Thanks, Obama... I can't believe he vetoed that continuing resolution that reached his desk!!!

Every time I see a poll about "who do you blame most" I am struck that Obama is even an option.

I am not complaining because in public relations terms it is better to have the President versus Congress 'cause nobody likes Congress.

But these polls should be "who do you blame more, Republicans in the House or Democrats in the Senate?"

'Cause the President has not DONE anything except talk to people.

No bill that would restore government funding has passed both Houses of Congress.

Obama couldn't end this thing himself, even by total capitulation. The senate would have to cave AND Obama would have to cave.

This is not the 1990s where the President had to veto a bad spending bill. The current President has not had the opportunity to DO anything... there is no bill to sign or to veto.
