President Obama warned Americans against the negative effects of a government shutdown and chastised Republicans in Congress for failing to pass a budget resolution. Calling their behavior the “height of irresponsibility,” the president urged the House of Representatives to pass the Senate bill before the deadline at midnight tonight. What is so ironic about the Republicans is that they claim they are doing what America wants them to do. President Obama makes clear that is not the case. The American people re-elected him convincingly. They elected a Democratic majority in the Senate. The Supreme Court evaluated the Affordable Care Act and deemed it Constitutional. They are NOT doing what the majority of Americans want them to do. They are trying to use this spending bill as ransom so that they can do what, exactly? They lost the battle at the ballot box and in the courts.
