Krauthammer says that if Boehner had invited Obama to speak on the night of the GOP debate, then Obama would have looked small. And if they moved the debate forward one hour, then there would be one heck of a response with 8 presidential candidates on stage all criticizing Obama’s speech:

Krauthammer makes an interesting point, but honestly, I am very happy to see Speaker Boehner stand up to the president for a change.

Also, channeling my inner Beck, I’ll admit that I’ve never heard of Stephen Strasburg.

If you were familar with BO's past would know that he was ( and probably still is ) a catcher. I am just curious who fathered the children. Then again - not.

'The Turd' is circling the drain and he knows it. This was 'MOST DEFINALY' a move to up stage the GOP Debate. But the Night before, the night of, the night after or a week from Tuesday can not keep afloat the Sinking ( Stinking BO 'The Muslim Turd' ) Commie ship.

We are witnessing the coming of a GOP Victory 6 months out from the General Election. So have at it Maxine and Andrea. You are only 'Putting Out Fire With Gasoline'.

Americans Rock - Dem/Commies NOT!

Krauthammer and Fox as a whole has really become an embarrassment. They do a nice job from time to time on certain things, but for the most part they are awful. I noticed the change start a little before the Obama superbowl interview and it has gotten worse since then.

Krauthammer believes in a strong executive power, that's why he opposes Boehner standing up. In Krauthammer's neocon world, the President is to be treated like a demigod.

Boehner needs to stop Obama's wishes at every turn. It's call the 'opposition party' for a reason. In the rare instance Obama does something constructive... never mind. That will never happen.

No other President or administration would have put the Speaker in this position in the first place. The country is being run by a bunch of juveniles.

The arrogance of "THE THUG" has been unquestioned thus far -

Make no mistake - BO is an arrogant thug

I am glad Boehner found a diplomatic way to say - "screw you"

Enough is enough

By the way - Did you hear about the NEW vehicle the Labor Secretary bought?

She said she bought the car "To show her support for American workers"

THE PROBLEM: The car was made in CANADA ! We pay these dopes??

Don't bother trying to convert the "ghoul aid" drinkers -

Get out the vote in 2012

Let's be honest here... The regime leader's shrinkage has nothing to do with Boehner. The failed regime leader has earned it on his own. Come to think of it, that's the legacy of this one-term president.

Let Krauthammer take responsibility for his remarks. I remember a campaign several years ago for everyone to sign and take responsibility for his or her work. Fine Krauthammer has spoken. Now to the genius of Boehner. First, in order for the President to speak to a joint session, he must be invited. For him to speak in the house chamber, he must be invited by the speaker of the house, not just decide by decree that he will speak there. Mr. Boehner, the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America has invited POTUS to speak on Thursday night. Oh, the opening night of the NFL in the United States of America? How coincidental. LOL Go John go. Go John go. GB

Actually, Speaker Boehner did not invite him to speak on Thursday night. He said "Thursday... at a time that works best for your schedule."

I'm sick of Krauthammer and all the other "intellectual" so-called conservatives spending their time criticizing our side instead of attacking the enemy...and I do mean enemy.

Nobody cares what the theory is, Mr. Krauthammer. The results of following establishment advice are residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as we speak.

Krauthammer's comment was ill-advised.

And Friday morning someone will say the NFL acted stupidly for playing through Obama's speech.

I don't agree with Krauthammer. Obama's the one who made the timing conflict, not Boehner or the GOP. Obama's trying to disrupt the GOP because he can't stand being criticized. I frankly don't know how he's going to get through this campaign season. It's not going to be like last time where falsely calling people "racist" will shut them up. If Obama is being this petty now, this does not bode well for him.

Ugh, you're headline is terrible... why? Because Allahpundit will just repeat it a meme will start spreading... "Krauthammer disagrees with Boehner"...

First of all, Krauthammer is wrong. Obama's speech would be on multiple channels and the rebuttal would only be on NBC... so it's kind of worthless. Also, people get tired. They will not want to sit through a "rebuttal". It's better to go first.

The most important part of this video is the end... where Obama's call to "transcend politics" of whatever is shown to be complete crap by the method in which he called up this speech.

No, it's only half of what he said... and you left out the "probably"...

Like I said, Krauthammer is complete wrong... Obama wanted the contrast(higher ratings on every channel in front of congress).... the whole point of Obama scheduling things this way was the make the GOP look small. There is an Alpha/Beta dynamic playing here and Krauthammer wants the GOP to play Beta...
