"Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate." - John F. Kennedy Bill Clinton: Obama Can’t Negotiate With GOP on Debt Ceiling, Shutdown The former president knocks Republicans for insisting on health care law delay By Dan Hirschhorn Sept. 29, 201353 Comments Former President Bill Clinton, who successfully outmaneuvered Republicans over a government shutdown in the 1990s, said Sunday that President Barack Obama is right not to give ground to the GOP this time around. Clinton, knocking Republicans for using the threat of a shutting down the government or not increasing the debt limit to delay Obama’s health care reform law, said on ABC’s This Week that “the current price of stopping is higher than the price of letting the Republicans do it and taking their medicine.”
The House passed a bill Saturday night that would continue to fund the government, while also delaying implementation of the health law for a year. The measure is dead on arrival in the Senate, and Obama has promised to veto it if passed anyway.
=*= This is the one the Democrats should have accepted. Since Obama has already made 17 exceptions to it without congress (legislative approval) and has exempted everyone 'except' US what harm could a years delay have-if they've even got it ready by then? It would have also made it better for him when he asks the republicans for a deficit increase. Wait til that comes up and AHA surfaces again because without an increase AHA can't be funded.
“You can’t negotiate over that,” Clinton said. “And I think he’s right not to.”
=*= Clinton should have read the quote above before he made that statement =*=
Barring a last-minute deal, funding for most government operations expires at midnight on Tuesday. The nation is scheduled to reach its borrowing limit next month.
"Merry Christmas & Happy New Year"
Cause it ain't gona be!
=*= But don't worry the country won't shut-down until some time in 2014 =*=
I'm guessing about the end of February when the markets drop ONE THOUSAND POINTS from their 2013 high.
When the Nation sees it no longer has money to operate-similar to the government.
All the 'fatcats' will hoard what they got and proceed to take the last of what we've got!

Yep! That's exactly what I said. I also said:
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. [[ That's "US" ]]

Jay Carney is a "Mealy Mouth" puppet of Obama's to answer questions Barry can't or won't,
I'd call him a *Stooge!
* a weak or unimportant person who is controlled by a powerful person, organization, etc.

The Arizona Conservative Feds Spare No Expense to Close Popular Tourist Sites An excerpt: John Semmens: Semi-News — A Satirical Look at Recent News Determined to put a real “sting” into the shutdown of the federal government in the absence of Congressional passage of a continuing resolution, the federal government incurred the added expense of shuttering popular open-air tourist sites. “Money isn’t the issue,” National Parks Director Jonathan Jarvis insisted. “These parks are owned by the federal government. We say when they are open and when they are closed.” As it turns out, the NPS exercised more authority than it has. The blockades included privately funded sites that the NPS “mistakenly believed” they had the right to close. The most prominent of these was Mount Vernon—the former home of George Washington that is now run by a privately funded foundation. For that matter, though it sits on federally owned land, the WWII memorial was also built with privately raised donations. Not all of the blockades were successful. Washington, DC’s World War II memorial was successfully invaded by a contingent of 80 and 90-year-old veterans. “We had White House authorization to use deadly force if necessary,” said Park Ranger Bob Weaver. “But without comprehensive gun control laws we couldn’t be sure we wouldn’t be outgunned. Let’s not forget that some of these old guys stormed the beaches of Normandy facing down Nazi artillery and machine guns—firepower that, thus far, has been denied to us.” Weaver didn’t sound optimistic that the NPS’s most recent ploy of wiring the barricades together would keep out the invading vets. “It’s not barbed wire and we can’t lay down a pattern of automatic weapons fire to deter the vets from penetrating the perimeter. Fortunately, this generation is dying off and future efforts to prevent unauthorized intrusions onto government property should go more smoothly.” Out west, tourists are utilizing helicopter tours to bypass the government’s closure of Grand Canyon National Park’s roadway entrances. NPS Director Jarvis is pressing the President to declare a “no fly zone” over the Park. “The government owns the airspace over the Canyon just as much as the ground on which the park sits,” Jarvis contended. “If we say the Park is closed no one has the right to view any part of it by any means. Flying over our barricades to sneak a peek is like stealing. It’s just plain wrong. azconservative.org/category/john-semmens/ |

Excerpt: The military of the United States is deployed in more than 150 countries around the world, with 172,966 of its 1,372,522[1] active-duty personnel serving outside the United States and its territories. Most of these overseas personnel are deployed in combat zones in the Middle east, as part of the War on Terror. Many of the remainder are located at installations activated during the Cold War, by which the US government sought to challenge the Soviet Union in the aftermath of World War II.[2] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_deployments |

NSA Crane is a United States Navy installation located approximately 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Bloomington, Indiana and predominantly located in Martin County, but small parts also extend into Greene and Lawrence counties. It was originally established in 1941 under the Bureau of Ordnance as the Naval Ammunition Depot for production, testing, and storage of ordnance under the first supplemental Defense Appropriation Act. The base is named after William M. Crane. The base is the third largest naval installation in the world by geographic area and employs approximately 3300 people. The closest community is the small town of Crane, which lies adjacent to the northwest corner of the facility.
