They defeated Mr. Coburn’s amendment on a 54-45 vote, with nearly every Republican voting to reopen the White House and with almost all Democrats voting to back Mr. Obama’s decision.

Hasn’t stopped dear leader from spending our money. Something very wrong in the USA as we sit idly by.

Benedict Arnold was one of America's greatest heros up till the time he was financially screwed over by Congressional politicians. I'm wondering now if the little corner in the West point museum is still there, essentially dedicated to Arnold's feats at Lexington.

To learn more about Benedict Arnold, related historical novels by Kenneth Roberts are Arundel and Rabble in Arms.

oboma has declared a war on citizens.
Most people are smart enough to know oboma is doing this to punish them.

The democrats senate vote to support oboma helps us in 2014 quite a bit. This is a simple issue, but people aren't amused by it. It makes them feel .....uneasy.... about the democrats and the path they're taking. When the government starts punishing it's own people for being disobedient, people start to notice that maybe the government has gotten a little too big, a little too powerful, and way too far out of control.

There is only one reason for the White House closure, and it isn’t because there are no funds to keep it open.

It’s because, whenever taxpayers balk at the high burden of taxes, the cuts the politicians choose to make are in the high-profile services that taxpayers either hold dear (e.g. White House tours), or in programs that are actually constitutional in function and have tangible impact on the health and welfare of taxpayers (e.g. FDA and food inspection). The programs that only serve to make more people dependent on government by redistributing wealth to pay for things they should be paying for themselves are NEVER cut. Bloated bureaucracies are NEVER cut. And the out-of-control spending keeps accelerating.

There is a real purpose behind this.
