John Boehner Refuses To Pass 'Clean' Bill To Avert Shutdown
Posted: 09/26/2013
"I do not see that happening," Boehner told reporters on Capitol Hill after meeting with Republican legislators.
The House passed a measure last week to fund the government after Sept. 30 only if Democrats agree to strip spending from Obamacare. The Senate is in the process of removing the health care defunding and plans to send a simple spending bill back to the House by this weekend. That bill would keep the government running until Nov. 15.
Boehner declared, "I don't expect" the government to close. But he did not explain how he and his Republican caucus could amend the Senate bill, debate it, vote on it and send it back to the Senate for more action there before Oct. 1.
"There will be options available to us," Boehner said. "There's not going to be any speculation about what we're going to do or not do until the Senate passes their bill."
Many observers expect that the House will at least try again to delay Obamacare's implementation. Senate Democrats have repeatedly said they will not accept such a move, setting up another stalemate for Monday, the last day that the federal government can keep the doors open without a new bill.

A Small President on the World Stage
At the U.N., leaders hope for a return of American greatness.
The world misses the old America, the one before the crash—the crashes—of the past dozen years.
That is the takeaway from conversations the past week in New York, where world leaders gathered for the annual U.N. General Assembly session. Our friends, and we have many, speak almost poignantly of the dynamism, excellence, exuberance and leadership of the nation they had, for so many years, judged themselves against, been inspired by, attempted to emulate, resented. As for those who are not America's friends, some seem still confused, even concussed, by the new power shift.
What is their exact place in it? Will it last? Will America come roaring back? Can she? Does she have the political will, the human capital, the old capability?
It is a world in a new kind of flux, one that doesn't know what to make of America anymore. In part because of our president.
"We want American leadership," said a member of a diplomatic delegation of a major U.S. ally. He said it softly, as if confiding he missed an old friend.

"In the past we have seen some America
overreach," said the prime minister of a Western democracy, in a
conversation. "Now I think we are seeing America underreach." He was
referring not only to foreign policy but to economic policies, to the
limits America has imposed on itself. He missed its old economic
dynamism, its crazy, pioneering spirit toward wealth creation—the old
belief that every American could invent something, get it to market,
make a bundle, rise. The prime minister spoke of a great anxiety and his
particular hope. The anxiety: "The biggest risk is not political but
social.
Wealthy societies with people who think wealth is a given, a birthright—they do not understand that we are in the fight of our lives with countries and nations set on displacing us. Wealth is earned. It is far from being a given. It cannot be taken for granted. The recession reminded us how quickly circumstances can change." His hope? That the things that made America a giant—"so much entrepreneurialism and vision"—will, in time, fully re-emerge and jolt the country from the doldrums.
The second takeaway of the week has to do with a continued decline in admiration for the American president. Barack Obama's reputation among his fellow international players has deflated, his stature almost collapsed. In diplomatic circles, attitudes toward his leadership have been declining for some time, but this week you could hear the disappointment, and something more dangerous: the sense that he is no longer, perhaps, all that relevant. Part of this is due, obviously, to his handling of the Syria crisis. If you draw a line and it is crossed and then you dodge, deflect, disappear and call it diplomacy, the world will notice, and not think better of you. Some of it is connected to the historical moment America is in.
But some of it, surely, is just five years of Mr. Obama. World leaders do not understand what his higher strategic aims are, have doubts about his seriousness and judgment, and read him as unsure and covering up his unsureness with ringing words.
A scorching assessment of the president as foreign-policy actor came from a former senior U.S. diplomat, a low-key and sophisticated man who spent the week at many U.N.-related functions. "World leaders are very negative about Obama," he said. They are "disappointed, feeling he's not really in charge. . . . The Western Europeans don't pay that much attention to him anymore."
The diplomat was one of more than a dozen U.S. foreign-policy hands who met this week with the new president of Iran, Hassan Rouhani. What did he think of the American president? "He didn't mention Obama, not once," said the former envoy, who added: "We have to accept the fact that the president is rather insignificant at the moment, and rely on our diplomats." John Kerry, he said, is doing a good job.
Had he ever seen an American president treated as if he were so insignificant? "I really never have. It's unusual." What does he make of the president's strategy: "He doesn't know what to do so he stays out of it [and] hopes for the best." The diplomat added: "Slim hope."
This reminded me of a talk a few weeks ago, with another veteran diplomat who often confers with leaders with whom Mr. Obama meets. I had asked: When Obama enters a room with other leaders, is there a sense that America has entered the room? I mentioned De Gaulle—when he was there, France was there. When Reagan came into a room, people stood: America just walked in. Does Mr. Obama bring that kind of mystique?
"No," he said. "It's not like that."
