Did Obama Blink?

President “I will not negotiate” Obama has agreed to meet with congressional leaders, including Republicans, to discuss the government shutdown. Apparently, Mr. Obama thinks that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker John Boehnerdeserve the same respect as foreign dictators. This is progress.
Or maybe not.
Shortly after the after the meeting was announced, White House press secretary Jay Carney said that the Wednesday night meeting won’t be a negotiation. The president is “not going to sit down and start asking for puts and takes,” he said, according to Politico. Hmm.

Mr. Boehner’s office, meanwhile, is under the impression that the White House called the meeting to, well, negotiate an end to the shutdown. “We’re pleased the president finally recognizes that his refusal to negotiate is indefensible,” said a spokesman for Mr. Boehner, according to Roll Call. “It’s unclear why we’d be having this meeting if it’s not meant to be a start to serious talks between the two parties.”
Part of the reason that Mr. Obama has been able to drive a hard bargain is the polling. Yes, surveys show that ObamaCare is unpopular with voters and growing more so by the day.

I spoke to a young man this morning. He could be no more than 20. I had to get something fixed which was vandalized this morning and he was there to assist.
I started ranting and raving about the evil in the world and corruption. He mentioned yes the media never tell the whole story.
Then I started to say..well let me tell you about Benghazzi, let me tell you about Mr Strange and Mrs Smith’s young men who were cremated by the military w/o parents permission and the pictures a congressman saw along with Mr. Strange, let me tell you about the world banks and what they did in Greece but coming to america soon.
I soon had a captive audience. No longer was he doing his work but listening intently to the truth. His eyes started to get concern. He said, “I never knew about this stuff” . He could tell that I wasnt making this up. I said google for yourself..
I then proceeded to talk about the 8 court cases, the one that made it to the supreme court, the ones I had personally gone to, about the corrupt judges who fail to rule of the 2 defaults and 3 subpeonas..
I spoke about Harrison Bounell and his SSN and the 123 year rule. How a lawyer had to sue the federal govt to get the information release which should be released by noted protocol.
His demeanor changed to concern. He said..”this sounds like a conspiracy”.
I said look up the court cases for yourself.. I’m not making any of this up. It is worse than we think. If everyone knew the truth we would revolt.
He kept saying,” I know the media is not telling us all the truth. I didn’t know about Benghazzi and Seal Team 6.” He was shocked and puzzled that the military would do that.
Children know what is right and what is wrong..
If a young child says to you,”You look fat” or “You look pretty”..they mean what they say.
What this young man said to me convinced me, if we could get the information to the children, we possibly could be set “free”..
No longer would they believe the hype..
