Eugene Robinson at the Washington Post writes Obama must not yield on Obamacare, debt ceiling or shutdown:

I happen to believe that Obamacare is a great accomplishment, providing access to medical insurance to millions of Americans who lack it and bringing the nation much closer to universal health care. It’s an imperfect law, to be sure, but it could be made much better with the kind of constructive tinkering that responsible leaders performed on Social Security and Medicare. Even if Obamacare were tremendously flawed, however, it would be wrong to let a bunch of extremist ideologues hold the country hostage in this manner. If Republicans want to repeal the reforms, they should win the Senate and the presidency. If not, they’re welcome to pout and sulk all they want — but not to use extortion to get their way.

I agree. And at this point, I am fully preparing to have both the government shut down and have America default. And the President must too. I am ready for anything that ends the Modern Republican Party once and for all. And by Modern Republican Party I am referring to every Republican who does not agree with former Republican Senator Judd Gregg in his comments inside, and of course everyone who describes themselves as a Tea Partier.
