How would the Tea Party react if Obama did this?

"Unless Republicans agree to my proposal for gun control, I will use my authority as commander in chief to scuttle one aircraft carrier a week in the bottom of the ocean.

"I invite Republican leaders to come to the White House and negotiate a deal to preserve our military strength. I hope Republicans will work with me to prevent the loss of our carrier fleet.

"If the Republicans refuse to negotiate, I will be compelled to begin by scuttling the U.S.S. George Washington in the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench, with 80 aircraft on board."

You don't get it, do you? This is what the Tea Party is doing right now to the country over Obamacare.

Obama is already holding the nation, the budget, and the economy hostage, along with Reid. This is their shutdown, and they own it. Posting an opinion as a source of "fact," from the NY Times as well, is like a child molester linking to a NAMBLA website to support his argument.

For MONTHS, the house has passed budgets to where a CR isn't even needed... these are budgets that Harry Reid REFUSED to even bring up for a vote. That's all on him, and him-alone. Then, when you have this refusal to negotiate, being further pushed by a president who thinks of himself as being a king, sorry, buddy... but Obama and Reid OWN this shutdown. You can cry 2+2=3 all you want, but it doesn't make it so.

Stupid analogy, not at all what is going on. Odumya refuses to negotiate, despite your lies. The ACA was passed with tons of amendments and pork; everything the Democrats do has waivers, exemptions and amendments, why should this bill be any different?

He did something similar to the Arizona Gov. when she displeased him by letting over a million illegals free from prison so this wouldn't faze me. He has the power to end this but he is more than willing to let this blame fall on the republicans even tho they aren't in total blame for it.

What Americans need to ask themselves is how the rest of the world is going to react to OUR financial systems being held to ransom by a dysfunctional political system in the USA.
