President Obama’s meeting with certain House Republicans, Carney said, would not be a negotiation: “he’s not going to pay ransom to the Tea Party so that the government opens or the government doesn’t default.”
Carney blamed divisions among Republicans for the government shutdown, particularly blaming the Tea Party: “The President invited all members of Congress because he believes all of them shoulder the responsibilities…When it comes specifically to the House of Representatives and the House Republican conference, I think the president extended the invitation to all members because we have seen that it is a very diverse and fractious conference…a subsection of the House Republican conference has been driving decisionmaking…and that is in part why we have a shutdown.”
Carney complained that Obama had “sincerely engaged” by buying Republicans dinner. He said that “there is a subsection here that will only end the shutdown if [Obama] offers to resign.”

We need a ‘favorite’ shutdown moment thread.
My vote is for the guy with the push mower who wanted to clean up the World War II memorial for the vets... mowing the grass for free until the ‘park rangers’ threatened him.
Resign? I want him and his accomplices ARRESTED.
At least Biden was born here...
You go Tea Party!
I don’t know what I would rather have. obama resigning but obamacare still fully funded, or have the obamacare demolished.
Jay Carnage might be surprised to learn he’s paying the Tea Party a compliment!
At least Biden is white and therefore subject to being impeached.
No. I want him to resign because he’s proven that he can’t handle the job.
this needs to be called what it is: A STRAWMAN ARGUMENT.
Offer ? No deal. Must be actual resignation.
But here is the rub clown, how is that any different from Obama/Reid saying if you agree to our terms, we will then talk about our terms ?
Please make it so!
“If Prince Barry has found the pressures of the job too much for him, then resignation would certainly be the honorable thing to do, and I applaud him for it.”
During the pink line Syria drama, didn’t Obama give a speech about how tough it was being the Leader?
Did anyone hear Putin complain about being a leader?
AYE AYE, SIR!
That little punk has never had a good idea until now.
Think about what you just said. Would you shop at that Walmart? Not qualified.
It’s a deal!
Don’t worry about old Joe. Just ask him to demonstrate and explain the workings of a shotgun and he’s sure to look down the barrel while he pulls the trigger.
He wants the TEA Party and most Americans to pay ransom for an inferior much higher priced already broken down healthcare system.
More Saul Alinsky.....
