Now Obama and Reid refuse to give an inch and publicly admit that it is their way or nothing. Both sides are acting like children.
But both sides aren't at fault.
The GOP is way out of line for demanding that we toss out the democratic process and legislate by hostage taking and extortion. Obamacare was passed by both houses, signed by the president, upheld by the supreme court and validated by a landslide election of the sitting president in a campaign where Obamacare was one of the biggest issues. We won. They lost.
Didn't you see that Schoolhouse Rock video, "I'm Just a Bill"?
Here's your remedial civics education:
No part of this video talks about economic extortion by the Congress if the opposition party decides they don't like an implemented law.
Now they've decided that since they can't win by democratic means, they'll resort to extortion and economic terrorism. No, you can't do that! And it sets a bad precedent if it's allowed to happen!
1. The Republicans pressed the button.
2. The Republicans are way out of line.
3. The Congress is not doing its job in passing a budget.
100% of the credit credit goes to the GOP, no ifs, ands or buts.
