have seen it before, good clip.


and this, from an article about obama's earlier rose garden speech:

'The president says Republicans should not be able to hold the entire economy "hostage." '

he's right, they shouldn't be able to. but they are right now. that's exactly what they're doing, willingly harming this country because they want obamacare gone. republicans conceded a shutdown was harmful, but went ahead with their plan anyway. it's a disgrace.

i don't like obamacare, but this move by the tea partiers is a horrible step in the wrong direction.
i hope obama either issues an executive order raising the ceiling, or he has the mint issue some high denomination coinage. shove this bs right down the throat of one small group of congress, who is willfully engaging in behavior harmful to this country.
oh, and don't forget...while people are furloughed, etc...congress still gets their paychecks.
