‘I just want to face the breeze, and smack the horse on the @ss.’

Sounds like ‘Leave Her to heaven’ with Gene Tierney as a hot BAD girl. Also Jeanne Crain as the pretty good girl.

Obamacare will never be defunded. Obama can impose his will on Boehner, but not vice versa. They won’t go to the mat to defund Obamacare, ever.

This agreement amounts to a plan to rearrange the deck chairs.

Found info from Fox:

Special Report with Bret Baier
Sources: Government shutdown avoided by 4-5 day continuing resolution cutting 3 billion dollars.. requiring Senate to vote seperately on defunding Planned Parenthood.. would block federal and local funding for abortions in Washington DC.. while the bigger 6 months bill is tweaked by Thursday..

So much for that Pledge to America

With common-sense exceptions for seniors, veterans, and our troops, we will roll back government spending to prestimulus, pre-bailout levels, saving us at least $100 billion in the first year alone and putting us on a path to begin paying down the debt, balancing the budget, and ending the spending spree in Washington that threatens our children’s future.

Not alone. Shame on all the media, local included to get all Democrat talking points about a shut down.. Republicans should have started using Slow Down.

So the senate votes on defunding Planned Parenthood separately? What a joke, we don’t need symbolic votes, we need results!

S#!T!

But then, this is just a skirmish, the big battle is yet to come.

That sounds better than it might have been. A chance to defund Planned Parenthood, ending DC government paid abortions. $40 Billion more in cuts than the Democrats wanted.
