Really? Is there anyone who is going to watch the GOP debate (apart from reporters who get paid for it) who wants to watch Obama? Truly, that is the null set.

eta: Also, the idea that Obama is somehow advantaged if no one watches the GOP debate is completely wrong. His re-election may hinge on persuading people that the nominee is from the lunatic fringe. He should be sending every voter a DVD with the GOP debates on it.

Fuck both of them. The more I watch them maneuver, the more I think they make a perfect couple. At this point, the only end game the two of them give a fuck about is self-preservation.

I know "a pox on both houses" is your default setting, but (a) Obama is the President, (b) he raised the date with Boehner's office beforehand and they didn't object, and (c) no Speaker has ever said this to a President before.
