Nope.
Sorry, but we are dealing in reality here. Republicans repeatedly stated that they did not want the government to shut down. While they were working, the senate was out doing whatever. They brought several plans that were rejected and Reid refused to negotiate and compromise. Plans were on the table. Reid rejected them and the government shut down because he didn't get his way. Any way you want to slice it and dice it, those are the cold hard facts. This shutdown is on Harry and Barack and it will cost them in 2014 and 2016.
You must not be aware of the entire scenario. Republicans have submitted bills, yes, but they all want to do away with Obamacare. Why would Reid, knowing the President isn't going to sign it, even bother with them. It's Republicans that won't submit a clean bill (one that doesn't try to destroy Obamacare), and why there is a stalemate.
Sorry, but the way most Americans see it, it's the Republicans that are to blame, and the polls don't back your assertion that the Dems are being blamed. Time for you to face the facts.

That's just because the media is biased and not telling the whole story. Hopefully, the internet will get the truth to enough people. The dictator needs to be removed from the whitehouse. We've had 17 previous shutdowns and NEVER before were our privately funded memorials closed to our veterans.
I don't care who's at fault for this shutdown, but Obama is at fault for punishing the people.
