After Scheduling Obama’s Address To Coincide With GOP Debate, Carney Says Republicans Should Reschedule “In The Spirit Of Democracy”…
Takes some serious chutzpah to make a statement like this.
(Politico) — The White House suggested Wednesday that the hosts of next week’s GOP presidential debate can change the time by an hour so it doesn’t interfere with President Obama’s planned jobs speech to Congress.
POLITICO and NBC are hosting a Republican debate Sept. 7 at 8 p.m., the same time the White House said Obama asked Congress to make an address.
Asked about the timing on Wednesday, press secretary Jay Carney said, “It is coincidental.”
“There are a lot of factors that go into scheduling a speech before Congress, a joint session,” he said. “You can never find a perfect time. . . . There are many channels, there are many opportunities for people to watch the president, and obviously for people to watch the debate.”
Asked later if the interruption is then an “added bonus” for the White House, Carney suggested that isn’t the case. “There’s one president, there’s 20-some-odd debates,” he said.
“There are many opportunities for the American people. There’s a choice they can make to watch the president, to watch the debate,” he said. “A network could make a decision to alter the timing of the debate by an hour.”
Carney later elaborated, saying that if “sponsors chose and the candidates so chose to adjust the timing of their debate . . . that would be completely fine with us, in the spirit of democracy.”

Man I would love the opportunity to meet this little worm in a dark alley and beat the living snot from his pathetic body. He makes me sick as he’s not even a man. He’s one of those p*ssy metrosexuals.
What.An.Ass.
I think that it should be clear to everyone at this point,
The WH is being run by a group of junior high school students
The Rep Debate should go on as scheduled
The Reps in the Houses should be ‘absent’ according to their interests
Let’s SEE who’s ‘Viewer Ratings’ are the highest
Win Win for the Republicans, to let obongo talk about NOTHING once again, to use a Joint Session for a Political speech ONCE AGAIN to a less than full session,
If Boehner had even one testicle, he would tell Obama to go fuck himself.
What are the odds?
No one will watch his speech anyway. Who cares…. I agree with Keith in Seattle. Carney needs his ass beat badly.
Two words…….F*CK YOU………….scorched earth policy is underway…..
Isn’t he so cute with his little joke. Let’s see how funny Mr. Claire Shipmann is when his boss gets obliterated in the 2012 elections and he’s right out of his job as the official Liberal Smartass.
Arrogant & no class whatsoever.
Boehner runs the house tell Obama not available that night give him the days prior to that date and throw it back in his face ” why wait if this is so important ” then let the white house try and spin that!
Carney is a smarmy ballbag. Besides, no one gives a shit what the master of disaster has to say anyway. Same shit, different day.
They should change the debate to MST3K format and just have the silhouettes of the candidates making smart ass comment while watching Obama’s speech.
Yeah, sounds about right to me.
OsamaHusseinIslamObama 2012′ (WTF)
(the terrorist-Uighur-ACORN-media choice)
-It’s never too early to campaign-
I think it’s a great idea that we can use against Zero. Let him talk first and then start debating how effed up his ideas are when they’re fresh. People might be interested in the counter argument against the BS.
Jay the Carney Barker douche.
Again two words….F*CK You!!….We own that House and Congress and we should be the ones telling you when and where you can speak………….
So the consensus is that Boehner won’t have the balls to say no.
Rupaula, your idea is full of WIN!
Does Obie really want to lose in a ratings match-up? He’s not thinking this through.
these fuckers are so childish–
Maybe the dems think this childish little ploy will increase Barry’s ratings for his next jobs speech. Good luck with that. Nobody cares what the little snot says.
You arrogant bastard!……….go stand on a damn street corner and give your worthless address…..you will probably have a bigger audience…….
To those THINKING followers of this site.
The WH knew the schedule of the GOP debate well before the president decided which day to speech.
So, logic dictates it was intentional to “diss” the GOP debate, and saying it should be moved in the “spirit of democracy”.
No matter whether or not the debate is moved…we need to understand that each day leading to the 2012 election the media/DEMs will continue an assault, using unimportant ‘comments’, ‘issues’, or whatever less it can find to undermine the leading GOP contenders.
It is up to everyone who want to run this crew of corrupt DEMs out of power and replace them with people who want the country to get on a positive path to strengthen the country.
keep the faith…and DON’T wimp out to DEM frivolous charges.
Every once and awhile Ru… you come up with a gem
Carney must have Secret Service protection to mouth off like that.
This is just one more out of numerous examples that show that for teh SCOAMF, it’s all about power plays. He has to demonstrate that he has the ability to mess with people one way or the other. He can’t resist the urge. It’s who he is.
He’s nothing more than a self-absorbed, narcissistic, petty, vindictive asshole with the emotional maturity of a three year old.
Gives ass a bad wrap, they’re hard working animals.
“We only have one President” Yes, only one, whose frequency of appearance on TV almost rivals that of the nightly weather forecaster.
There’s no reason for Comrade Barry to give a political campaign speech in a joint session. Boehner should tell Barry to take a hike and make his campaign speech on “jobs” on TV.
Arrogant little ____.
Hey, Obama – how about you reschedule your speech, in the spirit of my red Republican ass?
The PERFECT time for the communist gay moslim coward USURPER to give his speech has been cleared and ready for booking; Saturday Sept. 3rd 1:00 AM EST.
