Apparently there isn’t any weekly presidential address this week because of the government shutdown. And the people who put this together have been furloughed because of the government shutdown but President Obama. Still needing to get his message out doing this interview instead. But he’s right that if Speaker John Boehner brings the Senate clean government funding bill using the House budget numbers to the House floor. It would pass with something like thirty Republican Representatives voting for it and the government shutdown would be over.

About Erik Schneider

I use the American Liberal photo as the cover photo for this blog, because that’s exactly what I am. And no, not in the stereotypical, sort of pop culture sense of what an American Liberal is supposed to be. But someone who represents what American liberalism, as well as European liberalism, and perhaps the liberalism of the rest of the world outside of the United States. Liberals are people who believe in defense of liberal democracy, as well as the preservation of liberal democracy. And of course we also believe in liberal democracy with all the individual rights, and other liberal values that come from liberal democracy, the liberal democratic form of government, like equal opportunity, equal rights, equal justice, property rights, individual freedom and freedom of choice for everybody, as well as limited but responsible government, and fiscal responsibility
