Looks as though President Obama once again drew the short straw when it comes to respect.

Unfortunately this journalist seems to have misspelled Speaker Boner's name.
Boehner disses presidency, and Obama takes it (click title to entry - thank you)

(CNN) -- The way I see it, House Speaker John Boehner's eloquent letter to President Obama requesting he push back his address really could have been summed up in two words-- screw you.
We're all adults here, right?
We can pretend security logistics -- Boehner's "reason" -- require more time; we can pretend getting everyone where they need to be with just a week's notice is a scheduling nightmare; we can certainly call out Obama for being transparent in his attempt to upstage Republicans in the first place by scheduling his address on the same day as a GOP debate….


Q:  Why is it I value a speech by the President more than the first day of football season when it means watching millionaires running around on a field owned by billionaires? 


A:  I put country first.
