Worst Racism Since Gov Wallace" 1963 Segregation Forever Speech: House Changing Rules to Keep Government Shutdown

According to TPM DC Late on the night of Sept. 30, with the federal government just hours away from shutting down, House Republicans quietly made a small change to the House rules that blocked a potential avenue for ending the shutdown. With less than two hours to midnight and shutdown, Speaker John Boehner's latest plan emerged. House Republicans would "insist" on their latest spending bill, including the anti-Obamacare provision, and request a conference with the Senate to resolve the two chambers' differences.

Under normal House rules, according to House Democrats, once that bill had been rejected again by the Senate, then any member of the House could have made a motion to vote on the Senate's bill. Such a motion would have been what is called "privileged" and entitled to a vote of the full House. At that point, Democrats say, they could have joined with moderate Republicans in approving the motion and then in passing the clean Senate bill, averting a shutdown. But previously, House Republicans had made a small but hugely consequential move to block them from doing it.

President Obama presidency and this nation democracy is at stake and survival is at state. The fact that a branch of government would go to the extreme measure to shutdown government, make a rule that would keep it close unless one man Eric Cantor and then state continuously that Reid and/or President Obama is responsible for the shutdown, make unjust demands in return for letting Republican Eric Cantor bring a vote to the floor to re-open government should be exposed during a PRIME TIME ADDRESS TO THE NATION. The address should include the video of House Chair acknowledging the September rule change and footage of the Republican leadership public remarks denouncing the shutdown and blaming Reid and Obama for the government not opening. Boehner deceive nation when he say he didn't have the votes to bring motion to floor to re-open government when based on the GOP rule change he doesn't have the authority to bring the vote to the floor.

Pray for President Obama, America, John Boehner, and the Republican Party

--> A video to encourage Obama supporters of all races and national origins to pray for him and our nation during this time of GOP opposition and unfair political tactics. Praise God in song and dance and he will deliver us from the "EVIL" that has caused many fearing "CHANGE" to forget God and country to destroy President Obama. We should also pray for the GOP because the bible tells us to pray for our enemies and our leaders.

President Obama Should Use Long Airport Traveling Delays Caused by Sequester as a Political Weapon

The typo in the Sequester Bill to end long airlines delays caused by the furlough of air traffic controllers gives President Obama a chance to fight for program cuts that hurt the non-flying public. African-Americans stood in long lines for three to seven hours to vote in 2008 and 2012. Therefore, those who mocked President Obama’s efforts to prevent the sequester by flying around the country warning of long lines at our airports shouldn’t be allowed to pick and fix parts of the sequester to please their base.

 PLEASE PRESIDENT OBAMA DON’T SIGN the “Reducing Flight Delays Act of 2013.” According to a Washington Post article “Obama has pretty much tried it all. He has met privately with Republican leaders in the House, collaborated with bipartisan groups of senators and taken his case to the people, hoping that the power of public opinion could win over his opponents in Congress. This year none of those efforts have worked.”

One thing “Obama” hasn’t tried is fighting fire with fire when dealing with the Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and the GOP. The GOP routinely use self-made crises to further their agenda and to control the nation narrative i.e. debt ceiling, reducing the debt). President Obama SHOULDN’T sign a bill to “prevent reduced operations and staffing” at the FAA UNTIL Boehner and the GOP accept a deal that repeal the entire Sequester.

Boehner’s Proposal to Fix Sequester Must Contain balanced Military and Non-Military Spending Allowances

I believe that this blog is a powerful example to challenge and deny Speaker John Boehner and the GOP's decision to offer legislation to soften the pain of mandated cuts to the military budget caused by the Sequester. Any deal or fix to the Budget Control Act of 2011, must include reducing the amount of non-military spending cuts too. Providing a reliable safety net for the physically and mentally ill, poor, children and the elderly is a role the federal government must play in some of our lives. Who among us will chose to be sick, disabled, and/or poor in one of the greatest countries on earth? Should the forty-seven percent of Americans referenced by Mitt Romney during the 2012 presidential election plight be ignored? Should Boehner and Tea Party congressional members be allowed to provide political cover for themselves and Republicans governors by providing exceptions and exemptions for the military and defense contractors to the drastic cuts of the Sequester? Should President Obama agree to a deal with the GOP that doesn't repeal the entire Sequester and/or offer the same amount of monetary savings to domestic non-military spending that covers programs cuts for the sick, disabled, and/or poor? My answer to both questions is HELL NO! It's time for Speaker Boehner to put America first by risking his Speaker title. It's also time for Boehner to get off his ASS and bring a bill to the House of Representative that will repeal the entire Budget Control Act of 2011.
