GOP defies weak Obama

House Republicans held their ground on Friday in a standoff with President Barack Obama over the U.S. government shutdown, accusing him of intransigence and not caring about the impact of the shutdown, now in its fourth day.

Obama's playing the same game. And surprise, so is the whole country. You are all doing your part to coddle Obama, and via his plan the rest of the country.

Obama has canceled plans for a visit to a number of Asian countries next week.

The House has adopted a strategy of voting piecemeal to fund publicly some federal agencies - like the Veterans Administration, the National Park Service and the National Institutes of Health - that are partially closed.

House Republicans on Thursday lined up 11 bills to fund targeted programs. They were: nutrition programs for low-income women and their children; a program to secure nuclear weapons and non-proliferation; food and drug safety; intelligence gathering; border patrols; American Indian and Alaska Native health and education programs; weather monitoring; Head Start school programs for the poor and other aid for schools that rely heavily on federal assistance.

With a major storm approaching the Gulf coast, disaster assistance was also slated for temporary renewal under the House measures, as well as providing retroactive pay to federal workers during the shutdown.

The "piecemeal" approach is a sham, and it isn't fooling anyone.

That isn't how gov't is funded. Republicans don't get to decide what gets money & what doesn't. That was already decided in the legislative process.
 
Just curious, but why do you feel the need to resurrect old threads?

I never want to hear you bitch about BM's Threads.

I have always pulled out old threads, to show how a little perspective of time illustrates how wacko some posters statements were.
