This is a combination of a and a .

It appears that there has been a partial shut down of the federal government and much to the dismay of the party of the petulant, tain't nobody really caring, or even noticing.

The Fed gov't closes every Friday afternoon for around 60 hours or so and we all seem to get along just fine. The horror, how will we ever manage now?

Yeah, the Huffington Post has been running that all day. The Huffington Post.

Why don't you take your lazzy a s s over to google and find the Speaker's email address and phone number. Do it yourself, so lazy.

actually the SF Gate is reporting that the amount of GOP wanting a way out is much smaller and that the leaders are dug in.

Dictator John,


Holding up a nation. Pathetic.

Is there actually a source to any of this besides the Huffington? I'd believe a news outlet like them would do this to help push hate further on Republicans. Like most are coming to terms with this, why can't the rest?

I just don't buy it.

You really need for there to be a disconnect in the House, don't you? The thought of the GOP gaining support scares you.

yeah LOOK UP.

The ACTUAL people and their quotes.

Pahhhhhhhhh THETIC

the public expects more from the president than it does from Congress. This is especially true of a president elected on the wings of soaring rhetoric about unity and healing.

The GOP is doing what we elected them to do. Why should they cave? What ever happened to obamas "elections have consequences?"

I agree wholeheartedly.

Dixie. I actually think you are right here. The President should throw Boehner a bone or lifeline. I just don't expect him too. If either had any sense you would cover for the other side every now and then. Carry the other guy's water for when you REALLY need them. When I was our union President I did this a couple of times for our Superintendent. Smart people do this. It doesn't seem like either side knows how to play the middle.

Obama’s refusal to rise above partisanship and talk with GOP leaders before the shutdown is baffling

It is. I think Obama would be much better suited to be the DNC chair sometimes. An iron fist covered by a velvet glove type. He comes off even to those that support him as overt sometimes. I think the GOP sometimes just wants to take him down a couple of pegs just to do it. There is a time to fight and a time to govern. He could take a lesson from Clinton there. The GOP went harder after Clinton yet Clinton would find a way to work with them too.
