WH official: ‘Doesn’t really matter to us’ how long shutdown lasts

The White House reportedly doesn’t care how long the government shutdown continues because President Obama is “winning” the political fight.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, an unnamed “senior administration official” revealed that the White House is more interested in a political win than getting the government reopened:
Said a senior administration official: “We are winning…It doesn’t really matter to us” how long the shutdown lasts “because what matters is the end result.”
White House allies, however, say a long shutdown could make the White House’s position less tenable. Mr. Obama is the most visible symbol of the U.S. government, they say, and will inevitably share in the blame as hardships mount and people weary of the infighting.
Cynical b@stards.
Doesn’t matter to me either.
Wow, this is the first time I have ever agreed with this administration.
If I were the GOP, I would take these words, put together a TV and buy time on national TV.
Nothing else clearly explains how Obama and the Democrats feel about this govt shutdown and what they’re (not) gonna do about it.
I finally agree with someone from the White Hut. This could turn out to be an amazing day.
Prior to shutdown Dems were saying that they wanted a shutdown showdown so they can take back house, if so they can fix it by changing it to single payer.
It’s so ALINSKY
Freegards

Bull.
However that said, bring back American jobs.
For an entire generation we have built China up until it is arguably now the world’s foremost exporter.
CHINA.
Bring back American jobs to America.
African dictators rule this way. It’s not just Obama how hates the American people. His staff is full of misfits and sociopaths. Congress is full of members who despise the voters from having to “deal” with them and flatter and lie to them during elections every two or six years
Does anyone know how the lack of appropriations affects the USDA funding of the EBT debit card? If this money runs out, all hell will break loose.
The President decides what gets shut down I believe.
Why do Democrats hate poor people?
I like that idea but the GOP won’t do it.
How about FOREVER?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
The longer it stays shut down, the more Americans will find out that they don’t really need a BIG government.
‘Doesn’t really matter to us’ how long shutdown lasts’
Whistling past the grave yard!!
They are CREATING a crisis that they intend to FIX via single payer.
They are NOT winning.
