Unscientific poll, but you know what it needs.

squarely on the shoulders of John Boehner... he has the ability to bring a clean CR Bill up in the House... Boehner is solely responsible for this!!!!

Is it posted to show how similar this dreadful situation today is from the last time we had to go through this in 2011? Only then Boehner and the Repugs had the good sense at the last minute to not take the country over the cliff.
