The poll #'s back up my notes last week on the Gov't shutdown. The GOP leadership have no control over their party and appear to have no plan for their internal crisis. They are beholden to a small minority that is forcing unpopular policy on the entire party. Obama knows that this Gov't shutdown is a huge drain on the popularity of the GOP, so he is making zero effort to save the GOP from themselves by offering them a face-saving out on this Gov't shutdown. I think he wants to let this shutdown bleed and much and as long as possible in public to maximize the damage of the GOP, none of these clowns care about the country.....they are just playing games.
The fallout is that the dudes who were reading green eggs and ham are going to be toxic for the party. Even in a blueish/purple state like VA, the candidates association with cruz is being used against him in the election.
Obama is not a leader, he is a non-stop campaigner.

2. The fact that all you can point out from Cruz's 18 (21?) hours speaking before that Senate chamber is 5 (maybe 10?) minutes reciting Dr. Seuss (far sillier things have been read in the Senate chamber) is quite telling with respect to your political orientation.
3. While I don't think anyone walks out of this with a clean nose, you're post kinda' reads like a Baghdad Bob pep talk.

Re: Obama is not a leader, he is a non-stop campaigner.
they all look dumb, the prez esp. for refusing to negotiate at all. But the reality remains, the country is spending way more than it takes in and we already pay a huge amount in taxes (those that pay taxes) so this is not sustainable. The prez has been vindictive from the start on this, guess that dicatator thing is not working out quite like he figured. But lets continue to create this mess, it will solve itself
