Why are the Republicans have a PREACTION press conference to Obama's budget speech as opposed to. .

[wndycty]

. . .a reaction press conference?

Are they trying to get out in front of him. Control the message because once he speaks their job is tougher.

Think about it, they are fighting him before he throws a punch, they must be scared.

[polichick]

1. Yeah, they're scared he won't cave quick enough for the nightly news...

Or maybe they're terrified that he'll support and fight for the progressive caucus plan.

2. Yes, they ARE trying to control the message. They are also...

...posting that the speech is tonight INSTEAD of this afternoon (1:35pm ET)..... hoping that many viewers will miss it.

4. Once any of their "plans" are exposed for the crap it is...

they scurry away like roaches when the lights come on.

They have no one to compete with PO, they know this, who will they send out, Boehner? He's a blithering idiot. Cantor? He's as bad as a used car salesman.

"Pre-rebuttable"..."won't support any tax hikes".

These clowns are going to be tumbling out of the car on this one...:rofl:

[Logical]

5. Because they have a united message and fear their base. n-t

[tanyev]

6. Didn't that backfire on them once before?

Can't remember which speech, though. Obama's speech didn't go the way they thought and whoever gave the prebuttal looked like an idiot. More of an idiot, that is.
