Why Does Obama Need To Compromise?

[DaGoose]

Face it. Obamacare was passed in the House, in the Senate, Signed in to law by the President and survived a challenge before the Supreme Court.

The GOP candidates for POTUS then made Obamacare the number one issue in the last election. In short they made the entire election in 2012 a referendum on Obamacare. And guess what? The GOP lost. The American people voted in the only candidate that said he would keep it intact.

So what to do? The Tea Party backed politicians decided (like a bunch of whiny kids) that if they didn't get their way they would shut down the government.

What makes this so incredible is that the individual mandate was a conservative idea to begin with.

The bottom line? Obama does not have to compromise on a damn thing. It is the law of the land and the American people spoke. And once people start to sign up and take advantage of it they will like it much like they do Social Security and Medicare.

So let the Tea Party controlled GOP continue on with their little fiasco. They are only hurting themselves.

Because a real leader will comprise when it's for the overall good of the nation trying to defund Obamacare was silly and it was never going to happen how ever asking for a delay of one year was not unreasonable especially since the President gave that same delay to business even you feel the delay was unreasonable asking for the exemption for congress and their staff to be removed and dropping the medical devices tax which are both highly unpopular were not. Both or either one of these minor concessions would have in all likelihood have prevented the shutdown a true leader would have made this small concession.

 

[Montecresto]

Actually no, we're not going to like it. This was written by insurance for insurance and that's who it will be good for. A year or two into this and it will become apparent.

Why? Because he's not Emperor By Divine Right of the United States.

 

[MACAULAY]

Obama needs to make a deal because he needs more money to spend.

Socialists always need more money to spend. That is how they maintain power. Socialist Democrats cannot stay in power without bribing people to vote for them. That takes money.

Obamacare is a big issue for today....big socialist policy....but will be enfolded into the real deal which is the coming debt ceiling. Obama needs that raised so he can get back to spending money and buying votes for the Socialist-Democratic Party.

Socialists need money and the Jeffersonians have to agree give it to them. That's what the game is all about.

Next two weeks will be big. Big for both you Socialists and for us Jeffersonians. Big for the future of the country.

Why make a deal? He's a Socialist. He needs the money.

The bottom line is you are one stupid motherfucker so no answer anyone gives you will change your little mind.
Until Obama compromises and you will swear up and down that he intended to compromise all along. At least if Chris Matthews tell you so.

 

[NYcarbineer]

He has no reason or obligation to compromise in order to get the government funded because the funding of the government is not negotiable as a yes or no proposition.

What did you do? Get a double dose of Rush today?

He doesn't need to compromise. Period.

Obamacare is the law of the land and Obama's winning the fight. So get used to it.

And if you don't like it cry me a river.

Congress holds the purse strings. Not Obama.

 

[Katzndogz]

obama has already given a clue that he intends to default. He said the markets should be worried. It really upset him that the partial government shutdown didn't cause the market to tank. He'll get it next time.

sounds like O stood firm in their meeting ... the Tea Party knows they would lose on an up and down vote for a clean CR.

 

[Vandalshandle]

The Republicans have, once again, asked for a mandate from the people to kill ACA. That mandate will occur in Nov., 2014.

The republicans are going to lose again on that date.

"Stood firm"?? Really? He didnt "stand firm". He called them in and probably lectured them like the pompous ass he is. Obama is exhibiting zero leadership here. IT is not leadership to say "my way or the highway." Any idiot can do that. It's leadership to say, Let's put aside our differences and find a way out. Obama is incapable of that.

Becasue that's what Presidents do...

That same election gave the Reps the seats in the house to keep this explosion of government in check.

Also, winning an election doesn't make him the king he and his sheep think he is. Leaders lead and that's where Obama runs out of talent.

I think you're wrong.

He should compromise..with the liberal wing of the Democrats.

He should shit can the Sequester and reinstate the original outlays of spending.
He should push through a stimulus package for rebuilding our infrastructure.
He should push for greater block grants to hire more teachers, police and firemen.
He should push for grants to keep hospitals open and educate more doctors.
He should push for spending on science and research.
He should provide funding for head start and people who need food.

His been in the pocket of conservatives for too fucking long.

We won this elections and now Obama is the "Decider".

He doesn't have to negotiate and he isn't going to. GOPs getting pressure from the banks as well:

Bank CEOs Warn of Consequences From US Shutdown, Default

Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein, while stressing that the business leaders who met with Obama represented diverse political views, implicitly criticized Republicans for using their opposition to the healthcare law as a weapon that could lead to a U.S. default.

“You can litigate these policy issues. You can re-litigate these policy issues in a political forum, but they shouldn't use the threat of causing the U.S. to fail on its ... obligations to repay on its debt as a cudgel,” Blankfein said.

While the government closure has already had repercussions from frustrated tourists turned away from national parks to canceled stops on Obama's Asia trip, the deadline for raising the nation's debt limit poses a much graver risk.

Bank CEOs Warn of Consequences From US Shutdown, Default

I just can't believe how harshly and swiftly House Republicans are being judged negatively on the stupid decisions they made. What a gift.

They continue to try and place the blame elsewhere though but it's looking more like whimpers than roars today.

Washington being controlled by those bankers is half the problem
