There needs to be a greater level of civility. Why it wasn't done in the first place is beyond me. I know that I would be doing gatherings of of the state delegation and of the committees that I would be on in Congress to get people to know each other.
The shut down was Obama's fault .
He is the leader of the country and yes , the buck stops with him .
He was a community organizer and an AWOL senator and you gave him the task of running your country , very foolish and dangerous.
Keep all who voted against the US and its citizens after taking an oath to protect our country out of government and DC.
Measure twice , cut once is not in the GOP play book .
