Waiting for Obama to make his way down the center aisle, they stood before the House and had a talk – not about jobs, but about golf.<br /><br />“Seven birdies, five bogies,” Boehner reported to Biden.<br /><br />“You’re kidding me!” the vice president said.<br /><br />“I missed a 4-foot straight-on birdie on the last hole,” Boehner said of another round.<br /><br />“Whoa!” the vice president said.<br /><br />“So, the next day,” Boehner went on, “I shoot an 86! Ha, ha, ha!”<br /><br />“That’s incredible,” the vice president said.<br /><br />Obama rose to the occasion with a bold jobs proposal that delighted liberals but also had elements conservatives grudgingly endorsed. Yet long before the speech, both sides had concluded it didn’t much matter: Obama has become too weak to enact anything big enough to do much good.<br /><br />“I thought it was a great speech,” said Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) But the odds of Obama getting his plan through Congress “are probably as good as the Nationals winning the league this year.”<br /><br />Presidential addresses to Congress are often dramatic moments. This one felt like a sideshow. Usually, the press gallery is standing room only; this time only 26 of 90 seats were claimed by the deadline. Usually, some members arrive in the chamber hours early to score a center-aisle seat; 90 minutes before Thursday’s speech, only one Democrat was so situated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-91281047779219151062011-09-09T02:40:08.176-04:002011-09-09T02:40:08.176-04:00Deuce said..I found Obama's speech another col...Deuce said..<i>I found Obama's speech another cold bowl of his vapid lumpy gruel and not worthy of discussion.</i><br /><br />When you put all of Bush's spending together with all of Obama's, the trillions we've spent at least get us one nugget of pure bipartisan truth: we know for certain that this Keynesian nonsense is pure bunk.<br /><br />Incidentally, anyone else find it mildly ironic that they're asking for more money by telling us they didn't know what they were doing when they got the first lump of cash?
