This regime has definitely learned quite a bit form it's failed dealings with Iran. Give us everything we want and then we'll talk about talking This is the exact attitude the regime is taking with congress on his illegal executive actions. He is demanding everything he wants and then he says he'll talk about them.
Now it seems that congress is acting just like the dear leader is with Iran, they are surrendering by degrees. They were elected to put a stop to this crap and it's way past time they do exactly that, what ever it takes. If the dear leader is satisfied to refuse funding to DHS to preserve his lawlessness congress should accommodate him and force him to live with that decision. We know the propaganda the MSM will engage in but that should not alter the course of congress.
What do you think?
1) our security should not be a political football.
2) the Prez, unlike most in congress, will not have to run for reelection on the consequences of what a DHS shutdown may bring.
3) Obama may believe he was elected, in large part, to find a peaceful solution (at any cost) to the Iran problem. He wants his legacy.
1) It's your dear leader who is making security a political football by doing what he said 23 times he had no authority to do and insisting congress reward him for his lawlessness by funding his illegal actions. Congress has just as much constitutional authority in this matter as he does, he's not a dictator, even though you wouldn't know it by his actions.
2) Why do you folks insist on this lie that there will be a shutdown?
3) BTW what do you think your dear leaders legacy will be if he makes a bad deal, a bad deal is worse than no deal at all.
Obama is only my prez because he is America's duly elected president and there is nothing dear about it. Furthermore I agree his high-handed tactics precipitated this staged crisis and that it is really about his abuse of his power.
The shutdown was averted but from what I read there would have been a cessation of all non-essential functions, including low-level investigations that could bear (or fail to bear) future "fruit."
I agree a "Peace in Our Time" type deal would be bad for the Mideast, America and the world but that doesn't mean he won't make one just to establish his legacy. I'm not arguing for him but rather noting what may be motivating him. Hell, Tex, you asked what I thought.
