Quote:
and this, from an article about obama's earlier rose garden speech: 'The president says Republicans should not be able to hold the entire economy "hostage." ' he's right, they shouldn't be able to. but they are right now. that's exactly what they're doing, willingly harming this country because they want obamacare gone. republicans conceded a shutdown was harmful, but went ahead with their plan anyway. it's a disgrace. i don't like obamacare, but this move by the tea partiers is a horrible step in the wrong direction. i hope obama either issues an executive order raising the ceiling, or he has the mint issue some high denomination coinage. shove this bs right down the throat of one small group of congress, who is willfully engaging in behavior harmful to this country. oh, and don't forget...while people are furloughed, etc...congress still gets their paychecks.

And if the Fed workers that were out marching in front of the Dirksen Federal Building in Chicago are any representation of workers furloughed, half can be sent home for good regardless of this outcome. Or at least follow the private world and reduce their hours to 28/week so their health care can be dropped.

love this front page, hilarious! and take note, tea partiers: By a 72-22 margin, voters opposed Congress shutting down the federal government to block the implementation of Obamacare. Even though Americans were divided on the merits of the healthcare law itself—with 45 percent in favor and 47 percent opposed (but take note that people are far more supportive of the affordable care act, without realizing it's the same thing)—they were against the idea of Congress cutting off funding for the law, 58 percent to 34 percent. also, But Republicans in Congress have hit a record low, the poll shows. Only 17 percent of voters approve of the way GOP members of Congress are handling their jobs, while a whopping 74 percent disapprove. Obama's approval rating is net-negative: 45 percent approve, and 49 percent disapprove. And congressional Democrats earn a 32-percent approval rating, while three-in-five voters disapprove. Looking ahead to the 2014 elections, Democrats lead Republicans on the generic ballot, the poll shows, 43 percent to 34 percent. (largest gap since 2009).
