On October 8, Goldberg explained, CBS' Mark Knoller asked Obama if he was “tempted” to sign the numerous funding bills passed by the GOP-led House intended to alleviate the pain of the shutdown.
Republicans have passed bills that would reopen parks, fund cancer trials for children at the NIH, and to keep FEMA and the FDA going through this partial shutdown, Goldberg added, but the White House -- now being called the #SpiteHouse on Twitter -- has threatened to veto those bills.
“Of course I’m tempted” to sign those bills, Obama told Knoller. “But here’s the problem. What you’ve seen are bills that come up wherever Republicans are feeling political pressure, they put a bill forward. And if there’s no political heat, if there’s no television story on it, then nothing happens.”
