And all of you know it. I mean, I'm not telling you anything you don't know because it's very explicit. You report on it. A big chunk of the Republican Party right now is -- are in gerrymandered districts where there's no competition and those folks are much more worried about a tea party challenger than they are about a general election where they've got to complete against a Democrat or go after independent votes. And in that environment, it's a lot harder for them to compromise......." The October 8, 2013 rant
Obama’s sympathy for Republicans facing primaries is just, er, uh, umm, well, not playing well I guess. My message to the white-half of Obama: pound sand liar!
“I’ll talk about ways to improve the health care system. I’ll talk about ways we can shrink our long-term deficits. I’ll also want to talk about how we’re going to help the middle class and strengthen early childhood education and improve our infrastructure and blah blah blah...
Same recycled hot air. Only the saps still believe his tired jive.
“but only after the government is reopened and the nation’s debt ceiling is raised”
translation - give me the means to keep spending as I have been snce 2009, by simply raising the debt limit, again, so again the heat is off to negotiate seriously, and I can delay serious negotiations ocnce again, until I create the next crisis demanding another raise in the debt OR ELSE!!!!!!!
When it comes Obama vs Boehner and the GOP in the Senate, they have become like the South Koreans and the U.S. in “negotiations” with North Korea - played for the rope-a-dope patsies that they are - the winning side (North Korea and Obama) create a crisis (his threats to default, instead of cutting discretionary spending) if he does not get a debt increase), threaten and bluster, and the losing side caves and appeases the victor. For five years now Obama and Reid have held up getting the nations budget business done until time for the next 11th hour crisis point and need for another raise in the debt limit (’cause they just want to keep spending as is (2009 budget and its automatic increases) and a debt limit increase is satisfactory for that objective).
TEA party to Obama:
Shove it you contemptible little pipsqueak! We are not your subjects to be kicked around whenever you think we’re disobeying your dictates! YOU WORK FOR US! THIS IS OUR COUNTRY!!!
that’s a blink
His little rant, chock full of hesitation in his sentences and his blathering on and on, shows us what a sick cookie this cupcake truly is.
The questions fired at him by a sycophantic press were just withering!
He is truly the most dangerous man in America! We can’t blame Hairy and Nutsy as they’re zombies.
Gee, if the debt limit is raised, there is nothing to talk about, is there?
Will there even be one "reporter" with the cajones to ask the Carny-val barker at the next press briefing to name one "member of Congress" Obammy was referring to?
Just the name alone pisses me off.
Gee, anyone think the Bamster might be a bit unclear on the concept of this “negotiation” thing?

Ever wonder why Democrats toe the line?/
The Democrats threats against their members are much stronger than any Republican Tea Party threat.
They wouldn’t have to worry bout a TEA Party challenge if there weren’t enough voters that agreed with the TEA Party candidates.
Mr. Obama again called on House Speaker John Boehner to call a vote on a “clean” bill to reopen Washington.
***I agree with zer0bama on this one. The house can pass this “clean” bill very easily:
1) SCOTUS has declared Obamacare a tax.
2) Taxes, by law, need to originate from the House of Reps
3) Obamacare did not.
4) Current Congress proposes to remedy that illegality by originating the proposal today. As originally worded And as originally TITLED. In the House.
5) See if Obamacare passes today.
6) Fund the rest of the guvmint.
Obamacare/shutdown vanity: Why doesn’t the house of reps just follow the law?
