Maybe he will share one 
CREDO will send John Boehner a pacifier for every person who tells him to end the shutdown

Seriously, Obama is the President of the United States. And he acts like it.
The president has been all over the tee vee on this and I'm surprise a thinking critical person wouldn't be aware of that. 
but I've been listening to him pound those a-holes into the ground every day. 
2. where do I get some?
I could use a break from reality...
That leaves 28% not blaming the GOP. Of that 28%, some percent will be too busy surviving to be watching or even aware there is a shutdown.
You're never going to have 90% blaming the GOP. 25% of diehards conservatives and teabaggers is as good as it's going to get.
Please pass the pipe; you've been smoking too much.
Let them dig away, I say! 2014 is down there somewhere
Thanks for playing.
. . .and realize that this is not the first time we've had a government shutdown, or even the second since 1995. . .

The government shutdown reached its fourth day on Friday with seemingly little movement on either side over the issue of passing a funding resolution to allow the government to function. Perhaps surprisingly, there has also been seemingly little impact on stocks. For the week the S&P 500 was essentially flat, while the large-cap Dow suffered a bit more falling 1.2%. However, the Nasdaq was up 0.7% and the small-cap Russell 2000 also managed a small gain of 0.4%.
But if we examine history, we find that such a result is not at all unusual. Believe it or not, there have been 17 prior government shutdowns in the US since 1976, with an average duration of 6.4 days. During the shutdown the average return of the S&P 500 was 0.8%, and it had an average return of 1.0% in the month following the end of the stoppage. What if the shutdown drags on much further? Well, the longest shutdown came in late 1995 into early 1996, lasting 21 days. But even then, the S&P 500 rose 0.1% during the stoppage and 4.0% in the month after the shutdown ended.**
A bigger concern, however, is the looming debt ceiling which is projected to be reached around October 17. Should the ceiling not be raised by then, there is the risk of a default on US Treasury bonds. Such a default would have the potential to severely impact the markets. There may be some ways to avoid default even if we do bump up against the ceiling, by paying the interest on our debt and not paying other bills, but that is uncharted legal territory. Because the risks in this case (unlike the shutdown) are so large, we believe that a deal will get done, even though the current stalemate might suggest otherwise.
