There is nothing they can do to defund Obamacare. The funds for it have already been allocated aka...it's already funded. This is yet another futile attempt to waste taxpayers money and put the economy at risk by a bunch of sore losers that can't get past the fact that they lost. 69% of the country says it is stupid to shut down the government. They are attaching a rider to the budget bill that has nothing to do with the budget. They are holding the economy and people's jobs hostage...something that could have been avoided by just passing a clean budget bill and then dealing with any other issues that they have later. It's not really 2 sides digging in, it is the republicans insisting on defunding Obamacare and democrats insisting on a clean budget bill. As the president said, it is wrong to hold the country hostage just to rehash what happened in the last election just because they do like a bill. This is childish and irresponsible...and I would even say treasonous. This is not helping the country or the people of the Unites States of America...it is only hurting them so a bunch of sore losers can play political games.

Where in this article does it say one political party holding US to ransom? Here is a quote in case you missed this part: On Capitol Hill there were signs only of the two sides digging into their respective corners, with the House Republican Conference having what several sources described as their best conference in months after Speaker John Boehner's demands to gut Obamacare prompted the budget impasse. And at a private Democratic lunch in the Senate's ornate Mansfield Room, speaker after speaker heaped praised on Reid for his no-compromise stand, attendees said. Notice the first sentence? Where it says "the two sides digging into their respective corners."? What's really going on is that the GOP does not want Obamacare fully funded right now. They are at the table waiting for the Dems to come and sit down to compromise. You have a Democratic POTUS who is threatening to veto ANY bill that does not fully fund Obamacare. You have Dems that are not willing to compromise. It seems that BOTH sides are holding the US hostage.
