Loserville Calls Government Shutdown A Slimdown!

The network that hates President Barack Obama, progressives and the Black community is add it again.

Chief Roger and his merry band of right wing lunatics are saying this government shutdown is all the president and the U.S. Senate Democrats fault. Clearly being the cheerleaders for the Republican Party, the network is willing to help soothe the fault line.

That Guy Who Helped Obama Win calls it the Obama-[Harry] Reid Shutdown.

Bill-O is saying that the president is willing to talk to Iran and Syria but not the Republicans on a budget.

Yeah, the network is now saying that the 800,000 laid off workers of federal government are just disposable income. They've determined that the government shutdown is a slim down.

Tell that to the thousands of workers who have to feed their families and pay their bills.

Steve King (R-Iowa), Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), and Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) were showboating at the World War II memorial.

The president isn't going to negotiate with people who can't get off their fixation to repeal the healthcare law.

The president warned that their obsession to defeat him will backfire. You see it in the polls and the American people reject a government shutdown over a political issue.

Republicans tried to pass three bills for temporary funding for veterans, national parks and keeping the Washington, DC running. The Democrats rejected that saying that the Republicans continue to add these ridiculous features on the bills.

Washington, DC is funded by Congress. As permitted by the U.S. Constitution, the District is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States Congress and is therefore not a part of any U.S. state. Since it doesn't have a governor the U.S. Congress is the head of the government and the mayor Vincent Gray is the leader.

The bill includes a year delay of Obamacare, the extension of the Keystone XL pipeline and rollbacks to environmental regulations.

The Republicans were stunting yesterday. A group of veterans were denied access to the national parks.

Republicans are showboating.

The Unaccomplished: Michele Bachmann, Steve King and Louie Gohmert broke a barrier down at the World War II memorial to allow access for veterans. Clearly ignoring a restriction and also running for the cameras to show they "care" about the people.

Majority Leader Eric Cantor and six other Republicans sat at a negotiating table waiting on the Democrats. Only people were there were seven white guys and a whole lot of cameras.

And Loserville is saying that its the Democrats who aren't willing to stop the crisis.

The Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall tries to soothe the public's outrage towards Republicans.

When you have a Democratic president a network and a political party wants to see fail, is there any reason for negotiation?

The president had to shorten his scheduled Asian trip due to the government shutdown.

The Healthcare Marketplace is also crashing because of the government shutdown and high traffic demand.

He spoke to the press yesterday, demanding that Congress get their heads out their asses and pass a long-term budget plan for 2014 and raise the debt ceiling.

Obama: [For the first time in 17 years], Republicans in Congress chose to shut down the federal government. Let me be more specific. One faction of one party in one house of Congress in one branch of government shut down major parts of the government all because they didn't like one law.

This Republican shut down did not have to happen, but I want every American to understand why it did happen. Republicans in the House of Representatives refused to fund the government unless we defunded or dismantled the Affordable Care Act.

They've shut down the government over an ideological crusade to deny affordable health insurance to millions of Americans. In other words, they demanded ransom just for doing their job.

He would later add: And we know that the longer this shutdown continues, the worse the effects will be. More families will be hurt. More businesses will be harmed. So once again, I urge House Republicans to reopen the government, restart the services Americans depend on and allow the public servants who have been sent home to return to work.

This isn't a game! Real lives are affected by a government shutdown.

This is only going to happen when Republicans realize they don't get to hold the entire economy hostage over ideological demands.

I want to underscore the fact that Congress doesn't just have to end this shutdown and reopen the government; Congress generally has to stop governing by crisis.

They have to break this habit. It is a drag on the economy. It is not worthy of this country.

The last time Republicans even threatened this course of action -- many of you remember, back in 2011 -- our economy staggered; our credit rating was downgraded for the first time. If they go through with it this time and force the United States to default on its obligations for the first time in history, it'd be far more dangerous than a government shutdown, as bad as a shutdown is; it would be an economic shutdown.

So I'll speak more on this in the coming days, but let me repeat, I will not negotiate over Congress' responsibility to pay bills it's already racked up. I'm not going to allow anybody to drag the good name of the United States of America through the mud just to refight a settled election or extract ideological demands.

Nobody gets to hurt our economy and millions of hardworking families over a law you don't like. There are a whole bunch of things that I'd like to see pass through Congress that the House Republicans haven't passed yet, and I'm not out there saying, well, I'm not -- I'm going to let America default unless Congress does something that they don't want to do. That's not how adults operate. Certainly, that's not how our government should operate.
