The implication of Obama's promise not to default on our debt obligations to the banks, but to default on budgeted obligations to the rest of the country, implies an intention to violate the Presentment Clause by deciding which parts of a law (this year's budget, which doesn't expire until October 1st) to ignore. That's not going to fly in court.
Given how naked his priorities are revealed by his assurances to the financial sector and nobody else, we might as well hope that he's impeached for the partial shutdown so we don't have to primary him.
