Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson condemned members of the “extreme right wing” of the Republican Party for holding the nation “hostage” during the government shutdown because they oppose the Affordable Care Act.
“They have an extreme dislike for President Obama, and are willing to do anything to halt the effectiveness of his presidency,” Johnson wrote in a statement to the suburban Dallas Focus Daily News on Friday.
“Their behavior is not political, it is personal!”
The congresswoman went on about the huge impact the shutdown has on the nation. She complained of hundreds of thousands of furloughed employees, damage to businesses relying on government contracts, and harm to veterans and hospital patients. Even the American food supply in danger, she said, due to the suspension of food inspections. Overall, Johnson stated, the shutdown is doing “severe” damage to the economy’s recovery.
“There are reasonable members in both political parties who would vote to open the government tomorrow if a bill was allowed to come to the floor of the House, ” Johnson wrote, “But the extremists are making all types of threats and insisting that such a vote not take place.”
Johnson argued that a majority of the American people voted for President Obama in 2012, and by doing so, they showed support of Obamacare, his signature health-care initiative.
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, meanwhile, said Friday in a speech to the Values Voters Summit that “We are engaged in a national debate about the enormous harms “Obamacare” is causing, all of the millions of Americans who are losing their jobs, being pushed into part-time work, losing their health insurance.” He urged House Republicans to keep “standing strong” and “listening to the American people.”
Projection. Obama is the one acting petty and personal about all this
Make up your mind. Are we ideologues or are we motivated by personal rancor? Cannot be both.
As usual, it’s the left who is doing what they accuse others of doing. It’s Obama who has a personal beef with America.

The last I heard, he was the president.
I never heard of this Johnson broad, but I’m getting sick and tired of hearing the word “extreme” or “extremist” used to describe the TEA Party.
Conservatives should throw these same words back in the swarmy faces of the dems, because they are the most extreme scumbags in American history and their policies are programs are destroying America.
Johnson is an anus.
““Their behavior is not political, it is personal!”

Of course it is, but how does one fix the dam* political problems
without getting rid of the filthy Commie that is causing them?
Its not personal its being principled. Something most of those soul selling bastards don’t understand.
The ho couldn’t help herself. Just had to play the old race card.
Eddie Bernice Johnson is the Maxine Waters of Dallas.
She's got a 100% safe district and is a long-time member in good standing of the Congressional Black Caucus and Democrat Socialist Caucus.
She's got the IQ of a toad, the personality of a water moccasin and is corrupt as they come.
Your standard issue black Democrat politician...
Obama’s actions against the American People is personal, too.
They voted for what he promised them. This is not it.
You wanna get personal Eddie? How about you GFY! Is that personal enough for you?
No they’re not.
I don’t need to defend against a gratuitous assertion. If they can say it without proof, it can be equally denied without explanation.
Comprende?

I don’t think that that’s my responsibility to do it.”

Jane (Eddie Bernice) YOU IGNORANT SLUT!!!! (Tks SNL)..
You have it ALL wrong Eddie??.
I put BO in the same class as LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Gore,
J Kerry, Biden,and various other WHITE pols, and will even throw in a bunch of so called R’s...McCain, Graham, Boehner.
Knock of the ‘racist’ BS, I have absolutely NO problem with BO’s ‘Black’ Half, it is his WHITE HALF that I despise.
We are different in MANY MANY WAYS, but a fault I don’t have is I don’t feel like a Race Traitor when I downgrade and go after WHITE POLS, so why do you insist on saying the ONLY reason I don’t like Black Pols is because I am racist.
I AM NOT A RACIST.
I AM A BIGOT.
I DESPISE ALMOST ANYTHING LIBERAL OR DEMOCRAT.
And for one to be a Dem or Lib AND be certifiably insane, and/or downright stupid is like a trifecta.
