Jobs' Speech Timing Kerfuffle Again Shows Boehner's Political Priorities

So John Boehner closes off President Obama's access to a Joint Session speech on jobs for 24 hours so a small-audience Republican pre-primary debate can air without presidential and real-issue competition.

Another delay on the job front?

In Boehner's world, that's no big deal, as Obama's failure, regardless of the cost to the nation, and sticking it to Obama whenever possible, is the GOP's Job #1.

Politics first, substance second.

Maybe the Republicans can use the extra day to end the financial blockade that Eric Cantor, Boehner's top lieutenant, has erected in front of Hurricane Irene victims.
