Speech overreach

Michael Barone explains why the odd machinations of the Obama administration in scheduling a jobs speech are probably far more revealing than anything that the speech, itself, may contain.

Update: Happy Belabor Day! Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. - who I am strongly tempted to hope follows in the footsteps of his old man - engages in a bit of rabble-rousing at an Obama rally in Detroit.

More from Legal Insurrection, including a hilarious Tweet from James Taranto.

Update II: We're barbarians.

Interesting indeed. No wonder the leftie spin doctors were spinning so madly after Obama was smacked down by Boehner. O! is a weak president, and they know it.

Don't you love that photo of Jay Carney and his sour, pinched-up mouth? I reckon that's the prevalent attitude in Obama's White House.

People get that look from eating a whole lot of s**t, Rebecca. So one can say that he's earned it.

White House spokesman says: "No comment" about Hoffa's remarks.

Not surprising.

It's not like the sentiment Hoffa expressed is far removed from that which The Dick expressed when he took the stage.

I'm sure that Jimmy Hoffa is a peace loving guy who just wants to beat the crap out of anyone standing in his way.

He just needs to work on his messaging, is all.

Re Update II: Thanks, Joe. I guess those hair plugs were inserted deeper than necessary.

O/T but of good cheer: YAYS!!!!!!!
