With the initial concept, the shutdown MIGHT have been blamed on the GOP. But, it's apparent that the GOP is willing to compromise and the American people see that the GOP has bent over backwards to do so.. Add to that the fact that the majority of American people don't like obamacare and don't want obamacare.. If obamacare IS the train wreck that it will likely be AND the shut down continues for more than a day or so, this is going to be a PR nightmare for Obama and the Democrats.. Which might have been the GOP plan all along. Have the shutdown going on with a train wreck backdrop.. How can the people NOT blame Democrats?? If that was the plan and it DOES pan out, ya gotta admit. Stroke of genius.. :D Michale Keep in mind that the entire dynamic has changed..
