I said that " I would call trying to extort money from the house to fund obama care - hi-jacking."

this is where I believe you and oko are wrong, like most people in this debate for the dems, you've not done any research on the tactics used to get obamaCare passed into law. The bill wasn't debated nor voted on - Pelosi and her dem selected judges broke - stretched and "made up" rules
as they went to get this "thing" signed by o'bama.

Again - you are wrong here because the American people gave the repubs ctrl of congress and the house, which gets to initiate spending bills. They wisely chose to check the dems spend thrift ways with a republican ctrld house and delaying funding for obama's healthCare act in the 2014 budget is an example of the American system working as it was intended.
.... and as rugatikka pointed out -- there's no rule saying they have to incl funding for all bills signed into LAW (especially ones that became law in the manner of obama's affordable care act )

Again this is American MSM "double speak" that you're falling for ....
The repubs ctrl the house. They get to initiate and present the budget, the dem ctrld senate's job is either to pass it or not (or debate them & concede on terms - which they wouldn't). If it doesn't get passed the American gov't doesn't get funded.
The senate doesn't get the luxury of passing only the spending bills they like - unless (in this case) their prepared to shutdown the economy !
Huntley,
who shut down the gov't by failing to pass the budget ?
