Marco: Only Obama Wants to Shut Down Government

hello Lebanese Actium John Bobbitt with us right now from Capitol Hill is senator Marco Rubio senator ruby was trying to help make the case as a other

tea party conservatives that obamacare must be stopped by any means necessary and by any means necessary I

mean holding up a potential government spending bill needed to prevent a government shutdown senator good to have you with us again thank

you thank you alright so everybody in the party agrees that obamacare must be stopped at GOP members of both chambers can't seem to agree exactly how to do that as

I reveal what is the breakdown right now in the Senate among your colleagues how many GOP senator are supporting your position on this well

just personally believe it I criticizing anyone else I just personally believe that this is an issue that so damaging obamacare so damaging to the fundamental American promise but

if you work hard and you sacrifice you should have the opportunity to achieve a better life I think obamacare so damaging to that principle that

we should be willing to do anything we can to stop it from moving forward now I I'm not favor of shutting down the government I think president

appears now politically to be in favor of shutting down the government I'm in favor of funding the government at the levels that were agreed to last year in the budget control act and

I I think that we should do everything and anything we can to prevent this law from going into effect because once it starts to hurt people it's

think you're right about the president he seems to kinda %HESITATION but I do want to talk to you about the announcement coming from the house leadership today the GOP house leadership it %HESITATION

speaker banner says the house is going to pass a plan that would keep the government open with the sea are but also delay into fund obamacare the GOP house leadership has been reluctant to do this up until this point but

now it sounds like they are kind of on the same page with you and senator Ted Cruz and Mike Lee as well what's your reaction to this %HESITATION announcement coming from the speaker's office today well

a very that's very positive news again I think it's now going to call attention to the fact that we can keep the government open that we can fund the government that

we don't have to shut down the government that there's a way to keep the government open and funded but we don't have to fund obamacare it's the president who threaten to shut

this week he's continuing to urge Congress to pass a budget but it seems like this week he's continuing to urge Congress to pass a budget but it seems like and

they're confident that only if they don't get to see our in the proverbial stuff hits the fan it's going to be the GOP that suffers most from the backlash like it did in twenty eleven so

what are you saying to to members of your own party I even the president Democrats who are still saying we were you

know the Republicans did not learn anything from the budget battle of twenty eleven the president's basically looking for political win and

in fact the government shuts down it will be unfortunately because the president and his allies believe that obamacare so important for them that

they are willing to shut down the government over it I think that short sighted primarily because they are going to fight to to the end defend

a disaster something that even our own allies and labor unions are asking to be let out from underneath you

thought so much recently about the CRC how devastating they've been today long term growth of our government but the American people have become so accustomed to seeing this every few months or every

year so because there has not been a real deal budget in over four years but so the American people are you

know are probably expecting a both Democrats and Republicans to make this a political issue do you think so important for them that
