And Repugs say that we are always "blaming Bush"?
"Let's put it this way," Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, told CNN. "I'm not about to shut down the government and have Republicans take the blame for it. It's just that simple."
Oh, if you shut down the government, you don't want to be seen as shutting down the government?
Then who IS to blame????????????????

has Obama EVER talked about shutting down the government/defaulting on our debt. In fact, he has made it crystal clear that he does NOT want these things. It would be stretching reality too far to blame President Obama for shutting down the government or defaulting on our debt because it is too crazy for most average people to believe- in the first place- that he would ever voluntarily repeal a LAW that he worked really hard to get Congress to pass. Shutdown/debt default is squarely on the Republicans in Congress. I don't even think that Fox could spin its way out of that.
