Tell Obama to tell Reid to.

I for one, welcome our government shutdown overlords.

Patience. The White Hut has seriously overplayed its hand.

I think you might be on to something. The MSM has been starting to pick up on Reid's recalcitrance.

Every single Republican should get up and give that exact same speech.

Well, yeah. Only Republican White Houses can be downbeat and weary in the NYT.

Good gravy. Even for The Slimes, this article is a new low. I didn’t think it was possible.

Obamacare is “TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.”

Obamacare has nothing to do with care, health or medical treatment.

Obamacare has everything to do with a mandatory insurance that everyone must buy at the point of the Federal gun.

Obamacare Medical Insurance premiums are under the control of the IRS.

These insurance premiums can be raised every year by the IRS with no involvement by Congress.

Thus, all the present and future Democrat rulers have to do is tell the IRS how much taxpayer dollars need to be forcefully extracted from the taxpayers, and the IRS will extract the money for them.

Hence, Obamacare Insurance is “ taxation without representation” that Traitor John Roberts of THE NINE SUPREMES has ruled it to be above the control of the US Congress, and it will stay until Obamacare is ABOLISHED!

We tell Obama “Cap the spending.” “Shut down the unecessary programs.”

Carlos Slim is saving it, unfortunately. Something about newspapers, people with money will sink endless amounts into their bottomless pits. See Hearst.

The race card hasn’t been played yet. It’s over after that.

The democrats are more likely to do what Obama tells them than the republicans. Why doesn't Obama tell the democrats to up-vote the House bill? That'd work out a helluva lot more quickly.

Government’s open. The House is trying to fund it and the Senate Dems are fighting it tooth and nail. Who’s to blame here?

My word, Barry Soetoro-Obama thinks he’s a king or an emperor. Barry, here’s Hawaiian “peace sign” for you. Have a nice day, Honey Boo Boo.

Obama Tells Republicans to ‘Reopen the Government’...I'll bet he does, because he knows the longer it's shut the more clearly the public is going to understand that it's the arrogance and intransigence of himself and Reid that caused the closure - or Republicans could just declare victory right now, pass a "clean" CR, and have a big press conference in which they say that for the good of the country they're going to renew funding because they've proven over the last few days that Democrats are willing to take the country over the cliff to avoid losing preferential treatment under Obamacare for the President and congress, giving the same one-year deferment to individual citizens that they've given to their big business cronies, and providing needed funding for veterans services and parks and monuments - let the press ignore that.....
