DAMN those Congressional Republicans! Forcing us to live without the wisdom and daily guidance of the Dear Leader!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOO HOOOOOOO TO BAD FOR O BOO BOO.
if that’s what it takes to shut the halfbreed illegal alien squatting in the white hut, shut it down forever!!!
This idiot is JUST like a spoilt brat having a temper tantrum!!!
One thing after another and now he’s not gonna talk to us anymore until he gets his way...
And like the brat, he’s just played his last card.
I supposed he could go on t.v. and announce that he will hold his breath until the Republicans cave...
“implored Republicans” Beg for it Barry, that’s the ticket.
Pathetic.
it’s a damn party...
Is he giving up his golfing photo-ops? If so, then I’ll try to take him seriously.
Now, if Michelle stayed away from 2,500 calorie restaurant meals, I’d take her seriously too. NOT!
You can’t take this commie and his “mommy” seriously except for anything he does pertaining to implementing his marxist policies (which is everything he does in the “RED” House).
Meanwhile, I’m going to file for unemployment money. At least I worked until this week, unlike many of Obie’s low-education moochers and welfare addicts.
..... Well Mr. President ...... MILLIONS of private sector people are now permanently out of work because of you brilliant fiscal and sociopolitical policies ..... do you want us to shed a tear now ... or should we wait until you are finally out of office?
You've got that right - and to think that he is actually older than I am.
what’s the bad news?
Wow. We don’t have to see that pompous ass on TV? This only gets better.
He can’t find enough government employees to stand in the back ground so as to make it appear they were all just dying to be there to support him.. HA! If they, didn’t show up they’d be black-balled.
Where’s the Mr. Bill Oh-Nos gif?
Did he cancel any fund raisers????
The shut down is worth it if it just shuts down His Arrogance and his annoying “speechifying”.
