Obama adm officials tell Ezra Klein they've already compromised all they're going to. http://t.co/iVMqhgxLLr"The Obama administration bristles at the idea that they've been unwilling to negotiate or compromise. They went on a widely covered "charm offensive" back in the spring....

And so the White House says that their position is simple, and it will not change: They will not negotiate over substantive policy issues until Republicans end the shutdown and raise the debt ceiling."

It's the principle of winning no matter what the cost to the people you're helping.
Community organizer stuff.
I wonder if Obama has hired the staff dental hygienist that he advertised for yet.
Good question.
You know, if all these government services can be shut down whenever a President wants to score political points, why are we even thinking about getting the government into healthcare?
The Obama administration bristles?
I thought only girls wrote like that.
Dental hygienists are always female. Ever notice that?
Be sure to brush and floss after every meal.
Toothbrush.
BRISTLES!!!!1!1!!!!!!!!!!!
During this shutdown, federal websites promoting Obamacare may be open but access to high-profile websites run by NASA, the Library of Congress, the Agriculture Department, as well as data.gov and many others has been shuttered. “This makes no sense,” Donald Rieck, executive director of the Statistical Assessment Service at George Mason University, told me. “It costs more money to close sites than to keep them running without being updated.” After all, the infrastructure to keep websites up is already in place.

Default will be the best possible thing that can happen to us. I said will not would because default will come, there's no way around the math. The point is the sooner the better. First default, then reset. But don't expect the GOP to have the spine to hold its ground and make default happen now. No, there will be another surrender to the spending addicted and when default finally comes it will be truly horrific.
The Obama administration is in charge of what is open/ not open.
Obama is a Chicago thug. He won't blink. His ego is on the line. Nothing more important than the ego of a radical leftwing anti-colonialist.
Dental hygienists are always female. Ever notice that?
It would mean the end of all dental skits if the hygienist was male!
Default.
That's been my expectation all along.
Stiff the Chinese.
What are they going to do about it?
Complain about our aircraft carriers?
Anyway, let 'em keep Hong Kong and Tibet.
I hear that saving face is pretty important to those melamine tainting, slanty-eyed yellow devils.
Have to agree with ric on default, especially if it's on the Choom Gang's watch.
PS From the If You're Trying To Get Out Of A Hole Dept:
Shotgun Joe agrees with park ranger keeping out WWII vets.
" They will not negotiate over substantive policy issues until Republicans end the shutdown and raise the debt ceiling."
Then they'll negotiate. Their word is their bond. Have they ever lied to you before?
I heart Byron York.

AMEN!!!
What a riot.
Does anyone at all, on either side, think that Obama will ever compromise or negotiate with Republicans on anything at all? Not just substantive stuff, but anything?
It's all political kabuki theater.
Oblamer's going to get his way.
The "extremists" and "anarchists" that Obama & Co and the establishment Repubs and the media are complaining about are the only ones looking out for the rights and the future of regular people. Not big government or big corps. The interests of big gov and big corps are served by Obama & Cult and the Boehner/Christie wing of the Republican Party. The Crony Party. They're not MODERATE.
