    Quite the non-response for a response. I should know that the President can do no wrong, I guess.

    Update:
    "The National Park Service has announced that the White House OMB ordered the monuments barricaded, and took employees off furlough to make it happen."

    Stephen Hayes ✔ @stephenfhayes
    At the WWII Memorial, Carol Johnson w/the Park Service says they were told to close the site by White House's Office of Management & Budget.

    Obama has done a lot of stupid shit. NSA support is a big one in my mind. But he used hyperbole, just like most political figures use hyperbole. Like the congressmen that said "Obamacare is the worst law created by man." IE Trying make healthcare for the poor more accessible is worse than slavery laws. Was it exaggeration to say Republicans are terrorists, yes. Are Republicans threatening our countries financial stability by throwing a temper tantrum, yes. I think the Republicans were out of line on this.

    I believe you mean "calling the Republicans names was appropriate and helpful?" to which I will respond, probably not. Drawing attention to who caused the mess, would be helpful though.

    meh..both parties are at fault. The showman in charge bears the largest part of the failure.

    I take your point that the bill is the President's baby. The mess is the bill. No R's voted for it, hence I said the mess belongs to the D's.

    To let that occur is the fault that I would lay at the feet of the GOP. Spineless self-serving pricks exempt their aides and let the Dems inflict this travesty on the rest of us..Oboma himself has changed the implementation and created exemption seven times..where was the congress...where was their input?

    This was three plus years in the making..to say they could not rally against this is a total failure of leadership

    For those that aren't familiar with Washington, DC, it would be like shutting down Chapman Square in Portland. Traffic runs on all four sides, and people stroll through it all the time. It took more effort to shut it down than to keep it open. It was closed as a ploy to increase the pain of the shutdown.

    Complete bullshit.

    Teabaggers are costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars and basically committing treason by fighting the laws and will of the people.

    I've been through 3 govt shutdowns before, all when I was a Federal Employee. It usually burns about 2 days of an agency's budget for each day they are down.
