Scheduling controversy

[edit]

I would like to keep the section on the scheduling controversy. It has received extensive converge in the American media. And I find it very notable and significant (or depending on your point of view, an indictment on both American culture and politics) that a U.S. Presidential speech had to be scheduled to avoid conflicts with both an opposing party's debate and a football game. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 01:20, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?

[edit]
Merge into American Jobs Act to include a small mention of this. This really isn't as big of a deal as the media has made it. Frankly, this is a better description. A paragraph at most, but definitely its own article. upstateNYer 13:20, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Merge into American Jobs Act. The sooner, the better. -- Scjessey (talk) 14:33, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will concede that there is significantly less activity on this subject as it was two years ago, whether the number edits and discussion comments by Wikipedians, or coverage in the media. That usually is a good indication of whatever long-term importance or significance it will have in the future. Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:13, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
