To paraphrase Michael Brown's stepfather: Shut this female dog down!!!!!

[faithhopecharity]

Is that a threat -— or a promise?

[rockinqsranch]

Shut ‘er down. Shove it in his face.

[ChicagahAl]

Cursive

Winner!!!!!

Obama demands to stay in office indefinitely or he’ll shut down the government, GOP caves. (News from late 2016)

Obama will not go quietly

[Michael.SF.]

Defund Air Force One, as soon as the Mooch finds out, 0bama will fold like a cheap suit.

The nervous-nelly RINOs will not carry out this plan. Boehner and the establishment RINOs want what Bath House did, so why would they stop his power grab? They might make a perfunctory attempt to stop Bath House, for show only, but they will eventually cave in.

Let him! Then make sure to shout it from every rooftop until we hear it in our sleep that he is the one personally responsible for any shutdown, and see how much good that does him and his party. He doesn’t have as much power as he thinks he has, as long as the people we just elected “man up” and do what they were specifically hired to do - make the govt function and stop the stupidity we’ve been buckling under.

Eh. Obama is still sitting in the Turnip Patch waiting for The Great Turnip to come and give him a magic turnip.

[Mouton]

I agree, when a guy leads with his chin, let him.

[MNDude]

He will veto anything except the whole budget he wants. And what do you think John Boehner will do?

[Reno89519]

So? If Obama insists on shutting down the government for the sake of millions of illegal aliens, let that be by his action or inaction. Give the choice, I would rather the government be shut down instead of giving amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

[morphing libertarian]

Great news! The longer the better

[5thGenTexan]

So, who will the voting public blame this time?

The media will blame Republicans, and they will drink it like Kool aid, as usual.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Call his bluff.

[Always A Marine]

If they need a CR, pass one for two month period. Then pass the new budget as regular order... pass the budget one part at a time. the last part Homeland Security minus a budget for implementation of executive order. Make Obama veto ALL the parts of the budget... Damn, do I have to do all their thinking for them. Idiot Republicans.

That is precisely how the budget should be written and passed -- one department at a time. "Omnibus" budgets are nothing but cover for what everyone in Washington wants, which is unlimited spending with no fingerprints and zero accountability. The GOP knows this, but what they are proving by their actions is that they want exactly what the Democrats want; their only argument is over which party gets to hand out the loot. Damn them all!

“Obama will not go quietly”

Yup. 2 things:

1. He thinks this is Venezuela.
2. He has no intention of leaving office.

[Bullish]

Republicans haven’t played any ‘hardball’ since Gingrich in the 90s. Don’t let’s get our hopes up that they’ve suddenly grown some stones.

[Breto]

Hilarious, huh?

They win the election but he kicks them around.

Puh-Thetic

It is the Republican way. For the next two year you will hear “we cant jeopardize the 2016 election” as the most used excuse for cowards act of the day. The Republican couldn’t care less about the country or the people they are only interested in themselves and their pathetic party.
