When I extended an invitation on January 3rd for you to deliver the State of the Union address, it was on the mutually agreed upon date, January 29th. At that time, there was no thought that the government would still be shut down.
In my further correspondence of January 16th, I said we should work together to find a mutually agreeable date when government has re-opened and I hope that we can still do that.
I am writing to inform you that the House of Representatives will not consider a concurrent resolution authorizing the President’s State of the Union address in the House Chamber until government has opened.
Again, I look forward to welcoming you to the House on a mutually agreeable date for this address when government has been opened.

Dear Mr. President:
When I extended an invitation on January 3rd for you to deliver the State of the Union address, it was on the mutually agreed upon date, January 29th. At that time, there was no thought that the government would still be shut down.
In my further correspondence of January 16th, I said we should work together to find a mutually agreeable date when government has re-opened and I hope that we can still do that.
I am writing to inform you that the House of Representatives will not consider a concurrent resolution authorizing the President’s State of the Union address in the House Chamber until government has opened.
Again, I look forward to welcoming you to the House on a mutually agreeable date for this address when government has been opened.
Sincerely,
NANCY PELOSI
Speaker of the House

Wow. Only four upvotes for the actual substance of the letter. The rest of these clowns are distracted by the distraction.
Now what? Where do you go from here?
Oh yeah, you guys don't have to worry about things like that. You just sit there and wait for other people to figure it out for you, right?
Dammit. I didn't want to get mad on the Internet, again. Anyways, have another upvote, good goat.

Oh. Kindred spirit. "Distracted by the distraction..."
"...didn't want to get mad on the internet again." I feel you brother/sister.
