Via The Hill:
President Obama said Republicans in Congress were threatening to make the United States into “a deadbeat” and a “banana republic” with their maneuvers to tie the federal budget and the debt ceiling to defunding ObamaCare.
Speaking at a Ford truck plant outside of Kansas City, Mo., the president chided Republican leaders for their vote earlier Friday on legislation that would keep the government funded into December, while stripping funding for the Affordable Care Act.
“You don’t have to threaten to blow the whole thing up just because you don’t get your way,” Obama said. “Nobody gets 100 percent of what they want.”
Telegraphing his intention to veto any spending bill that delayed or defunded his signature health care law, Obama accused Republicans of lacking “the same common sense” and willingness to compromise that ordinary Americans showed in their marriages and family finances.
