President Barack Obama summoned congressional leaders to the White House on the second day of a partial government shutdown that has furloughed hundreds of thousands of workers and closed military cemeteries as far away as France. Republican leaders welcomed the Wednesday afternoon meeting but questioned whether Democrats were ready to deal.

Reid and other Democrats said if the House would first pass a “clean” funding bill (which includes bammycare),, then they would be willing to enter negotiations on a longer-term measure.

OK the commies want the House to hand them 100% of what they are demanding.

Then they will negotiate...

On what?

The democrats would have just gotten 100% of what they are demanding.

When the next "red line" is reached they will start whining about how "it was ok last time" and demand that the republicans do it again, give them 100% of what they want.

Just like the democrats always have.

The “He won’t negotiate” talking point is doing damage. Zero and Harry are looking like the bad guys right now.

Senator Burr went to dinner with Obama and fell in love and couldn’t stop playing tiddly winks him after that-I would guess many of the GOPers will be seduced if he throws a steak at them and a bottle of red.

Cocktail parties, a little choom- and BINGO we have a new love slave to harem with Chris Matthews.

He's calling them in to tell Boehner and McConnell they have the info to prove they were helping to get subsidies for Congress and staff.

Blackmail!

So is this gonna help the GOP win more seats in the 2014 election? That is what I am hoping, that it energizes at least some of them to get out the vote and get the GOP more seats in the 2014 elections. Because I am unsure how popular this is gonna make them with independents and fence sitters.

The meeting is where Obama’s Gestapo, er NSA, presents Repubs with compromising photos, whether true or photoshoped. Ala C.J.Roberts technique...180 your position or we take your kid...etc.

Obama will reiterate to them, “Clean Bill or nothing.”

Then I guess it's nothing. Let Baraq veto funding for things people want like parks, guard and reserve pay, and a whole host of other things.

He's getting desperate.

He doesn’t know how to proceed. Soaring rhetoric of a teleprompter is not working. Lacking all skills except the ability to deliver words others have written, he is drifting, astray

This is enrollment day number TWO, Barry

speaking of which, have you heard how many "millions" actually enrolled yesterday? Surely the LSM couldn't wait to report that humungous number today.

Classic product of affirmative action.
I’m really hoping he just finally “loses it” in public for all the world to see. He’s a jackazz.

In Boehner's case it's his favorite underage male prostitue whose bottom he buggers out at the Bohemian Grove moloch-fests.

Does anyone have a valid (reliable source) link to what the House has been proposing in their bills that they have sent to Congress, to fund government?

I put some figures into the calculator they have. The more you make, the higher the premiums. Some low income ranges would get a 75% subsidy on a 3K premium. That 3K premium is for the “bronze” plan.
