(342 posts)The tea-boners shut down the government, then danced in the halls of Congress and enthused over their "accomplishment" before turning somber and blaming that very same shutdown on ... Obama! A shutdown they were simultaneously thrilled about yet outraged over. Apparently, you see, Obama took his own administration hostage. And, the Repubs drone on, although the shutdown is no big deal, Obama did it, so it's a VERY big deal. Pretzel logic, to borrow a song title from Steely Dan.
No wonder voters throw up their hands and stop paying attention.
