The shine is off Obama’s star. He totally mishandled the shut down. He’s petulant.
The key to all this is that Congress is like a fish ball in the ocean. You might not like it, but you can’t target it because it’s a mass and a moving mass.
You can focus on one person, the President. Obama’s brains blew this big time.
Had dinner last night with some liberal friends. They brought up the shut down with the typical "Congress shouldn't hold the country hostage". I responded why should those in power and their friends receive special treatment and everyone else be subject to obamacare? They had no response.
We are winning this fight. Now that obama threatens a default, when it doesn't happen all he will have left is not paying social security. The Rats will force him to sit down at the negotiating table at that point because everyone can see he is the cause of the shut down.
The House just has to hang tough. So far Bohner has done pretty well I'm praying he can keep it up.
