Obama got another hot endorsement from a Church.

If not for the media, I wouldn't even know the government is shut down.

Raise the debt ceiling and keep operating in essential only mode. It seems to be working. In fact States and private entities are already picking up the slack. Companies all over the nation have been streamlined to survive. Time for the Federal Government to do the same.

http://news.msn.com/us/senators-clos...pen-government

just saw this, just getting moving this a.m. now, what i don't get-why members of congress keep saying 'we need spending cuts' to the president. hello. you guys write the damn budget. well, when there's a budget. when was the last time congress approved a budget?!
of course comments like that are based on them hoping people don't realize who does what-and many don't. like the lady said on jimmy kimmel, an educated electorate is important...while discussing the differences between obamacare and the ACA.

You realize congress has passed budget resolution after budget resolution and the senate has refused them? That not so long ago (during yet another ceiling raise) Sen. Schumer promised to pass a budget?

Now the taxpayer is supposed to swallow the proposal of yet another ceiling raise suspending the sequester cuts for talks on the budget?

How about this. We extend credit (debt ceiling raise) for 6 weeks while a budget that is within our means ($2.7 trillion roughly) is devised. Mind you that budget does nothing but tread water, and does nothing to address the debt but at least keeps us from sinking further into debt.

The Federal government is involved in far too many extracurricular activities outside of governing. When the first lady's tomatoes, she planted for a press OP are going bad because no National Park employees are there to attend to them we obviously have an abundance of cuts available.
