You are reaching Fred with trying to relate having talks with foreign leaders and negotiating with Boehner......two entirely different issues. However, if you must try to relate the two.....you really can't blame Obama, most foreign leaders, even the dictators whom we hate, and hate us, are far more reasonable people than Boehner and the GOP gang of Tea Partiers.
None of which has any bearing on the fact that the majority of the people subject to the law have opposed it from the very start, that over twice as many strongly oppose the law as strongly support it, or that the Republican majority in the House was elected by the people specifically to stop the law that the Democrats railroaded through despite the stated opposition of the American people to the law.
The House is acting on the will of the people. Their vote on defunding the ACA mirrors the sentiments of the population as evidenced by the latest polls on the issue. The majority of the people do not want to be subject to the law, they do not give their consent to be governed in this manner. The "progressives" are always talking about democracy - except when democracy doesn't support their agenda. Why is that?

I'd like to know that answer as well.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

This is a perfect example of the thinking from the Left. That the GOP won't negotiate.
ACA was passed on a fluke, Obama got in with a Senate & House majority and quickly rammed a major bill through without proper vetting. Now we are back to a traditional goverment with checks and balances, time to modify and compromise on the original bill.
Archer, if "W" with a Republican House & Senate had outlawed abortion in the US, would you have wanted the ability to change the law when a new Dem House came into power next term?
More than 50% of Americans don't like the current law, let's reasonably modify it.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
The Obamacare that consumers will finally be able to sign up for next week is a long way from the health plan President Barack Obama first pitched to the nation.
Millions of low-income Americans won’t receive coverage. Many workers at small businesses won’t get a choice of insurance plans right away. Large employers won’t need to provide insurance for another year. Far more states than expected won’t run their own insurance marketplaces. And a growing number of workers won’t get to keep their employer-provided coverage.
Every branch of the federal government played a role in weakening the law over the past three years, the casualty of a divisive legislative fight, a surprise Supreme Court ruling, a complex implementation and an unrelenting political opposition. The result has been a stark gap between the promise of Obamacare and the reality — one that has fueled a deep vein of skepticism about the law as it enters its most critical phase.

Really, that is all you have anymore? Your game has really fallen.
How about the question I asked Archer. If the Republicans had passed a omnibus bill that had shut down abortion and the Supremes supported it, would you want a chance to modify or repeal it?
And try to answer without using a smiley.

There is no Huffpo/MSNBC answer for that one Fred, so don't hold your breath for an answer here.
