Sunday, October 6, 2013 - A-List on Americanism by Rich Valdes
NEW YORK, October 6, 2013 — While Americans are bombarded daily
with news of the federal shutdown, A-Lister Miley Cyrus took to the
Saturday Night Live stage in New York City this Saturday. Cyrus dished
up comic relief, mocking Congresswoman Michelle Bachman with a SNL
version of House Speaker John Boehner in a racy yet humorous skit.
Separately, what wasn’t so humorous were the comments that Boehner
directed at the White House on Friday in response to a senior White
House Official’s statement “We are winning…It doesn’t really matter to
us” how long the shutdown lasts “because what matters is the end result.”
President Obama and the Senate Democrats remain unwilling to speak or
work with Republicans to open the federal government, though the
president briefly cooperated with Republicans to provide back-pay to
federal workers. Obama is still rejecting Republican efforts to fund cancer
treatments for children or allow World War II veterans access to their
Washington memorial, according to Time.com.
Friday, Boehner stood behind a podium with a large sign reading
“#LetsTalk” on it, and yet again tried to get Obama and Senate Democrats
to work on a solution to fund the federal government. He said, ”It’s not a
damn game … Americans want their government funded and so do I!”
On Sunday, Boehner reiterated that reopening the government is not a
reality unless the president and Senate Democrats are willing to budge in
negotiations. Boehner cited the Republicans’ willingness to work with the
administration since last year, referencing a tax increase that Republicans
in the House conceded to the president in last year’s fiscal cliff
negotiations.
Even with Miley’s humorous re-mix of her hit “We Can’t Stop,” the laughter
is only temporary, as America goes into her second week of the federal
government shutdown. Although recent polls don’t know for sure: some
critics say that most Americans aren’t feeling the effects of the shutdown
and politicians should consider eliminating all non-essential jobs
altogether to save money and balance the federal budget, while others
say it’s impact is severe on veterans and citizens looking to sign up for the
Affordable Care Act but cannot due to glitches in the systems roll-out. One
thing we know for sure is that Miley Cyrus is not expected to run for
president in 2016 nor will she be mediating negotiations to re-open the
government.

Yea, that is the truth, the left does not care about the people, they think they are
winning, so it is "winning" to them. They could careless, just so they "win" but.....they
may be in for a rude awaking.
