(Headline Only) Oct 2, 2015 President Obama: I Will Not Sign 'Short-Sighted' Spending Bill To Keep Government Open.

[Steelfish]

Will Boehner Cry and McConnell hide in his shell?

[gov_bean_ counter]

He just did. Tool.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

Let him veto it

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Translation: I will shut down the government and lie by saying you did it.

[skeeter]

“Short sighted” = anything shorter than the balance of his term.

[2banana]

Let him veto it and shut down the government.

Once a week, the republicans send the same spending bill with 1% cut from it.

Let him veto it over and over.

The “optics” will crush him.

Republicans - GET A SPINE!!!!

Well ... if he feels that way, why doesn’t he just resign ?

[JoSixChip]

I believe this is what is called throwing down the gauntlet. Any takers?

[Vision Thing]

Ha! homobama just told boner and McCompromised to ESAD.

[Meadow Muffin]

If Boner crys any more, that fake tan he has will start to run. McConnell is still looking for the rest room.

Republicans will fold in 5..4...3...2....

[cweese]

"Will Boehner Cry and McConnell hide in his shell?"

Yes and yes.

[Jim Robinson]

Shut it down and leave it shut down (except for “essential services”) until January 20, 2017.

[jafojeffsurf]

So let me get this straight, obama wants to shut the government down???

Of course it really is part of the boehner and mcconnell game where they now give in and pass more than a gap measure to ensure we spend much more than what we have and ensure that Congress under Real Leadership does not try to Stop the MADNESS!!!!

It Will Not WORK!

The Enemy is within and until we deal with that Enemy we will Never be able to Deal with the Enemy’s outside the Nation!

[Sasparilla]

Many Americans are furious with Zer0’s incompetence. Let him shut down the government. His excuses don’t mean much anymore.

[joshua c]

Obama is partisan.

[HarleyLady27]

Oh well, we republicans get blamed for everything anyways, so go ahead and shut it down, send everyone home...

Keep it shut down until we have the election, then in January 2017 open it back up....good way to save money, no electricity, water, gas....

[BlueStateRightist]

Perhaps all Kabuki theatre. Boehner, Turtle and Obama script this stuff way in advance to make them all feel good and play well to their constituencies. BTW, the 3 of them all play for the same team.

[Artemis Webb]

"Translation: I will shut down the government and lie by saying you did it."

You are EXACTLY right!
And the media will run with his version as gospel.

[ConorMacNessa]

I subjected myself to the mind-numbing ordeal of listening to his press conference this afternoon and all I can say is that it was like a dream sequence - rambling, self-laudatory and full of digression into matters not relevant to the question.

I'd love to see this guy subjected to a skillful cross-examination where his responses would be limited to "yes" and "no."

Alas, it will not happen in our lifetime.