When the president spoke to the General Assembly, his speech was dignified and had, at certain points, a certain sternness of tone. But after a while, as he spoke, it took on the flavor of re-enactment. He had impressed these men and women once. In the cutaways on C-Span, some the delegates in attendance seemed distracted, not alert, not sitting as if they were witnessing something important. One delegate seemed to be scrolling down on a BlackBerry, one rifled through notes. Two officials seated behind the president as he spoke seemed engaged in humorous banter. At the end, the applause was polite, appropriate and brief.
The president spoke of Iran and nuclear weapons—"we should be able to achieve a resolution" of the question. "We are encouraged" by signs of a more moderate course. "I am directing John Kerry to pursue this effort."
But his spokesmen had suggested the possibility of a brief meeting or handshake between Messrs. Obama and Rouhani. When that didn't happen there was a sense the American president had been snubbed. For all the world to see.
Which, if you are an American, is embarrassing.
While Mr. Rouhani could not meet with the American president, he did make time for journalists, diplomats and businessmen brought together by the Asia Society and the Council on Foreign Relations. Early Thursday evening in a hotel ballroom, Mr. Rouhani spoke about U.S.-Iranian relations.
He appears to be intelligent, smooth, and he said all the right things—"moderation and wisdom" will guide his government, "global challenges require collective responses." He will likely prove a tough negotiator, perhaps a particularly wily one. He is eloquent when speaking of the "haunted" nature of some of his countrymen's memories when they consider the past 60 years of U.S.-Iranian relations.
Well, we have that in common.
He seemed to use his eloquence to bring a certain freshness, and therefore force, to perceived grievances. That's one negotiating tactic. He added that we must "rise above petty politics," and focus on our nations' common interests and concerns. He called it "counterproductive" to view Iran as a threat; this charge is whipped up by "alarmists." He vowed again that Iran will not develop a nuclear bomb, saying this would be "contrary to Islamic norms."
I wondered, as he spoke, how he sized up our president. In roughly 90 minutes of a speech followed by questions, he didn't say, and nobody thought to ask him.

No debating it now: Jeremy Hill is back and better than ever
9/25/2013
By LUKE JOHNSON
Tiger Rag Assistant Editor
In this space last week, we discussed whether LSU sophomore running back Jeremy Hill was back to his old self after he ran for 117 yards against Kent State.
That is no longer up for debate after his latest performance.
"Jeremy’s a great running back,” said LSU center Elliott Porter, before breaking into a smile. "I love it when he touches the ball because we have a chance to score.”
That was especially true against Auburn, when Hill scored touchdowns on his first two offensive touches on his way to a career-high 184 rushing yards in LSU’s 35-21 win.
Hill still maintained that he isn’t quite the well-oiled machine he wants to be, but he’s being given every opportunity to get there. His role in the offense has progressively grown since his debut against UAB, when he carried the ball six times, to last Saturday when he carried the ball 25 times.
"The coaches are putting me out there and getting the rust off,” Hill said. "I’m just doing what they tell me to do.”
Part of what coaches told Hill to do was to hit his "landmarks.”
"Landmark, meaning entry point to the play,” said LSU coach Les Miles. "Landmark meaning a key spot where you would key a run to get what would be your cut.”
Where Hill missed some of those against Kent State the week before, he hit them against Auburn. It didn’t hurt that the offensive line paved the way to the second level of Auburn’s defense.
On LSU’s third offensive play of the game, 3rd and two from the Auburn 49, Porter snapped the ball and turned his man off to the right, right guard Trai Turner mashed an Auburn linebacker, and fullback J.C. Copeland roared through the hole with Hill hot on his tail.
Hill took care of the rest. In a blink of an eye he was past Copeland, and he squirted between two Auburn defenders as they converged on him. He then cut hard to the left and found nothing but green space in front of him.
It was the first of three touchdowns on the night for Hill, who outgained Auburn by 50 yards in the first half.
Even Miles, who’s been unusually critical of Hill after he was reinstated to the team this August, couldn’t find any faults in Hill’s performance against Auburn.
"Well, he looked pretty good to me,” Miles said. "He ran hard. It’s nice to have him back.”
That last part of Miles’ quote essentially sums up popular opinion concerning Hill. He’s not only back on the team and back as LSU’s undoubted starter, but he’s back to being one of the best running backs in the Southeastern Conference.
But Hill wasn’t satisfied with his performance in the game, largely because when LSU tried to run the clock out and the Auburn defense did everything it could to stop Hill in his tracks, Auburn succeeded.
"There were tackles for loss,” Hill said. "Maybe four plays with tackles for loss. We can’t have that, and it’s going to hurt us in games that are closer. You can’t be satisfied with a performance like that. We didn’t finish strong.”
Hill carried the ball 11 times in the second half, but gained only 32 yards, including five carries for zero yards in the fourth quarter, as Auburn stacked the box with eight or nine defenders to choke the LSU ground attack.
