And yet he will blame the TEA Party for the shutdown he ordered.

Gee, Democrats could claim they Shutdown the Government. Cool!

[sport]

Good! Make him veto it.

Those democrats, so beholden to their ideology, will shut down the government to protect federally funded abortion and EPA tyranny.

[K-Stater]

What difference will one more week make? Shut it down tomorrow or shut it down a week from tomorrow, it’s still going to get shut down before a deal is struck.

I don't know what else the GOP could do, besides this. Still, it probably won't be enough to keep them from taking the brunt of the blame.

Every media outlet, late-night comic and morning & daytime chat show is going to blame the GOP for the (looming) shut-down, and that will probably be enough to make it stick. Americans are disengaged morons, and they believe what the media tells them, still.

[Lazamataz]

We should MAKE him veto it.

Then the bleats of "Da Wepubwicans Shut It Down" will fall a little flat, even to the ears of the State Run Media.

Shut - it - down !!

Shut - it - down !!

SHUT - IT - DOWN !!

SHUT - IT - DOWN !!

Sounds like Obama is saying, “My way or the highway.”

What’s the point of Reid and Boehner negotiating if Obama’s just going to veto the thing?

[Principled]

What part of “We won, you lost” the House does Zero not get?
