White House asking for sad shutdown stories
Washington Examiner ^ | 10/4/2013 | ASHE SCHOW

How has the government shutdown affected you?”

That's the question posted Thursday at 7:50 p.m. on the White House blog by Nathaniel Lubin, acting director of digital strategy for the Obama administration.

Don’t forget that at the top of the blog, a handy little disclaimer notes that “due to Congress’s failure to pass legislation to fund the government, the information on this web site may not be up to date.”

Looks like it’s perfectly up to date.

Also remember that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., won't bring up any resolutions that would fund government programs such as national parks and veterans' services.

So, while hundreds of thousands of Americans are furloughed for being “non-essential,” the White House has found asking for their stories to be “essential.”

I am going to post a happy story, and it’s going to include Gallup showing Dear Leader’s job approval has gone from a 52% mark to a 41% mark.....hehehe,,and a demand that this country honor her veterans fully!

I can’t wait to leave them a story!

I don’t feel like an IRS or FBI colonoscopy so I’ll defer. Instead get a list of emails to all the networks, talking heads, reporters and other quisling propagandist and flood their emails instead.

If the USDA website is shut down due to the shut down, WTF is that doing up and running?

Their question:

Congress has two jobs to do: pass a budget and pay its bills.

But earlier this week, Congress failed to pass legislation to fund the government, and now many vital services are shut down.

My feedback to them:

Obama has but ONE job: to be a leader. He has failed. Miserably.

I’ll expect my own private IRS audit to begin by Monday.

"How has the government shutdown affected you?”"

It has amplified my resolve to defy The W0n in all ways possible by an order of magnitude.

We should help them out.

Flood the website about our personal sadness that the whole damn thing is not shut down.

Give specific grievances like NPR is spewing crap and such.

White House is looking for stooges and lies. They are really desperate. The smell of defeat is in the air for them.

It has restored my faith in Congress! That they will stand up to executive abuse of power and reinstitute the balance of powers set forth in our constitution.

LOL!! That will get their blood boiling. I will probably get audited now,

HER: I don’t like it cause ALL my ‘baby daddy’s’ show up after he go to ‘work’ in the Morning. Now he can’t go to work the baby daddy’s and special ‘uncles’ can’t visit me during the day, which is costing me extra spending moneys.

HE: I don’t like it cause instead of going out and selling dope every day (she thinks I work for the gubbiment) I have to stay home because my phony job is shut down.
I can’t even begin to convince her ANYTHING I do is essential. Xcept for screwing, she couldn’t survive without my ‘snake’, and she is true to me.
