President Obama refusal to negotiate on ObamaCare has led to the continuing shutdown of the federal government.
The government, contrary to what the mainstream media is telling people, is operating at 83%, which isn't too bad.
On today's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, House Speaker John Boehner said about the president, “He knows what my phone number is, all he has to do is call." He added, "The president just can’t sit there and say, ‘I’m not going to negotiate.' "
According to Boehner, there aren't enough votes in the House of Representatives to re-open the government with no strings attached.
Finally, Speaker Boehner is holding firm and it is up to President Obama to start negotiations to re-open the government. I am in full support of Boehner's position. He finally grew some balls!
Many government programs are at a standstill and is hurting a lot of people. Personally, this means that the annual check from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that I receive for a farm program will be delayed. But I am willing to wait for the greater good.
Obama must also agree to delay the full implementation of ObamaCare and agree to negotiate on changes to the law that will make the current monstrosity workable.
Kudos to Speaker Boehner and the House for sending Obama the message that he is not a dictator and must work with the other branches of government.
I read somewhere that Boehner grew his balls when a Tea Party group put up anti-Boehner billboards in his district.
