Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Te āhua nei kua hinga anō ngā Reipa o te Kaunihera. I whakakahoretia e ngā Rōpū Reipa o te Whare tētahi mahere i whakatenatena e te Tumuaki o te Rōpū Nui o te Rōpū, e Mitch McConnell, hei pūtea i te Tari Haumarutanga o te Whenua, he moni i mau ai ngā Rōpū Reipa o te Kaunihera hei whakakahoretanga i te whakahau whakahaere a te Perehitini o Obama mō te manene. I tono a McConnell kia whakatauhia motuhake te take manene. I te wa i tono a Speaker John Boehner i tetahi whakataunga iti ake, e utua ana te Tari mo nga wiki e toru noa iho, i kii tana roopu kaore. Ko te pire whakamutunga e whakarato ana i te moni mo tetahi atu wiki, i taua wa me whakahoki ano e te Kaunihera te take. Heoi, mai i tētahi tirohanga rerekē, kei te whakatutuki ngā mema Reipa o te kaunihera i tō rātou whāinga. Ka pau anō i a rātou tētahi wāhanga nui o te wā tōrangapū a te Perehitini o Obama. Kua pau kē i te Kaunihera ētahi marama, kaua e aro atu ki ngā take nui ake, pēnei i te ōritetanga ohaoha, te huringa āhuarangi rānei, e tūmanako ana te Whare Pōtae kia waiho hei pokapū o te tautohetohe tōrangapū ahakoa ka kore ngā Reipa e mahi i tētahi mea mō ēnei raruraru. Ahakoa he iti rawa te tūponotanga o te peresideni e ahu whakamua ana i runga i ngā take matua, kāore anō a Peresideni Obama kia whai wāhi ki te whakauru i ngā take ki roto i te tautohetohe tūmatanui - he mahi matua a ngā peresideni e tūmanako ana ki te hanga i te turanga mō ngā whakatutukitanga ture ā muri ake nei, me te whakatakoto i te kōrero ā-motu - kāore anō hoki kia ngana ki te ahu whakamua i runga i ngā take, pēnei i te whakahoutanga tāke, i reira he tautoko pea mō tētahi whakatutukitanga e rua ngā rōpū. Ko te whakamahi i te karaka ture he mea nui ki te rautaki Republican mai i nga pooti waenga 2010, he tikanga i kitea e nga Democrats he uaua ki te whawhai. He māmā noa iho te rautaki. I ia wā ka whakamātau a Perehitini Obama ki te whakauru i tētahi take hōu ki te iwi, ahakoa he mea e pā ana ki te whakarerekētanga o te manene, ki te ōritetanga ohaoha rānei, ka huri tonu te whakaaro o te iwi whānui ki tētahi atu wāhi mā te whakawehi i te mahi tino nui ki tētahi atu wāhi o te kaupapa here. Ko tēnei...
Julian Zelizer: Ka whai wāhi te GOP ki ngā rā tuku pūtea pēnei i te pakanga mō te moni mō te Tari Haumarutanga Whenua. E ai ki a ia ko nga raru tonu e kore e taea e Obama te neke whakamua i tana kaupapa ahakoa he iti noa iho.
