The US Shutdown - Latest


Lets Get Real:

This sounds like a tougher deal folks, lets see how it plays out, the Obama word can not be trusted, he showed that after getting a Grand Deal with Speaker Boehner and coming back demanding more tax hikes.   The Republicans have to keep something behind their back in case the Oval does not really want to talk about the out of control welfare state of the US, after all Obama is a Chicago Pol, he should understand that you do not surrender in a political knife fight, you should always have that political cannon in the back, in this case its keeping the US Government closed.  If Obama rejects a short term debt ceiling rise the Republicans will get the fact that the Oval was just playing games, then the Republicans should allow the Oval to take the US over the financial cliff.  It is Chicago politics folks, the last Pol standing WINS. 

Long Weekend, US Shutdown - 2nd Term Blues


Lets Get Real:

It seems the Republican Establishment can not surrender FAST enough folks, they are taking the WORD of the Oval that there will be REAL talks if the Republicans open the US Government and rise the debt ceiling, two words folks, SELL OUT.   The Republican Leadership in the Senate and House do not have the backbone to make the Oval take the US over the financial cliff.   Speaker Boehner has shown himself to be a weak Speaker, the Oval should be always be frightened of the House Speaker, one can postulate that the Oval holds Boehner in contempt, a real leader would not allow himself to be pushed around by an appeaser like Obama, do you see Syria or Iran allowing themselves to be pushed around, when you in a leadership role you need steel backbone, one can say that the the Republican leadership has a wobble backbone that is thrown by the wind or the hot air out of the Oval.   Thus it seems that the Oval wins this folks, what is the point of voting for the Republicans, if they are Republicans in name only, might as hand over the House to the Democrats.   Shame on the Republican leadership.
