Rachel Maddow Rips Boehner For Delaying Obama Speech Over ‘Jogging Event’ Vote

video
» 95 comments

Last night Rachel Maddow slammed Speaker of the House John Boehner for unprecedentedly delaying President Obama’s address to Congress for insignificant votes that he said couldn’t be moved.

On her MSNBC program Monday, Maddow reported that Boehner had complained there would be important votes scheduled for Wednesday that Obama’s address would conflict with and thus could not be interrupted.

“With the significant amount of time — typically more than three hours — that is required to allow for a security sweep of the House Chamber before receiving a president, it is my recommendation that your address be held on the following evening, when we can ensure there will be no parliamentary or logistical impediments that might detract from your remarks,” Boehner wrote in a letter to President Obama

The alleged votes that couldn’t possibly be missed turned out to be a roll-call vote authorizing the use of the Capitol grounds for the Law Enforcement Torch Run, a “charity jogging event,” and a congratulations to a North Carolina softball team for making the Little League World Series. “One vote and some non-binding speechifying,” a clearly steamed Maddow lamented.

Maddow noted that no speaker or Congress had ever before told a President to move an address to Congress in US History. Maddow exclaimed, “That is unheard of!” Even before these alleged important votes were made public, Mediaite‘s Tommy Christopher was so angered by this insult to the President that he called for Boehner to resign.

Maddow also called out the four Republicans from the South who didn’t even bother to show up for the speech despite it being rescheduled. “They didn’t have the time,” Maddow zinged.

“There is apparently something about this president that erases the need for whatever deference Congressional Republicans might otherwise feel toward the office that President Obama holds, I would love to hear them explain exactly what that is.”

    Obama’s inconsequential campaign speech /rehash could have and should have been given at anytime from the White House if it had mattered .

    Which it did not and does not .

    Obama looking extremely small haranguing Republicans like Al Sharpton bellowing about somebody in his parking place . Barry using his Jeremiah Wright  voice and sounding frantic ,desperate and crazy .

    Madcow’s dishonesty and hackery really is a stain on the Rhodes Trust. She soils the name:

    Presidential addresses to Congress are often dramatic moments. This one felt like a sideshow. Usually, the press gallery is standing-room-only; this time, only 26 of 90 seats were claimed by the deadline. Usually, some members arrive in the chamber hours early to score a center-aisle seat; 90 minutes before Thursday’s speech, only one Democrat was so situated.Almost all Republicans ignored the calls of some within their ranks to boycott the speech. In fact, the empty seats were on the Democratic side. Democrats lumbered to their feet to give the president several standing ovations, but they struggled at times to demonstrate enthusiasm. When Obama proposed payroll tax cuts for small businesses, three Democrats stood to applaud. Summer jobs for disadvantaged youth brought six Democrats to their feet, and a tax credit for hiring the long-term unemployed produced 11 standees.Obama spoke quickly, urgently, even angrily. Rep. Jesse Jackson (D-Ill.) stared at the ceiling. Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) scanned the gallery. Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) was seen reading a newspaper. And Republicans, when they weren’t giggling, were mostly silent.

    Anyone with at least half a brain (i.e., everyone except liberals) knew Obama scheduled his little speech on the day of the Republican debates even though he had weeks, months and years to come up with a jobs bill.  Boehner didn’t comply with Obama’s political maneuvering and told him to shove it, do your little speech some other day.  Case closed.

    Its pretty sad that you find it worthy to quote the article where it discusses the current POTUS -nice but who really cares. YET you found it UNWORTHY to post this part, WHICH IS TRULY SICKENING: ““Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary — an outrage he has asked us to fix,” Obama went on. Widespread laughter broke out on the GOP side of the aisle.”
    I guess that is ok with you because you found it more amusing to read the high school hijinks of elected officials -who cares what party- who either missed the conference, or seemed bored enough to react as if they were children with nothing on their plates. You should be PISSED that a billionare pays less percentage wise in taxes than his assistant. You should KNOW where any potential MONEY could be found by simply adding on your fingers the kind of CASH that this country needs that dudes like Buffet arent paying in while the rest of us DO.. Come on! Get outta the idiot game.. THERE ARE NO SIDES HERE.. WE NEED to look closely at the people in D.C. who are just getting nice fat paychecks, regardless of their party, and start leaning on these people to work for the people who matter.

