ok so it's not really my prediction, it's from some guy on the radio.... from cape giradeau MO.... you know old whats his name. this prediction is about the prez and his speach and how this is going to shape up politically.
first of all NPR started setting up the idea that the pres is 'up against the ropes' and being 'battered around' by the repubs for having to reschedule his joint session of congress campaign speach.
no mention that the original time/date was the republicans debate
now maxine waters was on the sunday talk shows setting the stage by hoping the prez will go big, ask for spending of at least one trillion dollars (they have spent how much? and they want more?)
so here is the big prediction; Obama will ask for something wildly ludicrous, the repubs will say not just 'no' but 'are you high?' Obama will then have what he needs to run against the repubs, by saying;
the repubs are 'obstructionists'
they don't want you to get back to work
they want granny to eat dog food.
and probably a few others I can't think of at this time.
sound a tired old play book to me, but why switch horses in mid stream?
