David Corn of Mother Jones: "Should Obama bring out some anger in response to shut down..."

David Corn of Mother Jones asked the question on his FB Page, should President Obama bring out some anger regarding what is happening with the shut down and debt ceiling to which I replied:

"No need. All the polls are telling us that the American Public will overwhelmingly blame the Republicans for what is happening with the shut down. When your opponents are engaging in a circular firing squad, don't distract them or get in the way."