    Palin’s looks mean nothing to me. It’s her general batcrap craziness and utter hypocrisy that move me to ulcers. It’s the “We’re rugged individualists who don’t much cotton to gubmint in our lives” all while living in a state that could not exist were it not for Federal money, and where governors and senators past and present whore the hardest and loudest for said Federal money. It’s the “Gosh, isn’t the idea of wealth distribution just TERRIBLE” while presiding over a state where every citizen receives an annual oil revenue check for around $1100. Not because they work the oil fields or anything, but just because they are Alaska citizens. To quote Joe the Plumber, “that sounds like socialism to me.”  And to further quote Joe the Plumber, “Duuuuuhhhhhhh…..Duuuuhhhhhhhhhhh…….Duuuuuuhhhhhhhhh.”

    If I were speaker Boehner I wouldn’t allow that jackass Obama to speak before the House ever again without first making an appointment with his assistant at least three weeks in advance.

    Then no later thanone week before the campaign speech he, the jackass, must supply in writing a transcript for review.

    If the point of the thing is to merely lie directly to the faces of us ” real ” Americans then the OK is recinded and B will immediately be banished to his ( OUR ) big black bus.

    She also did not mention that Boehner’s “unprecedented” response was a result of Obama’s unprecedented act of publicly disclosing the invitation requested. Usually these things are down outside of public scrutiny. The Prez, however, made his request public before anything definitive was determined.

    The Federal government owns 70% of Alaska and between the feds and the environmentalists, Alaskans get to be quite fed up.   The land is carved up leaving the pristine fed owned land controlled by the enviros and the rest of the  fed land is also highly restricted.  Costs money to maintain all those millions of acres, it isn’t welfare that’s showing up in Alaska anymore than any other state.

    Land that was left to the Alaskans to develop and maintain amounts to about the size of California or Texas.  Being as though they have only been a state for 52 years, they have weathered some drastic growing pains developing, maintaining and owning land for a low populated, rough state.  Prior to 1959, Alaska was totally federally owned.  My family has owned land for generations, for the Alaskans it’s been quite different.

    My husband served a year up in Adak, he bought an old car with his Navy buddies and had a trunk full of tires and two strapped to the roof.  Between the bad roads and the weird weather they had constant blowouts.

    Growing pains:

     Should I put it in “plain ‘ol common sense” bumper sticker platitudes so you can understand it, Cleetus?

    Ok. How about this:

    Sarah Palin presided over one of the biggest “Welfare Queen” states in America. That would be Alaska. Alaska lives off money from the federal government. Meaning they use “other peoples money” to exist as a state. They receive way more in federal money than they pay out in taxes. They also “spread the wealth around” when it comes to oil revenue, you know, when they “drill, baby drill,” and “drill here, drill now.” Every citizen in Alaska gets a revenue check every year, which is a share of the percentage that the state gets from it’s oil leases. You don’t have to actually work in the oil fields to receive this check. It is, in fact, an ‘ENTITLEMENT’ because every Alaska citizen gets one.

    Ms. Palin decries socialism while living in the most socialist state in the Union. She decries government involvement in the free market while living in a state that takes from oil companies and gives to people who have done nothing. During her tenure as governor, she did nothing to alter this state of affairs. She was a rabid seeker of Federal money. In short, she is so full of crap that her eyes should be brown.

    The “GOP jobs bill” is to not pass any more self-defeating legislation that purports to stimulate.  That “stimulated” me to move my retirement assets out of my business and batten down the hatches for the inevitable day of financial reckoning. 

    The “GOP jobs bill” is to put the Federal Govt back into the box from which its bloated body has burst and oozed so that we can get back to creating real growth.  You don’t, you guys out there in DC, “create jobs”, you foster growth/expansion/innovation/investment.   The jobs follow just as they have whenever the private sector has taken off.  And it may again, but not until we admit that egregious government spending and borrowing isn’t the answer. 

    Remember when Bill Clinton told us the era of big government was ending?  He was on the right track.  He had the right idea.  And we all understood.  It didn’t even require us to what the definition of “big” is.

    It’s hopeless, of course, but I will tilt at this windmill anyway (just for amusement).  First off, evidently you are not bright enough to realize that what Maddow presented is not “news”, it is commentary – and very biassed commentary at that.  In simpler terms, for the dim-witted, she is a commentator and not a reporter.  I watched this segment, and she treated the whole “first time” BS as though Boehner were some rebellious peasant having the audacity to disagree with Beloved Emporer Obama (BEO).  She is either too stupid herself or too dishonest to admit that both houses of the congress are independent political bodies and not subject to the royal decrees of BEO.  This is far from the first time that I have watched her and caught her committing even worse gaffes.  Try getting a mind: perhaps even a functional one of your own that you don’t sell out to the first liberal commentator that you encounter.
