SHUT-DOWN “SMACK-DOWN” – GOP CRUSHED! BOEHNER BONER’D!!

.

.

There’s simply no nice way to put this.  GOP House Speaker John Boehner (OH) lost on all accounts in his party’s quest to keep the government shut-down until Obamacare could be scaled back by the GOP.

.

After two-weeks of government shut down costing around $20-billion and coming right up to the debt default precipice (October 17th) the Tea Party-inspired insurrection by the House of Representatives to bring this country to its knees accomplished a total of:    some additional wording making the income verification requirements for Obamacare a little more rigorous.  Wow!  Look, honey, I shrunk the government and got bupkus in return!!

.

Aside from this additional wording the House and Senate will both vote tonight to re-open the government until January 15th and keep the debt ceiling increase operational until February 7th.

.

President Obama got exactly what he demanded all along and nothing less.  But in addition, he actually got something “more”.  Language was inserted into the legislation to re-open the government requiring the House of Representatives to come up with their own budget (the Senate already formulated one this past Spring) no later than Friday, December 13th.

.

GOP House Speaker John Boehner – after all sorts of legislative trial balloons to inflict damage to Obamacare simply got “Boner’d” by his own Tea Party caucus who should’ve known all along that the chances of derailing Obamacare at this juncture were nonexistent.

Game.  Set.  Match.  Way To Go Obama For STANDING FAST!!!!
