Senate GOP aide asks: "So Obama will negotiate with Putin and Assad but not congressional Republicans?"So, let's get this straight. Obama can negotiate with Syria, Russia...Iran, if and when need be...but not the GOP! And certainly not when it comes to the debt ceiling and federal spending. Nope! They're the real threat, they're the terrorists, don't you know? This spendaholic statist ideologue is driving this nation into the toilet...
Reuters: President Barack Obama warned Republicans in Congress on Monday that he will not negotiate over an extension of the U.S. debt ceiling as part of a budget battle that will soon dominate Washington, with a deadline fast approaching.And the sad thing is, this will probably be the extent of his demagoguery before the MSM hop aboard and send the RINO leadership into surrender mode.
Pivoting to domestic policy after devoting weeks to the crisis in Syria, Obama scolded his political opponents for threatening a federal government shutdown and attempting to attach conditions to funding the budget for the 2014 fiscal year that begins October 1.
"Let's stop the threats. Let's stop the political posturing. Let's keep our government open. Let's pay our bills on time. Let's pass a budget," Obama said.
