Nothing about this administration should surprise us anymore.

Is it impeachment time yet?

I noticed they were going to shut down the Smithsonian which actually brings in revenue. Makes sense to cut income in a budget crisis.

Add in the possibility of NOT paying the military their pay!!!

[madison10]

That’s why the threat to not pay our military.

Obama cares . . . . about Obama.

[dalebert]

same old politics...get the people where it hurts to make them thankful we are robbing them blind. only cuts they want are to citizens ..not themselves.

With Obama going around incredibly un-leader-like, telling us “better get your money back from that Yellowstone vacation, hyuk, hyuk, hyuk” while he’s out of the friggin’ golf course every day....I believe this completely.

Whenever an entity that relies on a tax payer revenue stream must cut its budget, logic dictates that cuts be implemented in a manner that directly effects the broadest possible number of taxpayers.

They will lay off the fire department and watch your house burn down before firing a gay guidance counselor.

It is tried and true strategy. Works every time.

For this reason people should be in jail. But criminals like Clinton wasn’t put in jail when we had all three branches of government. How could we expect anything different now.

Nothing about this administration should surprise us anymore.

A demon from hell and his minions are in our White House. An exorcism needs to be done quickly!

I’m not surprised at bit, but I’m outraged as ****.

In need of control? Strike fear into the masses and provide an appealing solution.

He is pure evil, spawn of Satan. He could care less about the citizens of America - everything is politics with this bozo and he has one direction only - TRANSFORMING AMERICA.

We get the Government we elect. TIME TO THROW THE OBOZO OUT OF OFFICE ON Nov 6, 2012.

[denydenydeny]

Lest we forget that this is the “never let a crisis go to waste” administration.

That means, basically, he welcomes pain and hardship for Americans as long as he gets some advantage out of it. It’s easily the most cynical and evil statement to come out of the executive branch in 150 years.

[vpintheak]

Wouldn’t surprise me but I really hate these “sources say” kind of articles. Kind of like getting out your magic 8-ball.

I’ve been through a couple of government shutdowns and this one was shaping up to be very different, implementation wise than the others. We were told we couldn’t use our blackberrys or check email. That didn’t happen before. Also, our contractor continued to work and “essential” government employees were those needed to support the contractor work. This time the contractor was going to be shut down too.

Not sure who makes up the rules for these furloughs, it did seem odd the level of detail(or lack of latitude) they were giving to individual agencies...especially in the designation of essential personnel.

I don't expect the Kenyan freeloader to understand that he and the rest of these Washington clowns work FOR US. This is just further proof that Obama fancies himself a dictator. It's time for someone in DC to do the right thing and impeach this SOB.
