Obama seems to be enjoying his shutdown, snubbing everyone from members of government to our veterans.
He’s now rejected a compromise by House Republicans to handle the shutdown.
But is there something more sinister in mind than the temper tantrum we’re seeing?
If we fail to raise the debt ceiling we could, for the first time, default on our debts. The repercussions of this would only be negative. Obama could use the chance to bypass congress and simply raise the ceiling, thereby seizing even more power.
This could all be nothing more than a ploy to show people that in order to get through our economic crisis he needs to have ultimate authority because otherwise things get deadlocked in congress.
It will be very interesting to see things unfold the closer we get to the Oct. 17th deadline for raising the debt ceiling.
President Obama has rejected a proposed compromise from House Republicans that could have helped to end the congressional standoff that led to the now 11-day-old partial federal government shutdown.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) pitched a “clean” six-week increase with nothing in return to the community organizer in the White House and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). As Big Government’s Matthew Boyle reports, “Obama’s and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s decision to completely reject any offer of a compromise from House Republicans confirms what most conservatives already know: Obama will not negotiate on anything (he has said as much numerous times over the past couple of weeks) unless he faces consequences for failing to do so.”

he cant bypass the house of reps, otherwise he wouldn’t need them in the first place
the president does not have the ability to enact laws or financial transactions.
Obama is a traitor and has to go
I’m not saying Boehnor is a saint, but obama is clearly using this shutdown as a means to arbitrarily pass new laws and executive orders all by himself. He’s 100% okay with the shutdown because every time you turn on the TV or read an internet article, you see speech after speech blaming republicans, and liberal media also blaming republicans for the entire thing so as long as he’s not blamed, he’s okay with everyone suffering, in fact he loves it because he knows people will blame republicans and the GOP.
This nation has devolved into a pathetic existence of power grabbing politicians, to hell with us ordinary people.
The way he has treated our Military and Vets is horrible!
I would say if he does that then IMPEACH HIM!
