Obama On The Government Shutdown: Nobody's Winning!

Before she leaves finally Congress late next year, the controversial politico said to the press that Republicans are happy about the government shutdown. 

Besides the stupidity of NO ACCOMPLISHMENT lawmakers Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) and Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), the White House caught a little bit of heat during the government shutdown.

Bachmann said this is the most happiest the Republicans ever been.

Yeah, getting paid while thousands of workers suffer. That's happy!

Paul and Minority Leader of the Senate Mitch McConnell say that their strategy isn't working. They'll have to switch up the talking points. So they are going to Loserville to bitch about how the president and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are the fault of the shutdown. After all Paul said Republicans are winning.

A member of the president's inner circle said they're winning the debate on the government shutdown.

Yeah, it made the conservatives go crazy as usual. And of course, I am going to have to take their side on this one. No one is a winner.

When people have to alter the plans because they can't visit a national park, it sucks.

When a family needs food stamps, veteran benefits and a student loan from the federal government and they're denied and told that they can't get it, it sucks.

When a person is trying to apply for a passport, a federal loan, a job with the federal government or even a request for information, they're turned away. It sucks.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden go to a local sandwich shop to make a statement of the impacts of the government shutdown.
President Barack Obama said it clearly that Americans are suffering because of the government shutdown.

So the president took an opportunity to attack the Republicans over their stubbornest. The Republicans want a compromise which includes a delay (defunding) of Obamacare and partial funding of select government agencies.

The president and the Democrats want an all or nothing. They believe that every element is important and the Republican theatrics aren't going to sway them to support the bills.

They've passed these bills that covered opening national parks but refuse to enact food stamps for the millions of needy Americans. They wanted to pass a bill that offered back pay for the furlough workers but also include an extension of the Keystone XL pipeline. They want to sweeten the pot but the president isn't going to sign off for that.

He's issued a veto for any bill passed that has "partial funding to government services".

Now it's possible that Republicans may crack because there's a few moderates who are willing to cross the party line to help the Democrats get something passed. But they fear the Tea Party members of the House and Senate.

The Stallmigos are firmly placed. The Stallmigos are Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz.

Again, we continue to follow the latest developments in the government shutdown.
