Obama on US Government Shut Down - 2nd Term Blues

The White House: Remarks by POTUS on US Government shut down, " ..At midnight last night, for the first time in 17 years, Republicans in Congress chose to shut down the federal government.  Let me be more specific:  One faction, of one party, in one house of Congress, in one branch of government, shut down major parts of the government -- all because they didn’t like one law.

 

This Republican shutdown did not have to happen.  But I want every American to understand why it did happen.  Republicans in the House of Representatives refused to fund the government unless we defunded or dismantled the Affordable Care Act.  They’ve shut down the government over an ideological crusade to deny affordable health insurance to millions of Americans.  In other words, they demanded ransom just for doing their job.  ".

Lets Get Real:

If President Obama wants to play this game, the Republicans should play hardball, make it known that if the President uses his powers to raise  the debt ceiling without the approval of Congress they will impeach him, and this time they will make it stick, Obama thinks he is a KING, well Monarch's do not face Mid Term Elections and Presidential Elections in a four year cycle.  The Republicans should make the Democrats pay for supporting Obama, every Conservative Democrat in the House and Senate should be tied to Obama, ObamaCare is not supported by the US voter, thus time to show that Obama is NO Bill Clinton, he needs people falling at his feet, when either people or countries say NO, and stick to it , he backs off, lets play Chicago hardball folks.
