Over exaggerate much, Dingy?

Via Washington Times:

Senate Democrats said Thursday that House Republican leaders have abdicated their power to “far-right” members of the party and are wasting their time by threatening to defund Obamacare as part of a spending deal to avert a government shutdown.

“I want to be absolutely crystal clear — any bill that defunds Obamacare is dead, dead,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, said.

Congress must act quickly to pass a continuing resolution that funds federal operations past Sept. 30, but House Speaker John A. Boehner bowed to the right wing of his caucus this week by allowing the chamber to include a provision that defunds President Obama’s health care law. […]

The gridlock on Capitol Hill, Mr. Reid warned, could have “deadly serious” consequences for the American public.
