I don’t think this will go far. The king will veto it and then Congress will once again fold.

Obama vetoing it?

this is just another bill that will be D.O.A in the Senate.
Do any of you out there think Harry Reid will allow it’s passage? Hell, I seriously doubt he will allow it to get out of committee. If it gets that far.

This is exactly where any House leader out of diapers can and has to win, even with a closed (ahem!) Federal Government.

The House simply needs to pass the same bill, again and again, until hell freezes over and send it back.

Any congressional leader who can't sell to the citizens what they already know, that the government is waging war on them, should do us all a favor and follow Boehner. He or she can also state the obvious, "We didn't shut the doors. Obama did. Go ask him why."
