The House has a new plan to ease the shutdown blues

“We’re going to keep passing bills on suspension that’ll continue to fund parts of government, and we’ll send them over to [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid’s desk and say keep the government running,” Louisiana Rep. John Fleming told reporters Tuesday. “We’re kind of reversing his argument, which is ‘let’s fully fund government then talk,’ what we’re saying is: ‘Let’s talk while we’re fully funding government on a piecemeal basis.’ And unfortunately he’s probably going to block the funding part, we’ll see.”

Chris Matthews: Obama Has "Met His Match" In Ted Cruz

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I think Ted Cruz is brilliant. I think the president has met his match in this guy. He set this thing up months ago with no budget agreement, therefore no appropriations, therefore the government would be completely exposed this morning, at midnight last night, to go to, to completely shut down. So he knows what he's doing. And it's about the baby, Obama’s baby. And you can't cut the baby in half. We learned that in Solomon. And they keep saying, 'please negotiate your baby, please help us take it apart.'
