Why is the president saying that the shutdown is a Republican shutdown when Harry Reid is refusing to?

Later, he'll claim George W. Bush is responsible.

Until the house passes a bill, there is nothing the senate or the president can do.

Anyone that things congress is exempt from the requirement to have health insurance is spending way too much time listening to people that lie to them. Congress has medical insurance because of their employment. They are no more exempt than I am. I have medical insurance through my employment as well.

The exchanges are there for people that are unable to obtain insurance through employment.

Ted Cruz called for tying Obamacare to a continuing resolution, because the House voted 40+ times to repeal the act - but not winning enough elections meant they couldn't stop it.

If the House had sent a bill to fund the government without trying to make statutory changes, it would have passed the Senate. It's a back end run around of the fact the GOP doesn't control the government.

How you can blame Harry Reid for that is ridiculous.

Republicans said they would shut down the government and they did.

Never trust a democrat. Those jackasses stick together.
