In the White House Press Room on Tuesday, President Barack Obama did what comes naturally — scold others. In this case, the Congress. Mr. Obama complained that a budget agreement "could have gotten done three months ago."

What he didn't say was that the budget should have "gotten done" six months ago, before the current fiscal year started last Oct. 1. Our government's failure to have a budget in place halfway through the fiscal year is the president's responsibility. He and his party dominated Congress by wide margins when the budget was supposed to be put in place.

...
In the short term, it's obvious what Mr. Obama hopes to gain. Having watched his standing as "a strong and decisive leader" drop to 52% in last month's Gallup poll from 60% last year, the president is looking to profit politically from a shutdown of the federal government.

Who get's to choose what is essential? Obama, that's who. He will pick and choose based on his politics. This is another reason how a government shutdown will serve Obama and the Democratic Party. Obama has the bully pulpit and he will use it like the community agitator that he is. But it might not turn out the way Obama thinks this time around. People don't believe everything he says anymore. The problem is people don't believe the Republicans either. I guess we will see what happens in the end after both sides have played their political hands. How do you think it might turn out?

A Government Shutdown Serves The Democratic Party And That Is What The Democrats Are Banking On

How do you know when a Democrat is lieing? Yep, their lips are moving. While the Democrats are out trying to pin a government shutdown on the Republican Party they are saying a different story in private and on tape. When it comes down too it history has shown that a government shutdown has worked for the Democratic Party in the past. They will use the shutdown to demonize the "baby killing Republicans" just like they have done in the past.

The problem is I don't think the American voter believes the lieing zealot Democratic Party any more. Reality and rhetoric don't match up when it comes to the Democratic Party. They made a lot of promises and false hope that they didn't keep. They said they would fix everything, but the reality is they have broken everything worse then when they got it. We are broke and the Democratic Party wants to spend like 2012 is the last year. We must cut all wants from government spending and only keep the needs. We must pay down our debt, not make it larger every year for the next decade.

It's time we pay attention to America. We need to cut government spending or drown in debt like Japan is. We need to prepare for hard times by making cuts across the board. If we have a government shut down remember who it goes to serve if it comes to fruition. That is were the blame will lay.
