President Obama is being blunt about the impact of a shutdown

[brooklynite]

"A very real economic impact on real people". Delayed paychecks; loss of private sector business near national parks and monument, etc.

Don't think he's caving...

[Jon Ace]

1. He's calling the GOP's bluff

Just as the Senate did.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. K&R!

[Pretzel_Warrior]

3. He's also callling the extreme minority in the house the babies that they are.

7. It's great to have a thinking adult in the White House, isn't it?

[Barack_America]

4. Smoke 'em out! Close all the liquor stores within a 3 mile radius!

Until we have a budget.

5. Yup, no more liquid courage for that bunch of REMF's as Demotex calls them. He's a forest fireman

and these worthless pieces of dung just put him and all the people protecting the forest off work Tuesday. Some are younger than he is, hotshot firemen, with wives and children to support.

And there's the people that do so many other things who are going to feel the pain. People who believe in our nation like Obama does, and want to make a difference and do good things for the people.

While these spoiled brats whine that $170+ of the taxpayer's dime, plus their Cadillac healthcare we pay for, saying it's not enough!

They hate that the ACA says they will have to join and start paying for it, like the rest of us, and that the ACA also helps register voters. No doubt their believe that 'the wrong people' will be able to vote.

6. And note this Republican taunting Al Sharpton and mocking MLK, essentially:

Sharpton Slams GOP Rep. Likening Obamacare Fight to Civil Rights: ‘You’re Not Sacrificing Yourself!’

Reverend Al was nearly struck speechless by the arrogance of the guy who offered to fund 99% of the government, just not ACA. This gang of fiscal terrorists needs to be sent home.
