You moron, you left out all that preceded that quo

You moron, you left out all that preceded that quote which effectively changed it's meaning. See all of the paragraphs leading up to what you chose to post?

Those are ALSO quotes of his entire speech, you dishonest dumb-ass. Were you home sick when 'what will' and 'what will not' were discussed? And 'would', were you also out sick when that word was 'discussed'?

For the last time, either provide the date NASA shut down or mark yourself to the board forever as the lying sack of sh*t you are.

For the rest of you nutters reading in dumb silence, this is the entire statement:

THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. Of all the responsibilities the Constitution endows to Congress, two should be fairly simple: pass a budget, and pay America’s bills.

But if the United States Congress does not fulfill its responsibility to pass a budget today, much of the United States government will be forced to shut down tomorrow . And I want to be very clear about what that shutdown would mean -- what will remain open and what will not.

With regard to operations that will continue: If you’re on Social Security, you will keep receiving your checks. If you’re on Medicare, your doctor will still see you. Everyone’s mail will still be delivered. And government operations related to national security or public safety will go on.

Our troops will continue to serve with skill, honor, and courage. Air traffic controllers, prison guards, those who are with border control -- our Border Patrol will remain on their posts, but their paychecks will be delayed until the government reopens

NASA will shut down almost entirely, but Mission Control will remain open to support the astronauts serving on the Space Station.

I also want to be very clear about what would change. Office buildings would close. Paychecks would be delayed. Vital services that seniors and veterans, women and children, businesses and our economy depend on would be hamstrung. Business owners would see delays in raising capital, seeking infrastructure permits, or rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy.

Veterans who’ve sacrificed for their country will find their support centers unstaffed. Tourists will find every one of America’s national parks and monuments, from Yosemite to the Smithsonian to the Statue of Liberty, immediately closed.

And of course, the communities and small businesses that rely on these national treasures for their livelihoods will be out of customers and out of luck.
