Boehner Pens USA Today Op-Ed: 'Obama Owns This Shutdown'

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) wrote in a USA Today op-ed published Tuesday that the first federal government shutdown in 17 years lies squarely at the feet of President Barack Obama.

"The president isn't telling the whole story when it comes to the government shutdown," the speaker wrote. "The fact is that Washington Democrats have slammed the door on reopening the government by refusing to engage in bipartisan talks. And, as stories across the country highlight the devastating impact of Obamacare on families and small businesses, they continue to reject our calls for fairness for all Americans."

In an 11th hour gambit prior to a government shutdown Monday night, House Republicans attempted to enter conference committee negotiations with the Senate to achieve a resolution on a stopgap bill to temporarily keep the government funded. Senate Democrats flatly rejected, calling on the GOP to agree to fund the government and negotiate a real budget.

President Obama blasted Republicans Tuesday for for their singular focus on defunding his signature health law, the Affordable Care Act.

4. meh, what else is that halfwit supposed to say?

"I did it!" I seriously doubt that will ever happen.

5. Democrats filed a resolution back in April of this year to form a committee to negotiate

the differences between the Senate Bill and the House Bill. House Republicans flat out refused to do so. They said they would not negotiate....They were/are convinced they will get their way on this... I think they are in for a surprise this time. I know they feel like Obama is easy to roll but not this time... NOT THIS TIME..

7. Senate Republicans also blocked the committee:

8. I want what Boner's drinking

The world would look so much better if I had whatever he's imbibing.

Where do they get off telling lies like this?

Couldn't an ordinary run-of-the-mill cop get one of the stupids to tell him some basic lie about ACA and then arrest the stupid for lying to a cop? Making a false accusation?

Get creative here, people. We need to reassert that lies are unacceptable and dangerous to the liar.

9. Boner's an effing Koch tool.

10. The NYTimes Editorial Board disagrees -

By midnight on Tuesday, the leadership failure of Speaker John Boehner was complete. By encouraging the impossible quest of House Republicans to dismantle health care reform, he pushed the country into a government shutdown that will now begin to take a grievous economic toll ...

At least one news sources is placing the blame squarely on the man who deserves it.

11. How can you tell if a rethuglican is lying?

See if his lips are moving, of course.

Come on Orange Man. Don't you think the American voters know you by now
and know what to expect from you and your bullshit party of thieves and liars?
