we might have a little bit of a breakthrough here because a better has
revealed his hand as it were
so for small President Obama over the last couple days has been going around
pressuring Republicans
how's he doing that by going to the voters now what good would that do
no no no he's going to people that matter most in wash them the donors
so he's been beseeching Wall Street CEOs and other corporate executives
he met with them on Wednesday he also said on CNBC
that it's important for wall street to recognize that this is going to have a
profound impact
on our economy and their bottom lines their employees
and their shareholders everything about this a little strange isn't it I mean
if the president randomly in the middle of a government shutdown picks one
industry and says
listen it's important for the dentist American understand
but this could really cost them business people be I want why the dentist
well in this case no one even really blinks and I cuz we know why
he goes to the bankers and talks The Wall Street because the other guys who
in there immortal words have dick Durbin said frankly
own the place they run the place in Washington DC
so he goes basically two the republicans bosses
Mr also his own boss it's almost like they had a little fight with an office
and Obama goes running up to the bosses says with what they're doing gotta make
them stop
and it turns out that tactic is largely working Wall Street is
leading republicans know listen man it's not the way to go
so all the sudden we've got a report and the new york times the john bainer has
in fact all republican colleagues
that when it comes to the debt limit which we reach october 17 as a
second of the two fights that were in the middle up one is the shutdown
related
to another continuing resolution which funds the government
others the debt ceiling where we would even pay the debt we already owe
the republics have threatened that and they have in some ways combined the two
fights
and threaten to combine them even more well apparently John better told those
republican colleagues
or no no no no no we're not going to do that we're gonna resolve this thing
and there's no way that we're going to jeopardize
the full faith and credit of the United States so what ass to respond to that
spokesperson pretty much confirmed it
by not confirming so I will do political speak here for you guys so you can
decipher what they are saying Michael steel spokesman for bay'-nur says
the speaker or always always
performers to pass legislation with a strong republican majority
look normally we go to war own caucus with go to the democrats who say what
would you guys like to do
and even if combined with the democrats the minority within the republicans
would win
we don't allow that that's called a has to rule we have to the majority of the
majority which
is another wave ironically referring to the minority welcome to nineteen
eighty-four
so normally do within their own caucus Lego in the journal house
he's gonna allow for a vote in the house and when he does
some republicans who've already crossed over many times they did
during the sandy cleanup needed to for
a in the Violence Against Women Act and they did in other funding situation
three different times
republicans so-called moderate republicans will switch over what the
democrats
and the bill will pass the house in fact did you know that
all John Baker has to do is actually perot Provo
the continuing resolution that's clean that doesn't involve Obama can fund the
government
it would definitely passed the House it would definitely pass the Senate
the president would definitely sign it it so I love the comedy other bob was a
all we're not doing anything its all on bainer to make that decision apparently
he's gonna head in that direction
certainly the debt-limit fight but perhaps it'll affect the government
shutdown as well
and then Michael Steele finally says also again member
a been a spokesperson the speaker has always been clear
the default would be disastrous
for our economy so in other words
believe me I got the note from wall street I'm not looking to lose my job
hunt out looking to lose
all my daughter's we will not be going to a debt default
we will raise the dead ceiling that Abbas
last air worse case scenarios on october seventeenth
will happen comfortably before that because Wall Street has spoken
and apparently as usual republican leadership
as listen
