LIBERALS TELL OBAMA: BRING THE PAIN - President Obama’s political base is getting worried as pressure builds on him to abandon his “no negotiations” stance over the partial federal shutdown and looming debt-limit breach. The Pentagon decision to suspend death benefits for families of troops killed in Afghanistan is prompting outrage over the Obama administration’s handling of the partial shutdown.
Republicans continue to pass legislation that would restore full funding for essential programs, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid continues his blockade and the president has promised vetoes of several mini-spending bills. Obama told reporters Tuesday that he would not allow emergency funding because he wanted to keep the “political heat” on Republicans. But Americans are unlikely to tolerate such gamesmanship where war widows are involved.
Wrong. So many Americans are idiots, they will tolerate this and even defend Obozo.
Tell Boehner to put the Senate passed CR up for a vote, that is unless you don't care about war widows.
Why are you holding the nation hostage by insisting on a CR? You've been defending Democrats passing piecemeal resolutions instead of budgets FOR YEARS.. now all of a sudden you have a problem with it?
Free the hostages and end the pain... put a clean bill up for a vote and end the pain.
And Democrats accuse Republicans of talking points.. This is all we hear from you guys.. Can you guys come up with an original thought on your own? Thats sad...

Hypocrite..
Democrats were blocking a formation of a committee to conference the Senate and House budgets for the last six months?
How can we afford to have them over there to be killed but not afford to bury them when they get back?
Great point.. especially considering I hear the current total owed is around $500K.. TOTAL to the widows..
Nope, no money for them.. but didnt Democrats just defend Obama wanting to send million dollar missles into another soverign nation not even a month ago?
Obama is such a loser. His golf course is open, but he won't give military families death benefits to bury their spouses and children.
He is a truly heartless man.

That's news to me.
Your nonsense reply has nothing to do with what I said.. Are you really that dumb?
Hey, why were you supporting bombing Syria, but now dont want to fund war widows?
