Read more: Focus on Senate after Obama rejects House plan - Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan and Burgess Everett - POLITICO.comSpeaker John Boehner told House Republicans Saturday morning that his efforts to strike a deal with President Barack Obama are at a standstill.
There is no agreement, Boehner said in a room in the Capitol Saturday, and there are no negotiations between House Republicans and the White House, since Obama rejected the speakers effort to lift the debt ceiling for six weeks and reopen government while setting up a budget negotiating process.
With that, a familiar dynamic has resurfaced 12 days into the government shutdown and five days before Treasury says the nation runs out of borrowing authority: The pendulum has swung back to Senate Republicans, who now look more likely to cut a deal with Obama to end the first government shutdown since 1996, and avoid the first default on U.S. debt in history.
Sell Air Farce One to help pay down the deficit!
Yup...Let's just keep doing the same thing over and over and over...
Spending and borrowing and spending... on and on...
$17 trillion in debt...and no end in site...
And the Democrat party's plan...
Spend our way out of a shitty economy.
...and Obama will claim that the Republicans "refused to compromise."No Deal!!

Now it goes to the Senate for negotiations.

People don't seem to realize that Obama does not want a deal. He is happy with a shutdown (well a pseudo shut down anyway, most of government is still functioning). He also wants the debt ceiling to be hit. Then he gets to decide which pieces of government get funded and what gets cut and he can blame it all on Republicans. He does not have to default on the debt. Interest is only at 8% of Revenue. Avoiding default is easy. But that is not the point. The point is that Obama will try to cause as much pain as possible if he thinks he can get political points for it. He has shown us this twice, with the sequester, and with what he is choosing to shut down now. Heck, he has no problem holding the entire city of Washington DC hostage by not letting them spend their own money. If he thinks he can default on a debt obligation and get away with blaming it on the Republicans, he will do it in a second. To hell with 'The People'.
Obama's plan has long been and still is to bankrupt the nation. He is doing a good job of it.Yup...Let's just keep doing the same thing over and over and over...

...but don't you know...THIS TIME socialism will work!The perfect definition of Washington.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

GOP Lost the:
Presidential election by 5 million votes
Senate election by 10.9 million votes
House election by 1.7 million votes
They can't get their way through the NORMAL system of checks and balances, shut the government down, and we should compromise?
You need to get your head examined.
There is no need to compromise. The republicans now know that and they are scared shitless as their favor-ability ratings sink coming into an election year.
