Will you watch the Obama Job Speech or the GOP debate?

As some of you may know, the Obama admin. decided to schedule it's job speech in front of the joint session of Congress at the same time the GOP has it's Presidential debate. What I would like to know, because it's clear the Obama admin. did this on purpose, is whether you will watch the debate or the speech?

I'm a little torn. I want to watch his jobs speech, but I don't really have too much faith that he's going to put forth something we haven't heard about before. While on the other hand, I've always liked the GOP debates, and this one will include Rick Perry.

What are you going to do, OT?

Here's a SOURCE as well.

Edit: Obama caved into Speaker Boehner's demands and has changed the date of the speech so it no longer coincides with the Republican debate but conflicts with the NFL's first game of the reason.

When is the GOP debate?DroidPhysX

I believe the 5th.

Hmmm... listening to a bunch of quacks debate who don't believe in evolution, or listen to someone promise a better future when he has no control over such. I'm sure I can find better use of my time.Engrish_Major

I voted neither.

neither will have anything relevant to say.

I believe the 5th.

Definitely the debate. Obama speeches have been unbelievably boring and underwhelming.

I think the last one I really liked was the "We killed Osama" one. I mean, he's my President too, I watch and listen to him when he talks, but I have no strong urge to hear about more stimulus.

The political scene in the US is becoming really sad and grim. When people stop believing anyone in the political machine and lose faith in it, you know that it hit the bottom.GazaAli

Everything goes hand in hand with the economy. When the economy does better, people normally feel better about things.

The debate. Speeches tend to be rather inconsequential. Am interested to read about what the jobs bill push will entail, though. Will likely read about it in the coming weeks.

Who are you most interested in, again, CB?

I'll play video games. I know how both will go...

Obama:

"I know times are tough, but if we all come together as Americans we'll get through it blah blah blah"

GOP Debate:

"Herp derp abortion. Herp derp gay marriage. Herp derp Jesus. Herp derp tax decrease for my buddies. Derp derp derp"

Most likely neither. I already have a good idea about how each are going to play out. -Sun_Tzu-

Really? I would think you would be all over the speech.

tivo one and watch the other.

Neither but the speech sounds more important.

When is the Republican debate exactly? Either way I will try and watch both but if it comes down to it I will watch the debate, Obama has had a ton of job speeches and they are all the same, all talk and no substance. He just says "I have a plan to create jobs" but he never says what his plan is, and so far it doesn't look like it's working too well.

I'm not expecting too much from the GOP debate either, there are so many far right quacks in there like Perry and Bachman that I fear they will over shadow the other candidataes, I do hope though that Jon Huntsmen is in there. That guy actually has real experience and his state of Utah is the MOST succsessful state in job growth, also he is willing to put aside partisan BS and work together.

Other than that I'm not really expecting a whole lot from either the debate or Obama, it's a shame that we don't demand better politicians in this country.

Meaning who do I want to win? The candidates I find acceptable are Huntsman, Romney and Paul. Romney is the only one who has a shot in both the primary and the actual election, IMO. Things could change, though.

The real reason I am watching it, however, is to see how Perry holds up. I'm curious to see if his competitors will attack him.

neither, it isn't that I don't care, so much as neither will sway what I think about politics - besides, I watch enough news that I'll get the highlights at another time.

I would have to go with Job Speech since I'm a college graduate without a job.Pittfan666

Unfortunately this is quite common, I'm a college student currently but alot of my friends who graduated can't get anything, to be fair though some of them do have useless degrees.

I don't know yet.

If I watch the speech, it will be to see if he finally goes big or if he does the same thing he always does by only proposing what he thinks the republicans won't block.

If I do watch the debate, I'll invite my friends over for a drinking game where we'll take shots every time someone says something about taxes or how Obama has failed.

We have the same candidates in mind CB, Huntsman is the guy I REALLY want to be fhe GOP front man, Romney I think is so-so but he is a little too flip floppy formy tastes, still he is better than some of the other options, and Ron Paul is very honest and while I do think some of his ploicies go a little too far, he is still better than alot of the other candidates out there. Unfortunately he doesn't get much support...

Basically, Huntsman can't win the primary. That's the main problem. He also has little name recognition and a small fundraising base. I'd say that four years from now, he would be an ace.

The libertarian in me is partial to Ron Paul in spite of some of his policies that I am very disinclined to support. (i.e.: End the Fed) I don't see him winning the actual election, though.

The debates haven't been like that at all.

I'll never watch anything political on TV. it's pretty much pointless to watch overpaid people talk about how they can make the country better without actually doing it. and then at the end, Obama will announce yet another vacation since his 10 day vacation was cut short 1 day. and he'll be taking his secret service bus instead of flying in a plane. he might as well swing from vines in the trees to get there.

EDIT: speaking of the debate.. i couldn't watch the last one because my dog kept losing his mind every time the ding went off for the time limit. he thought it was the doorbell over and over and over and would sprint to the door and bark. stupid dog.

I voted neither.

neither will have anything relevant to say.

i agree with this

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"]When is the GOP debate?airshocker

I believe the 5th.

Neither, I have better stuff to do.

I'll catch the speech online or just read a summary about it.

I'll probably switch between the two. But only because I expect the GOP debate to be hilarious. Bachmann and Parry will be there, right?

Neither. I used to listen to that BS but then I finally realised that when elected, even with the Presidency and large majorities in the House and Senate, they still had no intention of pursuing the agenda that got them there in the first place. Business as usual - more trillions in debt, more promises, more blaming it on the other guys.

Neither, both mean nothing to me...plus isnt Obama's speech about jobs? How many times is he going to talk about that?

Actually they had to choose between doing it on Wednesday during the NFL season opener, or doing it on Thursday, during the debate. Or push it back until next week. Something about the House needing more time to prepeare for it....I don't know, I'll probably switch back and forth.
