Yesterday Obama said to another college crowd filled with low-information voters that he was willing to work out differences with Congress. Unfortunately that promise only lasted a few hours when he told the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, that he would not negotiate over the debt-ceiling. It also reminds me when the Dems refused to allow the GOP any right to any input during the drafting of the Affordable Health Care Act.
These libs' words are as phony and hollow as their way of governing. It seems that everything they accuse the GOP of they are doing themselves. It must be because they feel that the media will only report it that way. It seems the only ones talking about a shutdown are the Democrats yet they dare to accuse the GOP of attempting to do just that.
And they wonder why so many of us are angry as hell.

Obama slams Republican threats to 'burn the house down'
By Justin Sink - 09/27/13 05:03 PM ET
President Obama on Friday implored House Republicans to fund the government, criticizing them for threatening "to burn the house down (wait for it) simply because you haven't gotten 100 percent of your way." (Funny, that's exactly what Obama is doing)
In comments from the White House press briefing room, Obama reiterated he would not negotiate on the debt ceiling or relent to GOP demands to delay or defund his healthcare law in exchange for funding the government.
"My message to Congress is this: Do not shut down the government. Do not shut down the economy. Pass a budget on time. Pay our bills on time," Obama said. ( Too bad Obama can't say he's done this himself, because he hasn't signed a budget into law since taking office or submitted one anyone voted for)
In what appeared to be a reference to Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) 21-hour floor speech on the healthcare law this week, Obama accused Republicans of grandstanding.
"This grandstanding has real effects on real people," Obama said.
"It's not gonna happen," he declared of defunding or delaying ObamaCare.
A spokesman for Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) quickly responded that it was Obama who was grandstanding with the appearance, noting that the president had not attempted to call him all week.
