Mayor Vincent Gray speaks with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid during a news conference on the ongoing budget battle Wednesday on Capitol Hill. 276 Share to Facebook Share on Twitter Share on LinkedIn Add to PersonalPost Share via Email Print Article More By Mike DeBonis and Ed O’Keefe, Wednesday, October 9, 1:39 PM E-mail the writer An unusual confrontation took place on the U.S. Capitol steps Wednesday when District Mayor Vincent C. Gray crashed a news conference held by Senate Democrats and asked Majority Leader Harry Reid to exempt the city from the ongoing shutdown. “Sir, we are not a department of the government,” Gray told Reid moments after the mayor concluded his own press event about 50 yards from where Reid held one. “We’re simply trying to be able to spend our own money.”

Priest: Obama Admin. Denied Mass to Catholics How about trying this one on for size? Here is the press release headline from Congressman Tim Huelskamp’s office this afternoon: Obama Administration Denies Mass to Catholics Apparently, a priest was denied access to a military chapel this weekend. Father Ray Leonard serves at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia but because of the government shutdown, he wasn’t allowed to go to celebrate Mass this past weekend. He is contracted by the Defense Department to meet the spiritual needs of Catholics, but not now. The chapel doors were locked and the sign said, “Shutdown: No Catholic service till further notice.” Father Leonard said the following: “This is our church, Catholics have an expectation and obligation to attend Mass and we were told, ‘No you can’t go to church this week…“ My parishioners were upset. They were angry and dismayed. They couldn’t believe that in America they’d be denied access to Mass by the government.” Rep. Tim Huelskamp had this reaction: “Time and time again this Administration demonstrates it is waging a war against the very religious freedoms upon which America was founded. This is exactly why we worked to pass legislation (House Concurrent Resolution 58) this past weekend – to protect the religious liberties of all those who bravely serve in our Armed Forces.” The Brody File will follow up.

Kenneth, If I were President Obama, I would have a little private personal talk with Boehner and say, "Mr. Boehner, my legacy, Obamacare is law and I have my legacy. However, your Republicans are coming up for elections and if you want to take the US over the cliff with default that is your choice. However, I am in office for 2 plus years. I do not worry about my legacy since I already have mine. But, where are you Mr. Boehner? What will be you legacy. Thanks but no thanks Mr. Boehner. If you wish to bargain in good faith, defined, "making offers and counter offers without reason." The normal process is placing all proposals on the same time with the cost factor included. What would be the constituents response if they knew what they would be giving up, if they saw what they would lose vs the cost of the total package produced by the Republicans. By the way, "NO" is and acceptable answer in bargaining. But, you have to bare the cost. In other words let the US crash if Boehner want to play that card with his Tea Party types. They will go down with the ship. Hold firm Obama.
