Because Obama arbitrarily grants exemptions with little reason or rationale?

Just look how his admin arbitrarily protected 'certain' stock holders in GM and let the rest of them lose it all. His admin completely voided the corporate structure in order to make Obama look better to a certain voting block.

The court is giving that exemption. Grind supports it because it is important for him to kiss ass. Much more important than the rights of women.

Again. Actions count, not the attempt to justify them after the fact. He stubbornly kept the government shut down for something he later found he had to do anyway.

In politics it is the actions that mean things. At least legislation would have something to do with arbitrary changes to his "signature law" rather than Executive fiat. He isn't a king, he doesn't get to both legislate and execute law, it is, IMO, time to stop his acting like one.

What utter non-sense Damo. What you're really saying is that your mad the the Obama administration did not give in to extortion. Obama didn't have to justify anything. He didn't shut the government down. He doesn't control the purse strings. He simply refused to give in to extortion. Spare me the revisionist history.

Obama's insistence that policy measures be assessed based on their policy merits is an outrage.

The new leftist canard; debate and negotiation with the opposition party is extortion; you dimwits are repugnantly stupid when you parrot such moronic and clueless nonsense.

Yes he did; he is in charge and chose a shutdown rather than working with, in a bi-partisan way, the minority party in control of the White House knowing that America is filled with clueless dullards like you who will selectively blame the opposition like good little trained circus monkeys.

Irony; you claim someone else is engaging in revisionist history using the dimwitted canard that talking to the opposition is now extortion. Not only are you a leftist simpleton, but repugnantly stupid and gullible.

The President is in CHARGE of the Government. It cannot shut down without his involvement and complicit approval to do so.

Your talking points are those of an ignorant hyper partisan dullard incapable of thinking or having a rational thought.

Here's a clue for your lefttard dimwits; Obama deliberately allowed the shutdown on false pretenses because he knew dimwits like you would parrot his moronic class envy canards.

He also lied when he claimed that the shutdown would harm the American economy; it didn't.

But still brain dead unthinking dullards like you want to parrot the same tired old boring false canards in a vacuum of reality or the historic record; yay you!

He explained that negotiation under the situation the House Republicans created was not good for America.

Once again we see the arrogant leftist presumption about what is “good” for America. I would argue that the best thing for America right now would be for all presumptuous arrogant leftists like Obama to step down and let experienced people take over to turn this recovery around.

After four years of massive deficits and malaise, individuals with a modicum of intelligence can comprehend he is a failure.

It would have been akin to negotiating with terrorists in that it would encourage more of the same.

There you go again, parroting the repulsive and false canard equating Republicans to terrorists. You dunces are shameless and repugnant dumbasses you know that?

Bullshit, that sstatement was not after the fact.

Yes, it was. They planned their "reaction" and stuck to it, justifying it rather than reasoning.

It didn't matter to him how reasonable something may be, only that he "won".. and because of that he managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of a victory handed to him. He wound up doing exactly what they asked for, proving them right, while at the same time it was too late for it to stop him from being exposed as a liar. The GOP actually gave him an out, one that he was so stubborn to grab at that he wound up taking it in the short hairs. Had he grabbed at it, the ACA would still be partially acceptable to people and the battle for "keep your doctor" wouldn't be until election time this year.

If he had granted the extension while the Republicans were demanding it in exchange for opening the government... we would be looking at another shut down this month in "exchange" for something else. Based on how President Obama expertly handled the "hostage situation" the Republicans are not likely to try that again.

What is even more astounding is the fact that he thinks he is a true libertarian, when in reality he has become a douche bag left wing nut.

he is the biggest fake libertarian around. I am glad others are finally starting to see the truth about him.

You don't believe what? That Catholics should get an exemption for birth control? You claimed to, previously.

I don't believe one religion should get preference over the other. But if you are asking me do I believe someone should be forced to buy something they don't want then the answer is obviously no and I don't see how a true libertarian could take issue with that.

is that because he's been negotiating so hard with them since November?.....
