Bizarro World: Rubio accuses Obama of threatening to shut down government

TANTAROS: Are you, Senator Marco Rubio, willing to shut down the government over ObamaCare? Because when you talk about the budget, you know better than anyone, that means shut down, potentially.

RUBIO: I think the real question is: Is Barack Obama willing to shut down the government over ObamaCare? In essence, I think we should pay our military. I think we should fund the government. I just don’t think we should fund ObamaCare. And what the President is saying is we either fund ObamaCare or we don’t fund anything. And I think that’s an unreasonable position. And that’s the position he’s taken and the Democrats have taken.

Pushes an immigration bill, wins plaudits from the Schumer/Durbin/D side of the Gang of Eight, gets reamed by the RWNJ's and is now pushing Shutdown over Obamacare. Over-the-top cynicism, but not fatal at all for a world that forgets what happened two days ago.
