Quite true. Freepers would be well advised to check out Facebook and Twitter to see how well Obama's "Blame it on the GOP" Program is going.

The answer is: It's not going very well. It's going about as well as the Obamacare Roll Out.

I am still getting news feeds from the ENS.USGS.gov about Chilean earthquakes but not on local missing children. Makes perfect sense to me.

He is managing it. He gives the orders. He is angry and wants to inflict the maximum pain on the folks.

I hope all the people who voted for him remove their heads from their anal sphincter and vote for someone who loves the country.
(hillary clinton does not love the country. )

This shutdown is a very ‘teachable moment’ for folks who are unfamiliar with what living in a Marxist State looks like.

Ask any Cuban what life was like after Castro took over.

Doing my part to spread the info around. One of the latest is a meme that says:

Americans need to remember that the same guy shutting off access to National Parks, Oceans, Amber Alerts... also controls your healthcare.
