Republican Rep. John Fleming told the New York Times he was opposed to the deal to reopen the federal government and raise the debt ceiling. He also suggest he's ready for another showdown.
Said Fleming: "I'll vote against it. But that will get us into Round 2. See, we're going to start this all over again."
The Party Of NO obstructionism will continue... if we let them. It's way past time for some Republican Leadership!

A teller counts US dollars and Chinese 100-yuan notes at a bank in Hefei, east China's Anhui province on January 16, 2011 AFP - A Chinese ratings agency downgraded its US sovereign credit rating Thursday despite Washington's resolution of the debt ceiling deadlock, warning that fundamentals for a potential default remained "unchanged".
Dagong lowered its ratings for US local and foreign currency credit from A to A-, maintaining a negative outlook, the agency said in a statement.
The announcement came after the US Congress passed and President Barack Obama signed a bill that extends the nation's borrowing authority and ends a two-week government shutdown.
"The fundamental situation that the debt growth rate significantly outpaces that of fiscal income and gross domestic product remains unchanged," Dagong said in the statement, adding Washington's solvency was vulnerable as old debts were still repaid through raising new debts.
"Hence the government is still approaching the verge of default crisis, a situation that cannot be substantially alleviated in the foreseeable future," it said.
Dagong made headlines in August 2011 when it lowered its main rating for US sovereign debt after Congress passed an earlier bill to raise Washington's debt ceiling.
The agency, which is far less prominent than long-established Western competitors including Moody's, Fitch and Standard and Poor's, has been working to further raise its profile.
China's official news agency Xinhua said Thursday in a bylined commentary that US politicians had held the rest of the world hostage in the crisis.
But Beijing welcomed the agreement, saying it will contribute to global economic stability.

"Because the trend lines are unmistakable, and they're looking better all the time: If she wants to run in 2016, Hillary Rodham Clinton could have the easiest walk into the White House of any candidate in either party since, well, one has to go back a very long way. Maybe to Reagan in '84. LBJ in '64, or Eisenhower in '52, or even FDR in 1932, 1936 and 1940. The presidency is looking like it's hers to lose, more than ever."

You mean the same Hillary that tried to shove her brand of health-care down our throats, the same Hillary who did nothing to help those in Benghazi where 4 people died, the same Hillary who told us a lie about a movie that caused the Benghazi attack, that Hillary.

Wow! It's like a printed version of FoxSnooze talking points on our very own message board.

Hillary has a lot of baggage that she will be hammered with all the way back to her dealings with White Water. Hillary was in charge of the State department and Benghazi happened under her watch, fact. Hillary went right along with the phony story about a movie causing the attack, fact. She tried to force health-care on us when Clinton was President but it failed, fact. Where's your facts Box?

It's like FoxSnooze with every post. ~Remember the "outrage" at Rev Wright? Fox was "outraged", America yawned and voted for Obama. ~Remember all the 'birther' coverage on Fox? America read the truth, and laughed at the FoxSnooze groupies, then voted for Obama. ~Remember White Water, Vince Foster, and all the Scandals of the Month on FoxSnooze? Nov. 5, 1996, Bill Re-elected president with 49 percent of the popular vote and 379 electoral votes, defeating Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., and Reform Party candidate Ross Perot.
(Even after the Monica Disaster, polls showed that if Bill Clinton could run for a 3rd term, he'd beat both GW Bush and Al Gore.)

The fact is Hillary has a lot of personal baggage that any candidate who runs against her will use to prove she is not up to the task of being President. In her own words when she ran against Obama, when the phone rings at 2am what will you do. Well now everyone knows what she will do nothing, same as she did with Benghazi.

Keep ringing the Benghazi bell Shadow. You (and the TeaBaggers) are the only ones who hear it. Just like Vince Foster, just like Whitewater, etc. Oh and if you think that Hillary's health care bill will hurt her chances of winning, you are still living in FoxSnooze past.

You mean that cable news network that caused such an uproar over at MSNBC that they called for an investigation because Megan Kelly obliterated Rachel Maddow on her second day?
Maybe someone should have told Phil Griffin that an intelligent, attractive woman beats a presentable looking boy with a v agina every time.

"I think the tea party and Ted Cruz have peaked," Schumer said. "First, they've so alienated their colleagues. But second, the tactics of the tea party — 'I'm gonna hurt a lot of innocent people unless I get my way' — this is the first time it was in the spotlight, that the American people saw it. They didn't like it.
The Republican Party has learned a lesson here. And I think you're gonna see a more mainstream conservative Republican Party. I don't think we'll have the same kind of brinksmanship on Jan. 15 and Feb. 7."
Sen. Chuck Schumer
