption!!”

    @rio can’t taint entire left by what Pelosi did or didn’t do & perhaps you’d sound more convincing if you didn’t look for vindication by how supportive the other side has been of your actions. If you are as principaled as you claim to be, you’d own up to your beliefs, actions and convictions.

    A conviction of yours is that torture is justifiable and infact preferable when applied to Arabs and Muslims.  And your administration did that with impunity. Just come out and own up to it and you’d get better respect from me than hiding behind Pelosi’s skirt

    & Hadeetha was simply a war crime, a marine was killed by a roadside bomb, 24 Iraqi civilians were made to pay for it by being massacred in retribution… 11 of the 24 were women and kids. Fallujah, two words: white phosphorus
