This shut down of the government looked like it would be resolved yesterday. But that was a hasty judgment.
The House has all it needs to force the Senate to back down. The President? Maybe not. In any case, the President will remain in office for the next 3 years. The only way to beat his veto is by getting a 2/3 rds majority, which is very unlikely.
So, if Obama wants to drag this on forever, he could. The Senate probably won't. The House may lose its nerve and cave in.
Still, the House should fund all departments except that which funds ObamaCare, and let it rip. It should be obvious who is causing this problem, if it actually is a problem. A shut down of the government isn't that big of a deal. It is only a big deal for the politicians.
The thing I worry about is the resolution of the GOP in the House. They could go wobbly on us for sure.
ObamaCare isn't free, you know. You people that support this law aren't going to get something for nothing. But that is how the left will bribe people into falling for it.
