Obama says "I bent over backwards to work with Republicans" in an interview last night on NBC then tells them he's not negotiating anything.
Which one is a lie?
I didn't see President Obama placing the barriers in your trollography.
Fact: The Senate passed a budget in March.
Fact: Boehner refused to name members of the conference committee (that is, engage in the normal and usual practice of compromise).
Fact: Republican candidates for the H. of Rep. campaigned on "shutting the government done".
Fact: Boehner is a lair as well as an incompetent.
Fact: The author of the OP is a joke, in risk of losing his license to troll.
Shutting the government done???
They didn't campaign on shutting the government down. They campaigned on "no tax-increases and repealing Obamacare".
Some of them...the stupid ones...do.Obama says "I bent over backwards to work with Republicans" in an interview last night on NBC then tells them he's not negotiating anything.
Which one is a lie?
I saw that video clip. I almost spit out my Cheerios.
He has bent over backwards.
Obama also claims he is 'calm' and does not get "emotional"..
That guy is in quaaludes. He is in total denial.
Or, he is such an egomaniac that he thinks he can spew whatever bullshit he wants and the American people simply accept it as the gospel.
Obama's even shutting down parks which are privately operated and that have leases with the government. Shutting them down Costs The Feds.
...Warren Meyer of Phoenix, AZ, is owner and president of Recreation Resource Management, Inc. RRM employs about 400-500 camp workers and managers across about a dozen states. It is one of a handful of companies that have been managing national parks and campgrounds as tenants for years, through previous government shutdowns including the last one in 1995-1996. Those previous shutdowns never closed any of the parks managed in this way, but the current shutdown threatens closure.
The campgrounds are self-sufficient and receive no federal funding. No government employees staff or manage the parks. The management companies pay the National Park Service out of the funds they generate from operating the thousands of campgrounds. So the reason for the shutdown is puzzling to Meyer.
Today, he sent a letter to both of his senators, John McCain and Jeff Flake, asking for help to keep his parks open.
My company, based in North Phoenix, operates nearly over 100 US Forest Service campgrounds and day use areas under concession contract. Yesterday, as in all past government shutdowns, the Department of Agriculture and US Forest Service confirmed we would stay open during the government shutdown. This makes total sense, since our operations are self-sufficient (we are fully funded by user fees at the gate), we get no federal funds, we employ no government workers on these sites, and we actually pay rent into the Treasury.
Notice that last part. The parks not only do not cost the taxpayers any money, they pay funds into the Treasury out of the fees park users pay. Shutting them down will cost the taxpayers money.
How much? Meyer told the Tatler that his parks generate hundreds of thousands of dollars per week. Multiply that across his competitors and the Treasury could lose a few million dollars, in what is essentially free money to the government, over the course of the shutdown.
Which, as Meyer points out, is unnecessary, as these management companies are not revenue losers, but revenue generators for the Treasury....

Last night Obama called in Congress for a meeting to tell them that he's not open to negotiation. The only purpose of the meeting was to give the press something to report to the low-information voters.
I haven't been following...but seriously?????
What the fuck is wrong with this guy?
Obama Tries To Shut Down Privately Owned Mt. Vernon
Well sure.
You can always trust the content you read on some message board.
Actually, its at least as accurate as what you slurp up on fux.
BTW, the title of this thread -
Obama Tries To Shut Down Privately Owned Mt. Vernon
is a lie.
Ugh, all this GOP selective amnesia is hurting our brains.
Yes, they indeed campaigned on shutting the government down, you morons. What the hell is wrong with you all? This is the 21st century. Stuff people say gets video'd and taped! It's not 1913 anymore, it's 2013!

The National Park Service blocked parking lots at George Washington’s Mt. Vernon Estate and Gardens “due to a misunderstanding over the ownership of the spaces,” according to Melissa Wood, Mt. Vernon’s media director. Mount Vernon officials approached the NPS, which removed the barricades “as soon as they realized their mistake,” Wood says
