It's not only most Americans who are shaking their heads in disbelief that a radical minority of Rethugs are holding the Government hostage, it's now our international partners and allies. When President Obama was forced to cancel his trip to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum and the East Asia Summit due to the shutdown, observers are saying that the spectacle of the U.S. Government in disarray due to the tea bagger cultists is causing anxiety among our friends and glee among those who consider us rivals.
The Government shutdown is just the preview, many believe, to the upcoming fight over raising the debt ceiling limit. Although Weeper of the House John "Mr. Tangerine Man" Boehner has vowed not to default on the U.S.'s debt obligations, he doesn't seem to be in control of his radical right wing members who are trying to force policies on the American people that they didn't vote for in the last two national elections.
