He gave the most veiled crybaby sour grapes threat to the President and incumbent Senate Republicans... "Just imagine Mr. President if all the Senate Republicans had stood behind the House Republicans how this would have played out differently".

He even mentioned the petition that has all of 2Million signatures. Claimed it represents the will of all the American people.

Somebody needs to remind him that 1.)He's a Senate Republican and that 2.) 2 Million signatures does not represent the sentiments of 313.9Million Americans. Simple math says its 6.2%.


Edit= my math was off, forgot to move up a 0. so 2Million signatures out of 313.9 Million = 0.65%

Just as a frame of reference, that's less than the % of the population that are native american/alaskan and less than half of the Swedish/american population. It's about the amount of people currently incarcerated in the US.

I don't think anyone would consider half of the swedish/american population or prison population speaking as the will of the people.

Welp, if the Republicans don't realize a course correction is needed by 2016, getting pummeled by Hillary Clinton (or whoever the Dems field) should drive home the point. I'm just hoping this is the end of the Obamacare saga or at least the crazy, teapot ***.

Ted Cruz will never be the POTUS, not on this timeline.

Well, Obamacare still needs work, and its going to take bipartisan talks to get that work done. What the Tea Party needs to learn is using the budget and debt ceiling as weapons is unacceptable and will always fail. Credit to Obama and Reid for hammering that point home and not even relenting a little bit on it. The Tea Party has only succeeded in fracturing the GOP even more and unifying the Dems against them. The rest of the GOP needs to either reign them in or ignore them going forward. Ignoring them is the better option at this point.

The best line I've heard in the aftermath:

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said: »
“Our numbers have gone down, and Obamacare has somehow mysteriously gone up.”

285-144, Tea Party defeated in the House, their shutdown is over, and the furloughed workers return to work tomorrow despite the Tea Party's objections. Obama should sign it in front of the WWII memorial.

Sorry nik, it was a damn good run.

Wouldn't be surprised if President Obama did that. He cannot work with others or even come close to bringing people together. He has no respect for anyone that disagrees with him and I would expect a completely classless act like that from him. His idea of working with others is belittling and demonizing people with ideas different from his and then wondering why they won't work with him.

They will make zero progress before the President forces another shutdown in January.

Do you read what you type or are you just oblivious to the world around you?

Ignorance is bliss.

Not me. The threads before the shutdown I said they shouldn't do it because I want Americans to take their medicine with Obamacare. I'm tired of the Republicans trying to bail the American people out from their irresponsible voting. Tired of them trying to protect the American people from the Democrats. I wanted to see the train wreck that is Obamacare unfold. The Republicans' hands are clean from this mess.

Have to start somewhere.

His victory was assured when Sarah Palin opened her mouth and spoke out against him! Democrats should invite her to all of their events, she guarantees victory for them!

That whole sleeper agent thing is starting to make sense. All those questions about the Democrats having a hidden agenda... I think they planted Palin, Bachman, and Cruz to make the Republican party look terrible and drive voters to their side. And when they take the 2014 and 2016 elections handily, they will be ready to build their Marxist utopia. THE END IS NIGH!

Or the TP are just a bunch of clowns... ya probably that.

She probably thought he was Glenn Rice! Joke in bad taste I know but what a story.

Can't forget Rand Paul and Rick Perry endorsing him.

I think one of my favorite moments of the whole thing is when Booker said we need environmental safeguards in place because people can't even swim in the Passaic from pollution and Lonegan said dead bodies in the river (from Newark) keep people from swimming in it.

Oh how NJ has the best politics and political drama in the nation.

Sounds like you need environmental safeguards to keep all the dead bodies out the water.

I laughed, verily you made my whole day so much better. Thank you republicans, you saved me from a whole day of depression and woe.

Still, my marxistnazicommiesocialistkenyan messiah hath prevailed. Let us humbly pay our taxes and each hand a person on welfare half of our savings as the good lord Barack Hussein Obama and his saints Karl Marx, Bill Clinton, and Black Jesus have taught us thus so graciously to do. Amen Comrade, Amen!

Since I haven't seen it mentioned:

The chinese rating agency Dagong downgraded the U.S. Sovereign Credit Ratings to A-.
Their reasoning: http://en.dagongcredit.com/content/details20_7580.html

While the agency lacks the heavy weight of the three big U.S. agencies because of how America handles their financial market place, it is still not that harmless as it used to be. China is not only the biggest foreign Creditor but also it's european daughter (Dagong Europe) has recently (7th june) been licenced (CRA) by the EU (ESMA).
