Obama Shut Down The Government

So the ship has sunk, and all of us with it. President Obama got his wish and he, along with all the Democrats in the Senate, shut down the government....oh, yes, this is what they wanted all along. Don't be fooled. This is a president who has no intentions on doing what's right for the government, the country or the people when politics are involved. And all this grandstanding was pure politics - and arrogance on the part of the Democrats.

The Republican led House sent bill after bill to the Senate with compromises to avoid the shutdown. The Senate rejecting each without consideration. "As we said Friday, nothing has changed. If

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid

they try to send us something back, they're spinning their wheels," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said.  
Obama, for his part, will talk with the likes of the thugs running the country of Iran, but will not sit down and negotiate with members of his own government. This is appalling and totally unpresidential.

The president's sorry game plan to insure the government partially shutting down was two-fold. First, everything he does, including maliciously and intentionally hurting the country, is with his eye toward the 2014 mid-term elections and insuring the Democrats regain control of the House. To do so means Obama will be able to ram his socialistic and out-of-control spending agenda down our throats. It also means the train wreck known as Obamacare will be intact. 
Second, it's his intention to blame the shutdown on the Republicans, thus helping his mid-term election agenda. As to this point, there was a recent poll that showed that if the government shut down the majority of poll respondents would blame the Republicans. It's hard to tell who these people were from a political standpoint - was the majority more left leaning than right? Who knows. And there's a  really good chance these people were 'low information' voters, taking their cue from the willing accomplices in the left wing media. These people generally are reacting to left leaning sound bites on NBC and CNN and not paying attention to what is really going on. If they had, they would know that this was an event where the Obama-Reid dog-and-pony show pulled the wool over their eyes.

 The Republicans tried desperately with there bills to avoid a shut down to 1) keep the government rolling temporarily until the two parties could reach an agreement and 2) reign in Obamacare. They first sent a bill to Congress pulling the funds from Obamacare in an effort to derail it altogether. No one in their right minds thought that would ever reach the president's desk for signature much less being voted on in the Senate. The GOP then sent a bill requiring the a temporary continuance of running the government at current levels plus delaying the individual mandate ( citizens without insurance required to sign up through so-called 'exchanges' or face a penalty) for one year. After all, the employer mandate part of the bill had been put off for a year along with other provisions of the law, why shouldn't the average Joe get the same benefit? This, obviously didn't fly either...we are shut down. The public be damned in the eyes of the Democrats.
Obama could have been a hero (his narcissism allows him to think he already is one) in the eyes of Americans had he sat down with the the House leadership and worked it out, especially if it benefited the public on Obamacare. But he's King in his lofty mind and he will give no quarter.

Speaking of Obamacare, as we often do on these pages, this law is not ready for "Prime Time," as they say. No one understands it, agencies of the government (Federal and State) who are charged with implementing it have no clue on what they are to do with it and 60 per cent of Americans don't want it. Here again we can fully blame the Democrats for not one Republican

in either the House or the Senate voted for it. It belongs to Obama and Reid and members of their party. This is such a GOOD law that Reid and company now don't want anything to do with. It's good for the 'little people' but not for the Washington elite. They have been given an out of Obamacare, but, by damn, they are going to force it on the rest of us.

So the government has shut down (partially) which means so called non-essential people will stay home from work with no pay (if these people are considered to be 'non-essential' why are they there and why do we waste taxpayer dollars on them? Just askin'). For you weekend hikers, national parks and such will close. Social Security and other give away recipients will continue to get their checks....but, unless the Senate acts as the Republican led House has, the troops won't get paid, but, by God, our wonderful lawmakers in Congress will!! Only in America, my friends, only in America.
