#2 Making the primetime speech on Thursday means it could now go head to head with a season-opening NFL game between the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints.

That's even dumber than requesting a joint session of Congress during the Republican candidates' debate. I suggest moving it to Friday, opposite the Victoria's Secret Lingerie Model Fashion Show.

#3 Making the primetime speech on Thursday means it could now go head to head with a season-opening NFL game between the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints.

This means BHO doesn't actually want anyone to watch the speech. It's just a few minutes of tape for use in his campaign.

I'd like to see the entire Republican delegation show up either in Cheeseheads or Saints gear, depending on their particular religious denomination.

#4 he's moved it up to 7EST, which means the west coast and most of the rest of the working nation won't see it. Good job, Barry! SCOAMF

#6 No AMERICAN President would hold a speech during opening day of football. Oh, wait. He is not American.

#7 Why not, didn't seem to mind interrupting the World Series.

This whole thing is pathetic and, if I were a booster, embarassing. If this was on purpose, the only thing worse than the idea was the one who approved it. If an accident, then they have no idea about their own nation's politics nevermind someplace like Libya or Brazil.

Smahrt politics.

#8 So is anybody counting? He has shuffled his speech how many times? he bowed to the republicans, he bowed to the NFL, then by shutting down the EPA, he bowed to the (evil) capitalists, and finally, on his trip to Camp david, the weather came in and Marine One had to land. So he had to bow to God.! that had to hurt. Wonder how much fun the USMC flight crew had in telling POTUS that due to the weather, he 'couldn't get there from here....' (and still keep a straight face, sir)

#9 he bowed to the NFL

Appropriately.

Remember, it's the secular high holy season of the NFL, opening day. Not quite as storied as Ramadan, for example, but it will do.
