Obama and the democrats have the media behind them and they are doing the bidding blaming it all on the republicans this time. Somehow it was ok to shutdown the government when the democrats were in control during the majority of the shutdowns but now for the republicans it's a jihad.

The closure of the WWII memorial and other select sites just goes to show how they are trying to create a political scene at the expense of the republicans. For the administration to barricade memorials that are open air and normally unattended parks from WWII Vets and then threaten arrest is bizarre and a shame not to mention a waste of money.

FTR, I don't agree with the republicans strategy linking the ACA to their demands.
