Why on earth would Obama negotiate with the Republicans who aren't doing their job, of passing a budget so the country can run? What self respecting president would negotiate with an out of control minority in congress when they are holding the entire country hostage to a single ideological issue?
Like John McCain says, the Democrats won, they passed Obamacare, then they won again. America endorsed Obamacare and the R's lost the issue. Now they are trying to roll back the clock on it. Well that isn't how the system works. The Teapublicans need to get out of the way and allow the budget to be passed so the country can move forward.
Negotiating with them would be as bad as negotiating with hostage takers, because that is exactly what they are . . . hostage takers, only they have the whole US as hostage.
I'm against the affordable health care act, and voting record somewhat reflects that. I lost. I've dealt with it, and will vote again when the time comes that would put people in position not to let it happen again. What's there to discuss. It went through as a law. It is a law. We fund enforcement of the law. I don't like that law, but it's a law. We fund our enforcement of the law through the budget. Changing the law to agree to fund it is pretty much hijacking the process. Crazily, I've seen many more conservative republicans use the constitution as reference as how it is unconstitutional. Choosing to change law that has gone through supreme appellate court confirmed it constitutional. So after all this mess, waste of money, something that our elected officials (who were voted in when liberals ran the country) created as passed the correct way because us stupid americans could vote right, we're stuck with it. Quit fighting it, let it go through, let the republics' assholes heal as the bill fails with full republican support, then propose a new resolution. You realize dems now have a great excuse if this does fail.....it didn't get bi-partisan support. This is politics, we have shitty democrats winning because republicans are bad at losing. Pass the budget, start working together, and a great fiscal conservative leader will rise out of the heap of shit we call our government.
It's NOT "the law of the land", because Obama has decided on numerous occasions to unilaterally "amend" it, period. It should be scrapped for that reason alone - nevermind the fact that the president lied and lied and lied about it, then sneaked it through the backdoor via a Democratic majority in both houses, most of whom now regret that they were stupid enough to trust the POS and vote for it without even reading it.
The Repubs should continue to fight tooth and nail no matter what the short term consequences are. They need to really go after this POS and do their best to impeach him now, regardless of whatever race rioting and civil unrest it may cause. This guy won't stop until he's stopped. And some of you should lay off of MSNBC.

I get that Obamacare is bad. It wasn't snuck it, the country voted for a democratic majority in both house and senate with Universal Health Care as a top priority. This was big deal, they didn't sneak it in, they rammed it down our throats and the majority wanted it.
What I'm saying is that if republicans fight tooth and nail on this, they lose. Fighting tooth and nail doesn't have short term consequences, it's long term. As a democrat who does not like democrats right now, I'd like to jump ship and get some sane people running our government, but I can't because you guys are nuts. This was passed by a majority and should go through the same process to have it overturned; new legislation. "It should be scrapped" doesn't help. It is a law; I'm not sure what "law of the land" relevance is. It was a sloppy law, and shame on us for voting in people that would allow that. Now let's move on and start looking how we're going to reign in spending.
