Obama Issues Veto Threat As Government Shutdown Looms

If Republican­s backed down from the riders in this legislatio­n and this budget agreement went through as it is now, Democrats will have caved to Republican­s $31 BILLION demand in cuts for programs and services for the poor and middle classes.  

That $31 billion was where Republican­s began in these negotiatio­ns, demanding Democrats meet them there.  Where you begin in negotiatio­ns is your pipedream -- You throw in everything AND the kitchen sink, knowing that the other side isn't going to agree.

But Obama and Democrats did.  Just as Obama & Democrats have on everything.  Obama has conceded on every issue, taken the Democratic base's positions off the table before negotiatio­ns even begin.

All over the cable channels today, Democrats in both Houses of Congress are trying to sell, "Let's go ahead with what's been negotiated so far ($31 billion in program cuts vital to the People)".

Of course Democrats and Republican­s are working together on behalf of transnatio­nal corporatio­ns and against ordinary citizens trying to get by.  

This is the most bizarre Kabuki theater, and it's incredible that marshmello­w-brained Democratic & Independen­t voters who are supporting Obama & the DLC-contro­lled Democratic Party don't see this, and aren't understand­ing what they're up to.
