What did McConnell have to do with anything that happened in the last month? If the House passes continuing resolutions with no funding for Obama Care what is McConnell going to do about it?

McConnell and his ilk were irrelevant in the last month. There was a battle going on between the House and the President/Senate for the constitutional powers of the House. McConnell and most of the rest of the GOP Senators other than Cruz and Lee who rallied the House to act were merely spectators.

You are right. But I think the point he's trying to make is that he is the leader of the republican party, NOT Cruz.

If Meemaw McConnell said this after Ace McCain said essentially the same thing, then maybe he's also trying to make it clear that he is the leader of the Republican Party, not John McCain. There may be no honor among thieves but there sure as hell is a pecking order.

Here's what the bastard did...

McConnell Debt Plan: Press Release Conservatism

Section 1002 of the bill provides for McConnell’s infamous resolution of disapproval. Basically, within three weeks of the President’s official request for a debt limit increase (until Feb 7, 2014 in this case), Congress can force a vote to disapprove of the request. There’s one problem, though. That resolution must pass with 2/3ds majorities in both houses.

After Obama gave Kentucky $2,000,000,000, he liked the idea of increasing the country’s debt. What a bald faced crook.

Harry Reid to Mitch McConnell: Would you sleep with me for $100 dollars?

Mitch: Are you nuts? I am no prostitute.

Harry: How about for 3 Billion dollars?

Mitch: Do you prefer the red teddie or the garter belt?

Good point! I still think they collaborated the mantra of the day (or week or month). Those two are 2 peas in a pod.

Secondly, Harry Reid did not allow the House bill to keep the government from shutting down be voted on in the Senate. Why? Because if it didn't pass the Senate would be the blame for the Shutdown.

Harry Reid thinks not voting for the House bill to keep the government from shutting down is by default the House shutting down government. Well, he's wrong and this fact needs to be driven home. Unfortunately, you have McConnell, McCain and other RINOs in the Senate aiding the democrats with their lie. They need to go.
