Good analogy. Barry is off to Indonesia for some reason. I think if my family was sick, I would stay home!

We have a lot of Neros fiddling while Rome (USA) burns!
They will have their riches, while we get ours out of the ashes.

I don't normally respond to the political arguments on this forum as most people seem to ignore facts if the facts disagree with their own preconceived ideas. The fact is that the current government shutdown rests squarely on the shoulders of the republicans. The "Affordable Healthcare Act" (Obamacare) is law. If you want to change the law, there are ways to do that in the framework of the constitution.....amendments to the law or repeal of the law. Demanding that the law not be funded as a condition of funding the government is not an acceptable method. It is "hostage taking" pure and simple!

Exactly what evidence do you have that she is a member of the TEA Party? Seems to me that the use of the term "teabagger" pretty much puts her solidly in the liberal muck and mire.

Pretty one sided observation. Good leaders don't antagonize their troops intentionally as they understand it takes the sum total to be the most effective in accomplishing the mission. Although the Republicans are the catalyst in the current government shutdown, I place the primary cause on the dismal leadership of President Obama. This event is not an overnight deal. It has been building for the past 4.5 years and the AHCA is the shining example of how underhanded and backroom politics got us to this point. The President should understand that he is not the dictator and he really has limited powers to creating law. His actions in the past 4.5 years clearly demonstrates his lack of understanding his role as the President and he listens too much to the voices that surround him, who, by the way appear to be even more unqualified than he is.
