Default Obama- "I shouldn't have to offer anything"

The "non-partisan" president and the "great uniter" has weighed in on negotiating with the Congress over the government shut down.

Negotiate with Iran, Russia, and the Muslim Brotherhood- fine

Negotiate with Congress- hell no

I think you have that backwards, the senate passed a bill on Friday with funding for Obama care, the house options were 2 bills, one that delayed Obama Care for a year and another that defunded. The right wing extremists in the republican party tried to defund the AFCA around 20 times, they lost in the courts,
now they are losing in the court of public opinion.

Only someone that lives in alternate universe would think that this helps their cause in 2014.

Goverment is closed, Obamacare is open.

Congratulations Congressional idiots.

Next time try asking for something that has at least 1% chance of passing, because when you ask for things with 0% chance, you're just embarassing yourselves. Making unacceptable demands is not a negociation.

When the shut down is over, and its calculated to have saved billions upon billions of dollars, I'm sure Obama, and the left wing kook Democrats will be jumping up and down proclaiming they saved us tons of money though..

Obamacare can take all of the applications it wants, but if there isnt any money to fund it, its not really open, is it?

Republicans taking the high road? Don't make me laugh. This is their last hurrah.

The partial-shutdown is not that big of deal...just wait a few weeks when they have to deal with the debt ceiling limits.
