Bob Woodward: GOP Using ‘Extortion, Blackmail’

[DearAbby]

Recalling the 2011 showdown over the debt ceiling on Meet the Press Sunday morning, Bob Woodward warned that a group of House Republicans was again using “extortion and blackmail methods” to hold a vote hostage, this time over Obamacare funding.

“This is really serious,” Woodward said. “Back in 2011, when the crisis visited them, the Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner was running around saying, ‘If we don’t fix this we could trigger a depression worse than the 1930s.’ When I talked to Obama about this, he said it was the most intense three weeks of his presidency.”

“The Republicans are out here, a group of them in the House, essentially using extortion and blackmail methods to say, ‘If we don’t defund Obamacare, we’re not going to do the routine things of government,’”

Looks like the sane Republicans are going to sound the alarm.
