Partial U.S. Government shutdown

[Karen]

I do like it when any politician, regardless of gender, decides to actually get something done, just wish they had done it 12 days earlier!

Let's stop lauding one gender as being responsible for either the stoppage or the bailout - it is a mixed group, and I am sure someone with a different point of view politically could pick three men and claimed it was all their doing just as much.

They all screwed up - men, women, Republican and Democrat, and while I would not have believed I could have less trust for politicians in general, it has sunk to new lows. There is no "feel good" moment in this, you cannot fool me, no matter how many pundits and talking heads try to!

Doris and I were watching (I am forced to watch MSNBC on her TV - So, I'll pass on commenting on gender and women dictators........JUST KIDDING) the tube......

There was some kind of post game round table discussion about the effects of the shutdown and what the prez needed to do to get back into the good graces of the people. The talking head said that part of the focus should be on immigration reform so he could keep his popularity with that segment of the population.


I thought, "No mention of the people that were affected by the shutdown" - The only thing that these idiots care about is how the polls look for them.......And the worst part is that everyone will forget about this in few weeks and the finger pointing and blame game will start over again when this 'extension' runs out.
