The Patriot Post sums up the frosty negotiating style of our stubborn, arrogant “leader”:
Obama did say over the weekend that he’s willing to negotiate changes to ObamaCare … but only after Republicans end the shutdown with a “clean” continuing resolution and then agree to hike the debt ceiling. That’s convincing – give him everything he wants and then he’ll talk. Of course, negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. The pigeon knocks over all the pieces, craps on the board and then struts around like it won the game.
Exactly!

You have him exact!
Add Chris to the list of pigeon chess masters. 😀
One thing that’s showing up in the Obumble Shutdown is the high number of “non-essential” Fed workers.
If they’re not essential, then why is the taxpayer paying for them?
Re #3 J. soden : “If they’re not essential, then why is the taxpayer paying for them?”
We are paying for them because government has expanded astronomically beyond the original intent of the essential federal services of defense, trade, and law enforcement, and upholding the constitution.
Non essential, yep ya know all those poisons in the food coming into the country from China, Ya know those pesky EPA regulations that brought air quality back to an acceptable level, especially in LA.
Who needs them. I mean look at Beijing in China you can not see across the street cancer is on the rise that is what we need!
Profit before Humans or the earth! Keystone leaking in Alberta, tar Sand Snow and we must bring the Tar Sands across American water tables to export to China.
I mean this is the USA of Koch brothers billionaire friends and Obama is in their way.
This Shutdown was planned on his 2nd inauguration. FACT
This is a hostile corporate takeover FACT Koch’s and billionaires want to bankrupt the gov to rape the assets, privatize everything to wall street where people have no more say, International corporations do.
No worries about the shutdown the second step is the end of democracy. The TPP.
The Constitution? LOL “We the Corporation”
The USA gov does not negotiate over a ransom note written by billionaires. Hey look! Maybe we will get real lucky and SCOUTUS will expand Citizens United where one person owns a lawmaker.
Who knows maybe it is a foreign country buying off Congress. What will we wake up to?
Passing a clean bill, ya know the one in the house is a problem? We have to get rid of social security and every other demand they make to pass a CR. SEDITION laws have been broken.
I actually am looking forward to default. let them have it. Americans are dumb enough to fall for this Propaganda then to heck with it.
Obama has to renegotiate a law? Shut er down boys this is ridiculous and then let Americans wake up and rise.
Independent Voters are the patriots.
Some Independent voters are confused, noncommittal, and possibly smokin something.
Did you know that Koch Industries holdings include companies involved in service process & pollution control equipment?
They also employ 60,000 people. How many do you employ?
Laws were passed to clean up our air and water but it was the companies that came up with the ways and the means to get it done. Engineers in the oil industry did a lot of the heavy lifting. Making these compliant companies the enemy when they are heavily involved in the solution is just plain stupid!
Radical extremists have taken over what used to be a thoughtful conservation effort. These green idiots expect the impossible and fear the imaginary.
The radical in the WH has extorted some companies and engaged in corporatism with others (some in the green movement).
Smaller, less complex government? We can agree on that.
umm.. that’s every black person.