Book it! Give IT! Late night TV viewers will be pissed!
John Boehner should lock the asshole out.
Let them go at the same time…the debate will draw more audience…
we can watch Barry out on the golf course anytime…
I have better things to do then listening to obmas mindless oinking
I say run em together…see who gets the better rating.
maybe Olame will slip this time instead of calling us folks will call us F*cks, which then he will be hit will a cream pie in the face.
@bwb says:
Look at the other side, Obumma may be doing this deliberately to say “see the Rep are the party of no, they don’t want America to succeed and let us spend another 1.6 trillion dollars”
Could be the start of their talking points through the election season
I prefer they not reschedule. No one is going watch the big O anyway.
Waiting on Sarah. Keeping powder dry.
In the name of Democracy I choose to avoid O’Bummer all the time. As for the debates there’s plenty of time to see what shakes out. I’ll be voting for whomever takes the R nomination…so that’s done. Probably will turn on the GOP just to take away from the Grifter/Squatter. And, I’m sure there’s a rerun of 2 1/2 Men on some place…preferable to listening to the creep.
HEY, CARNEY, I GOT YOUR “SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY” RIGHT HERE ….
“Paper Boy” Carney was REALLY feeling his Fruit Loops
today! With a “sugar high”, this guy is formidable!
I vote they both go on at the same time.
The WH decided to set up this little test of voter interest; let them reap the results. Maybe it will work out well for the, but I’m guessing not. For thesmartest man in the room, Obama and his associates sure step in a lot ( of you know what).
Obumma is the 1st name that comes to mind with this POTUS. Have you seen the misery index recently?
I wouldn’t watch that little prick no matter what time he speaks. I can’t – I get sick to my stomach and my hands get tired from continuously flippin’ him the bird.
Hell no.. the GOP should boycott the TOTUS not re-schedule.. call his bluff.
Common tactic by obamao – recall he did the same thing when the Tea Party was holding a rally in DC – he just happened to work with pelousy and schedule a meeting of all Dem Senators the very same day….pelousy commonly would schedule votes at the same time as Tea Party rallies were held…..
This punk is so smarmy. In grade school, all the kids used to “pants” Carney. Even the girls would beat him up and take his lunch money.
I hate Obama.
What a crock of shit! Carney and his morons and obumbleF8ck KNEW exactly when the (R) debates were going to occur.
I hope the (R)’s tell barry boy to go f*cK himself, with a rusty saw.
I’d sure love to see the tantrum by Obozo when his ratings are lower than the GOP debate’s. The MSM has given so much bad press to the GOP candidates that people will be tuning in just to see if they’re as bad as MSM makes out.
All Obozo wants to do is talk about himself. He’s pretty close to being a complete non-entity at the moment.
Carney seems a bit confused over whether the general population gives a flyin’ fig or not? I’d endure a root canal or a romp through poison ivy before I’d sit and watch Prissy lecture us – again.
I KNOW what I’ll be tuned into…………………..
Let’s see, “20-odd debates”…..
…..says the Numero-Uno-odd-and-then-some snitty little Propaganda Minister.
And then there’s the WAY-odd PO(TU)S currently (and hopefully quite temporarily) inhabiting the People’s House.
Washington, DC, the Emerald City of Odds…
PISS ON UBAMA, PISS ON CARNEY AND PISS ON THE WHITEHOUSE!
Who gives a shit about The Wan’s speech?
Coincidental my ass!
Boner told Odumbo to pound salt… and find another night

Here’s a PDF of Boehner’s letter: http://www.speaker.gov/UploadedFiles/8-31-11_Speaker_Letter_to_POTUS_on_Joint_Session_Request.pdf
Kudos to Boehner for showing his spine!!!
I don’t think he will like the low ratings for his lies, but I know I will be watching the Republican Debate, and hope for a real change, not just the next media choice.
I’m tired of the same old people who have been in politics so long they have no back bone and would say anything to get the next government gig.
People are saying Herman Cain and Michele Bachmann have not the experience for the job, but what did obama have, nothing but racists voting for him, and a lot of them returned from the dead to do it.
So here’s to obama’s rating’s be so low that the networks tape it to play at a later date LOL
Eat shit
Once again, the children in this administration make the Clinton crew look like responsible adults….and that ain’t easy.
I’ll happily stick my foot up Carney’s ass in the spirit of democracy!
The jugged-earred man-child “Squatting” in “OUR HOUSE” just wanted to stick his finger in the eye of the re=pubs!!!!! Petty, not professional,…..BUT our side misses a great opportunity to have 8 of us ganging up and beating the hell out of the speech by just delaying it one hour and let the fool have his say and then POUNCE after!!!! God i hate that bastard!!!! When will there be enough abuses of power and illegal side-stepping of Congress, and just make up laws whenever they need be enough to impeach this criminal?
How has this guy not gotten punched in the friggin mouth by now? Is there some type of divine (or better yet satanic) intervention going on here? Every time I see his pic my fist rolls into a ball.
Bring back Gibbsy -
@reality
I do miss him. Nobody does pompous douchebag like Baghdad Bob.
Sound and Fury Signifying Less than Nothing
Obama’s speech before Congress on creating jobs had to be delayed…Who cares, except the news media? Americans with the least bit of savvy already know it is just another shovel ready full of the end product of the “post industrial society’s” ongoing collapse.
