President Obama ‘Exasperated’ by Shutdown, Says, ‘I Have Bent Over Backwards to Work With the Republican Party’

President Obama said today that he was “exasperated” by the government shutdown and made clear that he will not negotiate with Republicans until Congress passes a clean bill to re-open the government and agrees to raise the debt ceiling.
“During the course of my presidency, I have bent over backwards to work with the Republican party,” the president told CNBC’s John Harwood in an interview. ”I think I’m pretty well known for being a calm guy. Sometimes people think I’m too calm. And am I exasperated? Absolutely, I’m exasperated. Because this is entirely unnecessary.”
“I am exasperated with the idea that, unless I say that, ‘Twenty million people, you can’t have health insurance,’ these folks will not reopen the government. That is irresponsible,” he said of Republicans’ repeated efforts to defund or delay his signature health care law as part of any bill to fund the government.
Just hours before the president was scheduled to meet with Congressional leaders at the White House, he said he’s prepared to “negotiate on anything” but not until Republicans agree to a clean piece of legislation to reopen the government and to increase the nation’s borrowing ability.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!
I almost puked when I read this.......
“I work my fingers to the bone for you people!”
Our gay pResident
LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!
“the talking train”
Blaine? Maybe he wants to riddle!
How was America’s First Mulatto President like a porcupine?
(Ohhhh, don’t make him mad! Little Blaine)
OK OK! Well, hmmm, all right. He gets in his pResidential limousine. Right? OK?
And, and the porkypine—he’s all curled up in a little ball? Right?
(Stop! You’ll make him mad!)
Huh, oops yeah. OK.
Well .. with the porkypine, the prick’s on the outside!
“You exasperate me, td. Why don’t I just de-rail us right now?”
Yeah, OK sure huh what?
He wants more concessions from the Republicans; they will, of course, comply.
What a lying little pin prick.
NAME ONE THING THAT YOU PUT ANY EFFORT INTO SEEKING A BI PARTISAN SOLUTION. STFU satan!
"You didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
I am wondering how long it will take for someone to edit that interview with all the verbal attacks he and his barkers have hurled over the past 6 years at anyone that dare challenge Nero.....like teabaggers, terrorists, anarchists etc.
If it is done and loaded up on YouTube it will go viral in hours.
How can John Harwood possibly interview Obama. I mean it’s pretty difficult to speak with your lips stuck to somebodys ass one would think.
doing nothing is now bending over backwards.
This man-child Obama doesn’t bend backwards. He bends forwards, grabs his ankles, and smiles.
How do you “bend over backwards” by saying “I won’t negotiate,” “I won’t negotiate,” “I won’t negotiate?”
He is absolutely insane.
Maybe he’s used to being the ass in a 2-man zebra costume?
"During the course of my presidency, I have bent over backwards to work with the Republican party and have purposely kept my rhetoric down. I think I’m pretty well known for being a calm guy. Sometimes people think I’m too calm. And am I exasperated? Absolutely I’m exasperated because this is entirely unnecessary.
Remember this is Fairly Tame Obama. You haven't seen the REAL Obama. The real Obama is the same as the Rev "American Chicken Coming Home To Roost" Wright version, and Mrs. Obama during her early campaign days.
*Blaine? Maybe he wants to riddle!*
Sounds just like him!
