“Oh oh, I hear the sound of crunching bones. Oh, it’s nothing. It’s just the spines of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell falling apart as usual.”

No crunching. Jello is silent.

In his weekly address, the president touted this week’s data showing the U.S. added more than 200,000 jobs in November, bringing the 2014 total to 2.6 million jobs. That progress, Mr. Obama added, could be undone if Congress fails to pass legislation to fund the government past Dec. 11.

No one has suggested Congress won't pass a bill...It's up to Obama whether he accepts the passed bill...If he refuses, a gov't shutdown is on him, not Congress...

These folks never stop.

As far as I’m concerned they can shut down January as well.

A##wipe who lost his shorts in November is still dictating and the GOP cowers and tries to find common ground to reach across the isle. We made a terrible mistake electing these clowns back in It would have been better to watch the house of cards crash and burn and the rats own it than listen to the sucking sound coming from the GOP camp

Christmas shutdown sounds good. Better than passing Obolacare at midnite on Dec 24.

No men nor their possessions are safe when Congress is in session.

All the bloated corrupt fedgov employees are secretly hoping their corrupt ruling class bosses shut down it down..

Like last time, they’ll all get even more fedgov paid days off....

Whispers of “bring it on” can be heard in all the upscale eateries surrounding D.C...

Shut the government down. Don’t pay the “workers” for the time off. I know...that will never happen.

2.6 million, out of 11 million plus not working is good???

Shut down, save the taxpayers some money, give the fed employees who voted for the QIC heartburn, and see ya after New year’s!

...warned Saturday that positive economic trends would be reversed by a “Christmas shutdown”...

Translation: A shutdown (engineered by Dims and blamed on Repubs) would cause a temporary cessation of the cooked numbers that Wall Street knowingly uses to manipulate the markets to ensure that the really rich are able to milk the huge amounts of fake money being pumped in.
