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.”

Did you intend to make a Tom Lantos reference, tomkat?
lol
Let ‘em talk. Let them split us even more, get the line defined a little better. You know what I’m saying?
“Cities would burn”
I’d like to see them try to burn my corner of the city.
I signed up for the Tea Party and I just get crappy emails.
Bud Dwyer's exit came to mind, originally.
Is the Carny suggesting that a resignation by the jug-eared one a possibility?
Yep. That would be a good start.
works for me
Naw, we wanted him out long before this. Thanks bestintxas.
During a 1996 Congressional inquiry into the "Filegate" scandal, (US Representative Tom) Lantos (D-CA) told witness Craig Livingstone that "with an infinitely more distinguished public record than yours, Admiral Boorda committed suicide when he may have committed a minor mistake." Boorda, the Chief of Naval Operations, had taken his own life after his right to wear Combat V decorations had been questioned. Lantos was criticized by some...who interpreted the remark as a suggestion that Livingstone too should kill himself.
Everyone knew exactly what Lantos meant - he was suggesting that anyone willing to rat on the Clintons and their multiple scandals should kill themselves. Lantos had a heavy Hungarian accent and Rush Limbaugh had a lot of fun mimicing Lantos' accent and quirky comment at that time. I'm surprised you don't remember it.
It was the first thing that came to my mind (including Lantos' heavy Hungarian accennt) when you posted the Obamacide comment.
That particular despicable episode had slipped into one of memory's increasingly numerous cracks, accounting for my having seemed so thick .. lol !
As vile as the Clintons were/are, those bygone days seem almost naive in comparison to the traitorous regime of this halfbreed muzi fagboy.
