I know Obama is going to compromise because

[cthulu2016]

a spokesman for Boehner, Brendan Buck, described the invitation as the beginning of negotiations. And when Brendan Buck talks, I listen.

The inclusion of Reid and Pelosi shows just how deep the cave is. Obama is probably going to make Reid and Pelosi apologize to Boehner and paddle them.

The invitees include House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

A spokesman for Boehner, Brendan Buck, described the invitation as the beginning of negotiations with the White House, despite Obama’s stated refusal to put his Affordable Care Act on the table or negotiate over the debt ceiling.

8. Sorry, I'm not being thick -- I've got the flu...

Apparently when I'm sick, my ability to "get" puns is exponentially worse than my ability to make bad puns!

2. Obama

He's not going to cave and give in to Republicans demands he delays or defunds his own health care law. Till Boehner gains some balls
and puts clean bill on house floor. I got feeling government will stay closed till the dedt ceiling Is delt with.

Obama Is tired of Boehner and his having the tea party having his balls.Reid also shows he is tired of this.

5. John Boehner, Brendan Buck and Rense Preibus walk into a bar and the bartender says

"Get the fuck out of here!"

9. It is actually Harry Reid saying it is a negotiation

Not the WH
From the WSJ

Separately, a White House official said Mr. Obama will use the Wednesday meeting, set for 5:30 p.m., to press leaders to reopen the government and reiterate his position that he won't negotiate with Republicans on the debt limit or under the threat of a continued shutdown.

11. Except the quote you just posted says that Obama "WON'T negotiate with Republicans"

not that he will.

13. Exactly, it is Sen. Reid saying it is a negotiation n/t

14. What's a Brendan Buck?

This term confuses me. I know of Jersey Cows and Cheshire Cats, but this is something strange and unusual. Do you need a permit to hunt them?
