Comrade obama shut down the government. Hope it stays shut down until people wise up and kick that worthless POS out of the WH...

Who's cheering? You fools have to make **** up to justify your ignorant politicians and policies.

Besides, only 17% of the government is shut down, and the GOP has given 0bama bills that fund EVERYTHING including the Affordable Care Act.

No bills have been given to Obama, nothing has made it out of congress yet. Please check facts first. Thanks.

She says the repubs are happy because "they see we are starting to win this dialogue on a national level." A far cry from claiming they are happy 0bama refused to sign funding and the government is shut down.

The House sent them to Reid, he needs to pass them for them to leave Congress and go to the president for his signature. Or are you claiming 0bama wants to sign these bills, and mean old Reid won't pass them?

And the dialogue was that they are winning on the issue of shuting down the government to force change in the ACA. What is so difficult to understand about that?

Remember when Grover Norquist said they wanted to shrink the government down so small they could drown it in a bathtub? Given the caviler attitude of many of the Tea Party reps to a possible default, I think it's time to admit that taking the government down is exactly what the plan is. I've seen it posted here many times--shut it down and keep it shut down! I don't think treason is too strong a word for what the Tea Party is attempting.
