Walsh says he was 'offended' by joint congressional session | |
September 09, 2011 U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh stuck to his guns and skipped President Barack Obama's jobs speech to a joint session of Congress on Thursday night. Walsh said he boycotted the speech — a move that garnered national attention — because he was "offended" by Obama's request for a joint session, something the congressman said should be reserved for more significant occasions.