It was obvious that the way the game shook out in the end frustrated Hill, who fell 16 yards shy of becoming the first LSU player to top the 200-yard mark since Alley Broussard ran for a school-record 250 yards in 2004.
Frustrated or not, he showed that with him LSU still possesses the ability to take control of a game on the ground, as it had to in sloppy conditions against Auburn.
With the steps the passing game has taken this season, Hill’s teammates seem to know he’s the key to it all for LSU this season.
"For this offense to reach higher heights and continue to grow, it’s going to be on the legs and eyes of Jeremy Hill and that offensive line,” said junior wideout Jarvis Landry.
Comments
Chief Peace Pipe Picklehead:
I hope that our big men can move them just a little further out of the way, and Hill will run into the clear, scoring a touchdown for the points we need. God gave Jeremy Hill the talent to run with a football much better then other people.
Then Hill will sit on the sideline to see our defense stop them over and over again.
Because we are going to Athens Georgia to win a college football game in Sanford stadium. This time these LSU football players are going our of town to play a very good Georgia Bulldog college football team come hell or high water.
Blow for blow man for man as our spirit will be there with them, pulling for them to win.
I think that the men on this LSU football team has already turned the key to be there for each other when the going get tough.
"For this offense to reach higher heights and continue to grow, it’s going to be on the legs and eyes of Jeremy Hill and that offensive line,” said junior wideout Jarvis Landry.

Gameplan: LSU vs. Georgia
9/27/2013 8:52:03 AM
Throwing the deep ball
Nick Marshall hit LSU for deep balls twice in Tiger Stadium. Aaron Murray is no Nick Marshall. For one, he’s Georgia’s current quarterback, rather than its former defensive back. For another, he’s one of the most prolific passers in SEC history, and he’ll be looking to exploit an LSU secondary that lacks a true ball-hawking safety. Ronald Martin, whose father passed away last week, should return to the fold after watching from the sidelines against Auburn, and he’ll be tested early as LSU’s free safety. Good coverage from Tre’Davious White and Jalen Mills will help, but they’ll need help, too.
Getting pressure on Mettenberger
Last Saturday, in the friendly confines of Tiger Stadium against minimal pressure, Zach Mettenberger got a little fidgety early. This Saturday, with thousands of UGA fans screaming obscenities at their former signal-caller, the slightest bit of pressure in the pocket could be enough to make LSU’s senior quarterback uncomfortable. With time and space, Mettenberger shines, but when things break down, he lacks the mobility – and, perhaps, the composure – to make something out of nothing. Blitzing means single-covering at least one of LSU’s excellent receivers, but the risk might be worth the reward in a game where one turnover could spell the difference.
Running the ball up the middle
Tre Mason, who pounded LSU for 132 yards on Saturday, is a good back. Todd Gurley is a great back, and Keith Marshall isn’t shabby, either. Those two guys will get the ball early and often and plunge right at LSU’s two defensive tackles, Anthony Johnson and Ego Ferguson, who failed to make a big impact against Auburn. If Georgia can wear those two down, Gurley and Marshall should have big holes to run through and one-on-one opportunities against LSU’s linebackers and secondary. If LSU tackles well, it may not be a problem, but that’s a big ‘if.’
LSU will win by....
Hanging on to the ball.
It’s probably a safe bet that both of these teams are going to light up the scoreboard at Sanford Stadium this Saturday, and if the Tigers want to be on the right side of that score it must not waste any opportunities. LSU has proven to be pretty good at eliminating turnovers this season, but hasn’t been completely immune. Zach Mettenberger threw his first interception of the season against Auburn, and the Tigers have lost a fumble in each game this season. Aaron Murray and Co. are going to score, and if the Tigers want to keep pace they can’t turn the ball over.
Containing the Gurley man.
Maybe North Texas was on to something. The Mean Green held Georgia’s powerful sophomore running back under 100 yards for the first time this season. If the Tigers can come up with a similar performance, their chances of winning increase exponentially. But it won’t be an easy feat. LSU comes into the game giving up an average of 136 yards per game on the ground, a number that swelled after Auburn ran for 242 yards last week. Gurley might be the toughest running back the Tigers face this season, and if he finds some running room in the LSU defense it’s hard to imagine the LSU defense finding a way off the field.
Swinging momentum in its favor.
LSU will be taking a young team into a hostile environment for the first time this season, and the quickest way to turn a huge disadvantage into a non-factor is with a big momentum-swinging play. If LSU can score a touchdown on defense or special teams, it will go a long way in silencing the crowd and making life a little easier on the Tigers. This works both ways, however. If it’s Georgia who makes the big play, life could get really difficult for LSU in Athens. Look for Odell Beckham Jr. to handle all of the return duties this week as LSU aims to make something special happen.
