The Republicans say: "We will fund everything but Obamacare." The President says: "If you don't fund Obamacare, I won't let anything be funded and it will be your fault." The threat is all his.

Take the vote and shove it to him.

The risk is, there just may be enough RINOs who would support the so-called "clean" CR to pass the d*mn thing. Not a risk worth taking....

Somebody needs to remind Barry that he doesn’t run the House of Representatives. He’s confusing America with some African turd world country again. We don’t do kings and dictators here.

As more and more people hear the Obamacare horror stories, support for Obamacare will go down. Hang in there, Pubbies!

If the senate would just vote on the clean CRs that the house has sent, most of the government would be open for business already.

And I still can’t believe how that idiot Chuck Hagel gets away with what he did, unncessarily throwing 400,000 people out of work for a week, when they actually HAD funding.

Instead, they make him sound like a hero for “bringing them back” — when they should never have been gone.

“Mr. Obama dared Mr. Boehner to hold a vote”

well lookee lookee, the “Great Uniter” is at it for another day

his obnoxious behavior is actually making it easier for Boehner to do the right thing

Hmmm...listen Zero: you are the Executive ONLY.

You execute the wishes of the People. You do NOT get to demand squat.
The zerocare debate is not partisan its a matter of fairness for WE the American People who are faced with higher premiums, lower service levels and larger deductibles to pay for your voters.Scru dat!

Everyone up there is too scared to say it but I am not: Eff off.

“Providing fairness to the American people, under Obamacare, is all we’re asking for,” he said

So fair that congress doesn't have to be on it?

Today, Rasmussen released poll results on Obamacare: "A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters have at least a somewhat favorable opinion of the health care law, while 49% view it unfavorably. This includes 23% with a Very Favorable opinion and 38% with a Very Unfavorable one."

Obama demands quick House vote on shutdown

Fake Constitutional scholar is showing his profound ignorance.
He can demand until he's blue in the face, This is NOT "the hood."

Some things have not changed, since the creation of the Republic : The three branches are coequal, but have always been viewed in order of priority to achieve the traditional roles of governance. Legislature, Executive and Judicial, in that order.

The House has always been viewed as the body closest to the ultimate authority, We The People.
They need neither your permission nor your approval.
The House is also the ONLY and final body which may initiate revenue Bills and Laws.

Deal with it, Barry.

To the House : Do your job. 5 years of no budget shouldn't create a panic for the GOP. We KNOW who disdains the rule of law and the provisions of the Constitution.

STAND FIRM!

No no no no no no. He didn’t care about Republican votes when they “deemed” ObamaScare passed, they wouldn’t allow Republican input when this monstrocity was drawn up-it’s all theirs now, and needs to remain so. He’s just trying to share the blame now that ObamaScare is being shown to be the fiasco we always knew that it was.

I did notice. Public opinion must be with the Republicans, or they’d be stirring up “shutdown fever” with gusto.

He has no right to demand a vote. He’s talking like a dictator.

From the article:

“Some Republican lawmakers dispute the speaker’s assessment of the likely vote tally, saying there are probably enough bipartisan votes to approve a short-term budget without addressing Obamacare or any other legislation.”

***

So who are these “some lawmakers” and those “bipartisan” reps who would vote for this? I want to know...so they can be voted out next time they are up for re-election.
