Associated Press: President Obama: ‘No Ransom For Congress’

Associated Press: President Obama: No 'ransom' for CongressSource:Associated Press– President Barack H. Obama (Democrat, Illinois) 454th President of the United States, at The White House.

“President Barack Obama says he’s willing to not only negotiate fiscal issues with Republicans, but changes to health care law. But he says first he wants them to pass a bill to stop a partial government shutdown.”

From the Associated Press

The House could hold a vote on the Senate passed government funding bill that has House Republican numbers in it, not Democratic budget numbers. And if the bill passes, the government shutdown is over. And both Democrats and Republicans in Congress and all federal employees including President Obama can move on with their lives. But if the vote fails in the House because it doesn’t have the votes that Speaker Boehner claims, then we start over. Bt what do House Republicans have to lose in this?

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
