It's Blackwhite

Since I hope nobody watches Fox "News," perhaps this was missed.

A cople of days ago on Fox,John McCain explicitly stated and emphasized that the government shutdown is a Republican shutdown that was ill-advised from the beginning.

That, coupled with Michelle Bachmann's admission early on that "We're very excited. This (the shutdown) is exactly what we wanted, and we got it" should pretty much settle the question. To call this Obama's shutdown, as the party of personal responsibility is doing, is right out of 1984...blackwhite.

Still, having stated clearly that the shutdown is a Republican responsibility, McCain, like all the Republicans, is oh so disappointed that the president hasn't negotiated with them. Well, I am oh so disappointed that the Republicans think we are all idiots.
