Defiant Boehner: "Obama Owns This Shutdown Now"

I feel that I am in the Average Middle Class. As I stated earlier that I know people that has had their HOURS CUT due to Obamacare. Look at the Hundreds of thousands of Part time jobs added to the work force. Lets remember all these people that are going to be losing their ass because of these Cuts. You won't See or Hear Obama or Reid of any other Liberal Socialist Hack mention these people because that is not part of there narrative. Obama had so called people that his law has helped when it really has not been implemented yetbehind him today at a speech. I think he is full of Crap! Then we have all of Congress that does not have to enroll in Obamacare like we all do, because Obama Exempted them because they did not like it. If I heard right Obama changed a law after it became a Law! (Illegal) Then the  thousands of Companies that Obama exempted from Obamacare. (I thought the Constitution stopped Government favoritism? 
  I can see the good in what the Republicans are doing, and that they are looking out for the actual good of the People. I support them 100% So when I see all the Liberal Garbage coming from the media and the Socialist Idiots as linked earlier, I can only say I have no respect for the Scumbags!

The political blame game over the current partial shutdown is well underway, and House Speaker John Boehner is making his case that Senate Democrats and the president are chiefly to blame for the impasse:

"My goodness, they won't even sit down and have a discussion."

Boehner also penned an op-ed for USA Today, laying the temporary shutdown at Obama's feet:

 The president isn't telling the whole story when it comes to the government shutdown. The fact is that Washington Democrats have slammed the door on reopening the government by refusing to engage in bipartisan talks. And, as stories across the country highlight the devastating impact of Obamacare on families andsmall businesses, they continue to reject our calls for fairness for all Americans. This is part of a larger pattern: the president's scorched-Earth policy of refusing to negotiate in bipartisan way on his health carelaw, current government funding, or the debt limit. As of this morning,Senate Democrats, acting in concert with President Obama, have rejected four different proposals from the House of Representatives to keep the government running and fund basic services.

The Speaker outlined each CR the GOP-controlled House has passed since Friday, duly noting that Harry Reid's Senate rejected each offer on a party-line vote. House Republicans sat down at a half-empty bargaining table to underscore Democrats' unwillingness to even consider anything other than a "clean" continuing resolution. "We're here to say to the Senate Democrats: Come and talk to us," said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor:

Some in the media promptly responded to this attempt at messaging by...focusing on the race and gender of the Republicans at the table. Journalism. Meanwhile, some possible next steps are emerging. Conn reported earlier that House leaders are preparing a series of narrow bills to fund the VA, Washington DC's city government, and the National Parks Service -- with votes coming as early as this evening. (Senate Democrats are vowing to immediately kill these government-funding measures, just as they're refusing to enter any bipartisan negotiations). What's with the push to fund the national parks service, of all things? Because the 'shutdown' enforcers are literally trying to block octogenerian combat veterans from visiting the World War II memorial in DC. The war heroes haven't been impressed. Awesome:

Now a growing roster of politicians on both sides of the aisle are either asking not to be paid during the duration of the shutdown, or are donating their salary to charity. For a refresher on what is, and is not, happening as a result of this partial federal work stoppage, read this and this.
