Well Americans should be blaming Congress and the President. Congress hasn't been functioning in the best interest of the citizens in a very long time. When was the last time we had a proper budget? The Presidents rhetoric of not compromising isn't helpful. In my opinion, Washington has totally lost site of their jobs.

Well, Obama wants to get the Affordable Care Act through and isn't willing to cave on that matter, which I can totally relate to. 45 million (I believe) Americans will get the chance to finally have some sort of health insurance -- it is beyond me that the Republicans are willing to cause all that mayhem we're witnessing right now just because they're opposed to the passing of one law. If that's considered a legitimate democratic tool... Nice prospects!
