WHO KNEW PRESIDENTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ILL-MANNERED?:

The audacity of weakness: Another embarrassing fail betrays a White House in a bubble (Cenk Uygur, 901/11, Salon)

Here was the headline on Yahoo News tonight: "Obama bows to Boehner on jobs speech."

Bows to Boehner: I can tell you what any progressive who has been paying attention thought, "Oh boy, here we go again."

President Obama has now changed the day of his address to Congress to accommodate the Republicans. They were having a GOP presidential debate on the original date he picked. So, Boehner told him to move his speech. He is the president for Christ's sake. Of course, they should have accommodated him, not the other way around. But as usual, President Obama bowed.
