Translation: I will shut down the government and lie by saying you did it.

“Short sighted” = anything shorter than the balance of his term.

Let him veto it and shut down the government.

Once a week, the republicans send the same spending bill with 1% cut from it.

Let him veto it over and over.

The “optics” will crush him.

Republicans - GET A SPINE!!!!

President Obama: I Will Not Sign ‘Short-Sighted’ Spending Bill To Keep Government

Well ... if he feels that way, why doesn’t he just resign ?

I believe this is what is called throwing down the gauntlet. Any takers?

If Boner crys any more, that fake tan he has will start to run. McConnell is still looking for the rest room.

Republicans will fold in 5..4...3...2....

Shut it down and leave it shut down (except for “essential services”) until January 20, 2017.

So let me get this straight, obama wants to shut the government down???

Of course it really is part of the boehner and mcconnell game where they now give in and pass more than a gap measure to ensure we spend much more than what we have and ensure that Congress under Real Leadership does not try to Stop the MADNESS!!!!

It Will Not WORK!

The Enemy is within and until we deal with that Enemy we will Never be able to Deal with the Enemy’s outside the Nation!

Oh well, we republicans get blamed for everything anyways, so go ahead and shut it down, send everyone home...

Keep it shut down until we have the election, then in January 2017 open it back up....good way to save money, no electricity, water, gas....

Perhaps all Kabuki theatre. Boehner, Turtle and Obama script this stuff way in advance to make them all feel good and play well to their constituencies. BTW, the 3 of them all play for the same team.

I subjected myself to the mind-numbing ordeal of listening to his press conference this afternoon and all I can say is that it was like a dream sequence - rambling, self-laudatory and full of digression into matters not relevant to the question.

I'd love to see this guy subjected to a skillful cross-examination where his responses would be limited to "yes" and "no."

Alas, it will not happen in our lifetime.

President Obama: I Will Not Sign 'Short-Sighted' Spending Bill To Keep Government Open.

Like Donald says, "This country is being run by really, really stupid people".

What any of the GOP candidates should say (I've given up completely on Bummer & McTurtle):

Let me get this straight. One one-hand, we have a majority of the House, representing the majority of US House Districts, followed by a majority of the Senate, representing the majority of the states, pass & present a bill that continues funding government operations, and averts a shut-down. On the other hand, we have one-guy:the President, that wants to stand in the way of passage.

Let me remind you: this is the same President whose policies have led to the worst economic conditions since Carter; the same President that has increased our national debt by as much as all other presidents combined; the same President that has abandon our international allies and strengthened our enemies; the same President that has us in retreat abroad, and whose policies have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq, and now Afghanistan, and is now being upstaged in Syria by Vladimir Putin.

I'd like to think the American people are smart enough to realize that the responsibility for any shutdown, and any negative repercussions from it, lays squarely with President Obama. If he vetoes the bill, HE is responsible for the consquences. Let him then take the heat for it.

Why not he does it ever year along with the “Shut Down of Government” threat just like clockwork.

FUBO and the horse you rode in on.
