Blaze: Obama Admits to Making Shutdown as Painful for American People as Possible!

[JimBowie1958]

President Obama Admits Real Reason Why He?s Been Rejecting GOP Funding Bills | Video | TheBlaze.com

Here’s Knoller’s full question: “While you’re waiting for the shutdown to end, why is it that you can’t go along with any of the bills the House is passing? Funding the FDA and FEMA — where you were yesterday — and veterans benefits and Head Start. You have to be tempted to kind of get funding to those programs you support.”

Obama admitted that he is “tempted” to support the bills, because “you’d like to think you could solve at least some of the problems if you couldn’t solve all of it.” That’s what Republicans claim they are trying to do with the appropriations bills to restore funding to various affected programs.

“But here’s the problem. What you’ve seen are bills that come up wherever Republicans are feeling political pressure, they put a bill forward. And if there’s no political heat, if there’s no television story on it, then nothing happens,” Obama said .”If we do some sort of shotgun approach like that, then you’ll have some programs that are highly visible get funded and re-opened, like national monuments, but things that don’t get a lot of attention, like those SBA loans not being funded.”

This ideologue should be impeached for abuse of government power.

I think the refusal to fund death benefits for military families got the attention of many citizens. How low can we go--I guess a lot lower.


I can't even watch or listen to much more of this. Someone might mention to the media that all the perky smiles while delivering this news is becoming annoying, at least to me.

Weird connections you guys make. He admitted nothing of the sort.

I have no idea really 'what Obama has said'. The excerpt posted in the OP reminded me of the last thing I heard --'...WH spokesperson, Jay Carney, was not able to tell us when the POTUS knew about the lack of funding for death benefits for families of deceased military...'

At some point during the day yesterday someone giving an opinion said something similar to what was stated in the article.

My patience is very thin for all involved in this. Back and forth--'You said you wouldn't negotiate'--------'I didn't say I wouldn't negotiate...' Just shut up and come up with a plan. That is all I want to hear. fwiw.

Get over it Republicans, Obamacare is law....it is off the table

You've got it back to front you idiot.
He's saying that the Republicans will only put forward a proposal with a 'television story on it'.
It's such an obvious and transparent ploy...

Like the sequester, Obama wants to inflict pain on the very idiots that voted for him

Email suggests Barack Obama wants the sequester to be as painful as possible | America's Watchtower

he Obama administration denied an appeal for flexibility in lessening the sequester’s effects, with an email this week appearing to show officials in Washington that because they already had promised the cuts would be devastating, they now have to follow through on that.

In the email sent Monday by Charles Brown, an official with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service office in Raleigh, N.C., Mr. Brown asked “if there was any latitude” in how to spread the sequester cuts across the region to lessen the impacts on fish inspections.

He said he was discouraged by officials in Washington, who gave him this reply: “We have gone on record with a notification to Congress and whoever else that ‘APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide funding to cover the costs.’ So it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be.”

I try to hear as little as possible, truthfully. So confused and so discouraged.

I don't understand where the problem is here.
Isn't the current Republican meme that the US can easily accommodate the "shutdown" and the "debt limit" by carefully assigning the costs to the most important sectors?

So, you're saying that the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is a more essential service than..say...the World War Two Memorial?
Why do you hate The Greatest Generation?

Although your comment was written in GOPese, I understand it using BabelFish - Free Online Translator ...a handy site that.

Well.....it took 5 years but its now pretty plain that the American public is finally on to this fraud. Even the stupids of the world wont buy the constant passing the buck after while. This guy is a fucking disaster and even making Carter look competent. Who knew?

If we can just get the miscreants and malcontents to get out of the cart and start pulling it, we can come out of this pit. Unfortunately, Obama encourages you to not pull the cart, but to jump in it

Pretty soon it will bog down and DHS will need all that ammo they have been stockpiling

[rightwinger]

Republicans want to fund the short term items that people see immediately. Let those things that have long term effects linger. Better yet, use it as a means to not fund the agencies that Republicans hate....Education, EPA, HHS

Geez, you guys just carry on, don't you?
It doesn't matter what logic or sense is put in your way, you're able to leap it in a single bound as if it wasn't there.

Yep......that is the ultimate goal here, make no mistake. When the SHTF, the sheep will look to government to solve all the problems. They cant even run a website. Expect a FF sometime this fall.

If it's law, why was a funding plan not written into it?
Borrow more from China?
Very dangerous.

Unlike Republican legislation (Medicare Part D), a funding plan was written into Obamacare to make it financially solvent. Republicans are trying to block that funding
