Oh. My. God.: Obama's Joint Speech To Congress Will Only Be Part of His Plan

This is "lowering expectations," of course. Having raised them so high, Obama now finds himself in the uncomfortable position of having demanded a dramatic national stage... and having not much at all to say.

So how does he get out of this jam? Well, he's claiming the Great Big Speech he made such a jackass fuss over is just one of a series of Great Big Speeches. And so he can console disappointed listeners with the claim, "But all my best stuff is coming later."

Right. Save the really good stuff for an impromptu meet and greet at a Harris Teeter in Virginia. A nationally televised speech before a joint session of Congress is naturally where you'd want to to just talk about your weaker ideas.

Aides say Thursday's speech will be part of a bigger plan the White House will roll out throughout the fall with the president hitting the road for speeches and town hall appearances. Aides have already confirmed that Obama will be traveling to California, Colorado, and Washington state for one three-day swing later this month that will include economic events as well as some fundraising.

Again, seems like there's only one job he's really fussed about "saving."

Hey, maybe this guy is simply unqualified.
