No...this rest SOLELY on the shoulders of obstructionist REPUBLICANS who chose to shut down the Government.
Why yes dimwit; how can we possibly blame the President for ANYTHING that happens in his own country??!!
Yes, you really are THAT stupid.

So can you explain why the brilliant Harvard-educated constitutional scholar didn't spot the deficiency and bring it to the worlds' attention before he signed it?
Instead, he was surprised when his choice for Sec Def allowed the Pentagon to deny the payments...like everyone else.
Is there anything he's responsible for that happens on his watch?
Spin some more, Zappy.
Tell me how many budgets Obama has had passed during his terms in office so far?
Because only DOD civilians that provide support to members of the armed forces can be paid under the law.
I agree that Obama fucked up here. I mean, assuming that the House Republicans are competent will always get you in trouble.
I thought cnn was an extension of Fukx and just as right wing.
It doesn't authorize payments to the Armed Forces. It authorizes payments to members of the Armed Forces. When those members die, how can payments be made them?
So what I'm hearing is that Obama, having a bill that passed the House by a vote of 423-0 and the Senate by a unanimous voice vote, should have veoted the bill because the language was wrong? Really? Because that's kind of the only option Obama had at that point.
Are you really this stupid; the Commander and Cheif is so inept he can't pay the widows of his armed forces their death benefits; a paltry sum I might add.
No one is tying the Presidents hands; he's playing brain dead twits like you for all he can in a political gamble there are enough empty headed twits like you in the country to give him a majority in 2014 so he won't have to bother with leading, something he is incapable of, but dictating as he did in his first two years burying us in debt and malaise.
And yes, you really are THAT stupid.
As long as Republicans continue to shut down the govt., it will automatically be the number one mid term issue
That's right...because obstructionist Republicans think they can use the benefits our servicemen and women have earned to try and blackmail Democrats into giving into their ridiculous demands.
NONE of this would be happening if OBSTRUCTIONIST REPUBLICANS hadn't shut down the Government over their petty, partisan hatred of the President.
LOL. I'll make the same challenge to you that I did to Big Money: quote the statutory authority for the President to make payments to the survivors of members of that are killed.

You're proof that even the most empty headed buffoon can be trained to parrot the idiot talking pints of the left. With enough kool-aid, even the smallest most inactive brain can be brought to a level of dullard.
We don't need the statutory authority; we need a President who has the leadership skills that enable him to pre-empt such partisan bickering before shutdowns like this occur and has the maturity to realize that he HAS to work WITH the majority in the House. Not a petulant, immature, whiney demagogue who thinks he can insult, impugn as terrorists and beat his opponents in the court of public opinion like a brain dead community organizer on permanent campaign mode.
The argument is much bigger than digging through statutory requirements trying to make dimwitted excuses for the incredible lack of leadership that represents this childish buffoon you probably helped elect and re-elect.
I am quite certain you don't get what I am talking about because you really are THAT stupid.
It's simply astounding how Republicans refuse to accept that average Americans see what's going on right now and who's responsible.
Republicans shut down the Government and THEY are solely responsible for the events that resulted from that shutdown.
Just engage in some more childish name calling! Tea-Bagging Congressional heroes
