Default Re: Iowa Republican Debate

Gotta love this:

Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a retreat after an hours-long test of wills Wednesday, President Barack Obama agreed to deliver an address on jobs and the economy to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 8, yielding to House Speaker John Boehner, who had balked at Obama's request for a Sept. 7 speech.

Obama's address still gives him a grand stage to unveil his economic agenda, but it will compete with the opening game of the National Football League season — a conflict the White House wanted to avoid.

Clearly everyone knows America's team, the Green Bay Packers, will draw a wider audience than the president.
