White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest is warning that President Barack Obama would veto any spending bill that prohibits federal funds from being spent to enact Obama's executive amnesty. That means Obama is willing to shut down the government to preserve his executive amnesty.
When asked if Obama would veto a bill that prohibits federal funds from being spent to enact his executive amnesty, Earnest simply replied: "yes."
When asked if that would mean Obama is willing to shut down the government if Congress passes a funding bill that would "tie the president's hands" on executive amnesty, Earnest spun and said, "I actually don’t believe that members of Congress are going to be willing to go along with an effort to shut down the government over the president’s executive action on immigration." Congress must pass a new spending bill by December 11.
Earnest was not as clear about Obama's intentions before Obama announced his executive amnesty. On November 20, Earnest was asked, "So you don't rule out the President signing into law something that would undo the very thing he’s going to announce tomorrow night?" He responded then, "Well, I think that seems--I think we'll have to sort of evaluate for ourselves what sort of proposals Republicans put forward, so I wouldn't want to hazard a guess at this point. But it won't surprise you to hear proposals that are floated like that certainly would not be among the kinds of proposals we’d support."

As Reagan said “Let’s shut it down, and see if anyone notices”
Damn! I don’t remember a dictator being elected. When did that happen?
Just. Do. It.
FUBO!!
This is exactly what the GOP needs. Make the Kenyan shut it down this time. When all the Yosemite sleigh ride riders get pissed, they can call Barry to complain.
We must have a showdown with a dictator. Let’s see if Congress learned anything from the elections.
So, Obama is willing to shut down the country over amnesty for illegals? And a majority of the country is against amnesty?
I say Go For It!
How will the MSM spin that one?
RE: Obama Will Shut Down Gov’t if Congress Defunds Exec Amnesty
I don’t know about you folks, but that is SWEET MUSIC to my ears.
Guess that does it, ‘cuz once that quote was delivered to bonehead, he assumed the Bawney Fwank position with a smile and awaited the Obamadork’s entrance.
(Sorry for the grossness, but when we’re talking liberals, nothing, NOTHING, will reach depths of depravity unexplored by the slime that is liberalism.)
And Bonehead is one of N RINO buttboys (where N is a large number).
The teener in the White Hut will throw a tantrum for not getting his way.
If the GOP blinks on this one, I’m done with them. Grow a pair and stand up to this SOB.
The gubmit was shut down from Thursday to Monday and nobody noticed.
Barry's ripe for taking any fallout from that action, as a large majority of citizens are against his Executive Amnesty. Republicans just need to make sure everyone knows essential employees will stay on no matter what and that entitlement checks will continue to go out as usual.

Congress has the right and the responsibility, to protect the balance of power.
Let Obama shut everything down.
Do it, Obemba! Do it! Shut it down for a year or more.....two years even! Then we will be rid of you forever!
This is a bluff from zero.
I have a feeling both houses will re-vote on a veto-proof majority if Obama vetoes it and takes the heat.
Then it gets really fun.
Does Earnest actually ooze a trail of slime wherever he walks? Or does it just seem like he should...?
To the foreign enemy combatant in the White House:
Bring it!
