It seems that President Obama playing to his base with it comes to the prospects of a Government shutdown, the President stated the following to the press on the consequences of a shutdown, “ ….800,000 families -- our neighbors, our friends, who are working hard all across the country in a whole variety of functions -- they suddenly are not allowed to come to work. It also means that they’re not getting a paycheck. That obviously has a tremendous impact. ”. In other words POTUS does not want to upset the Unions, one of the major backers for Democrats. POTUS really milked the Union angle with the following remarks, “ So, again: 800,000 federal workers and their families impacted; millions of people who are reliant on government services not getting those service.. ”. This is the time for the Republicans to hold their ground, get major cuts, but not cut abortion, that is a woman’s right. Otherwise Republicans should keep the Democrats feet close to the fire, no deal without massive cuts in the 2011 Budget.
