Obama Spanks Rethugs Again Over Shutdown

President Obama spoke from the White House Rose Garden at noon today to again call on the nihilist Rethuglicans in the House to pass a clean continuing resolution to fund the Government.  Obama made it clear who was causing the problem, calling it a "Republican shutdown."  With opinion polls showing the public is wise to Rethuglican attempts to spin the blame back on Dems, Obama has been aggressive in pointing out their cynical attempts to undo last November's elections and to do the bidding of those in the private sector that like the broken health care system like it was, today saying:
"They've shut down the government over an ideological crusade to deny affordable health care to millions of Americans."
This should be an everyday appointment with the public, as should stories about the impacts being felt from the shutdown as well as stories about the newly-opened health insurance exchanges.
