3. Wonder if Boner will cry

Whatever he says I'm pretty sure he'll blame Obama. I don't think there's really much point in watching his speech.

Boner is a disingenuous snot.

10. If he's planning to immediately follow ...

Either they're announcing an agreement, or they're worried the president is pissed off and ready to delivery a fiery speech.

13. Since when does the Speaker of the House "address the nation"?

As a member of the House, Boehner represents his district. As Speaker, he presides over the House.

The president represents the whole nation, so it is appropriate for him to address the country.
