Nice work. Now he’s ticked off Cheesehead Nation.
The NFL is grumbling that Obama’s spending jobs speech may interfere with their planned pre-game activities.
WSAU reported, via Free Republic:
NBC Television and the White House are in ongoing discussions over coverage of President Obama’s jobs speech and the NFL kick-off between the Packers and Saints.
Yesterday the White House announced that the presidential address would be over before kickoff at 7:30 next Thursday. But NBC was also planning to show extensive pre-game coverage, including some live concerts outside Lambeau Field about an hour before the game.
Many Wisconsin NBC affiliates want the network to offer feeds of both the NFL pre-game and the president’s speech, and let the local channels decide which one to carry. NBC has also sold out its pre-game sponsorships for the NFL opener — money that might be refunded to the advertisers if the broadcast plans change.
The pre-game activities might be moved to the NFL Network — with the game itself staying on NBC.

Very good Mark.
No Man commented:
No! Why can’t they broadcast the game and air the failed, divisive loser on CNN and MSLSD?
ilikai commented:
Who cares about the speech, you can catch it on at least 5 other channels so let NBC show the pre-game show, I bet it gets bettter numbers than the Obamanation does.
Scott Dawson commented:
He should do the speech between 12-3PM today. He can crash the stock market a little more and also ruin our weekends.

nobody wants to hear the lies that come from his teleprompter at any time of day
Gini commented:
Let Obama speak on CNN – no one look at that channel anyway.
Chris in N.Va. commented:
Gee, forced to choose between the NFL vs the WTF mob; theater of the gridiron vs Twilight Zone theater of the absurd; ice cream sundae vs root canal with no anesthetic…
Wow, how to choose, how to choose? Decisions, decisions.
Further proof that Obama, from his very drawing his first political breath at the Bill Ayers Midwife Clinic living room, has been in eternal campaign mode, his staff and sycophant-suck-up groupies in full-on, in-your-face Chicago Political Brass Knuckles mode 24x7x365, utterly tone-deaf to the real world.

Maybe he could give us “a cliff notes version” during a commercial break?

too bad for the NFL.
Corky Boyd commented:
Why should NBC carry the President’s speech? It is being carried on every other channel by all of the broadcast and cable networks.
The NFL should insist its contract with NBC be honored and pregame coverage broadcast.
John commented:
The NFL and NBC shelled out some big bucks toput the pre-game show together. Next to the Super Bowl halftime show, it’s the most elaborate entertainment effort the NFL does each season, since they moved the season openers to Thursday night, and is designed to goose the ratings even higher by attracting non-football fans to the broadcast.
Even as liberal as the suits at NBC/GE/Comcast are in their support for Obama, they’ve got to be ticked off about this screw-up.
AcadieAnne commented:
It’s all about Obama, yet again. I hope he’s rooting for GB. Who dat!
Reisist we much! commented:
Since some of us aren’t able to stomach listening to teh one’s arrogant stuttering, if NBC were to stream the contents of the teleprompter across the bottom of the screen, I could ignore it just as easliy as not listening to it.
There, I fixed it!

Proof how Stupid President ZerO is. . .
Can’t even manage to lead a simple scheduling matter & process. . .
As for his job speech. . . put it in writing first! Specifics needed. . as well as how much it will cost and where to get money to pay for it. . .
In the meantime, I will be watching the game. . Go Pack Go! Yes a cheer for the Green Bay Packers. .but also what Obama should be doing. .Packing it up. .he is the Worst President ever. . .
Zero fiddled while the US burned. . .let’s not allow history to repeat itself. . .
Jimmer commented:
NFL was profitable; that must bother Obama, not as much as the Republicans, but enough for a secondary target. Besides, all those football fans obviously need a good talking to.
dwd commented:
Pretty funny! He can’t take a step in any direction without annoying someone, costing someone money, or otherwise creating problems. Maybe the media will finally get their eyes opened–he could have made this speech ANY DAY, he could have moved the speech UP and done it the day BEFORE the Republican debate, but instead he’s going to cost NBC ad revenue during the pregame. Gotta love it that NBC (and by extension, GE) is the network getting hurt by this!
big L commented:
Jeff Immelt runs GE which owns all or most of NBC. So as he is a bud or Obama, the pressure was on to cover the Obamster
