House denies President to Speak (1986) or Pork I failed why will Pork II be better?
Thank you Speaker Speaker Thomas "Tip" O'Neil for starting the trend
WSJ:
But on a serious note,
why should the American people believe that Papa Obama can get it right
this time on a "Pork II" ?
People might believe him more if he was willing to put everything on the table
including his faux legacy of Papa ObamaCare

WSJ:
The June 24, 1986, edition of The Wall Street Journal featured a story headlined, "President's Bid to Address the House On Nicaragua Is Rejected by Speaker." That's right, no quibbling over the date and time, just a flat-out rejection. In that case, President Ronald Reagan wanted to address the House before its critical vote on funding for the anti-communist "Contra" rebels in Nicaragua. Then-Speaker Thomas "Tip" O'Neil said that he was willing to host a Reagan speech if it was expanded to include the Senate in a joint session, or he would allow the President to speak to the House alone if the President would also agree to take questions from lawmakers. Otherwise, there would be no Reagan speech in the House chamber. Reagan already had the votes to prevail in the Senate, and Mr. O'Neil wanted to avoid having the spotlight turned on the House, which would make him and his colleagues accountable to the public if Contra aid were rejected.
