Update: Bill passed 230-189.

Yahoo! News) — The House on Friday approved a bill to temporarily fund the government that would strip funding for the 2010 federal health care law known as Obamacare, a move that will set up a showdown with the Senate next week that could result in a government shutdown.

The bill, which Democrats in the Senate plan to reject in its current form, would set spending levels at $986.3 billion through Dec. 15. Congress must pass a bill to set federal funding levels, known as a continuing resolution (CR) by Oct. 1, or the government will partially close. House Republicans see the mandatory deadline as a final opportunity to cripple the 3-year-old health care law.

While conservatives in the House see the passage of the bill as a victory, the celebration will be short-lived. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid intends to strip out the part of the bill that defunds the health care law when the upper chamber takes up the measure next week. In a statement Thursday, President Barack Obama vowed to veto any CR that does not include funding for the law.

Update: Barry is not happy.*

Oh no. President 40% approval is upset. How will we ever manage.

The one Republican who voted against the bill was Rep. Scott Rigell (Va.), who said Thursday that he would do so because of a desire to return to regular budget order.

I don't know who the 4 nv are yet

What shutdown? All the Senate has to do is to approved the doggone thing. If there is a shutdown it is the Senate's fault.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN POSTING:

1. You can deal with a closed mind - by opening it.
2. You can deal with an ignorant mind - by educating it.
3. You can even deal with a mindless party hack - by ridiculing him or her

But it is a waste of time to deal with a fool. And a lying, dishonest one at that.
