The House GOP appears to be more delusional than someone suffering flashbacks to a Terry Gilliam film in which they never starred.
While polls have consistently showed that if the government shuts down, Congressional Republicans will receive the majority of the blame, the House GOP doesn't feel this way for some odd reason. They feel that the American people will blame President Obama - you know, for being elected, re-elected, and not signing a bill to repeal, defund or delay his healthcare bill for a year.
Let's break this down for a moment:
1) President Obama got elected in 2008
2) He signed his signature healthcare bill in his first term
3) Even though the GOP told the American people Obamacare would be repealed if they were elected to office, Obama won re-election in 2012, and Democrats picked up seats in the House and Senate for good measure.
4) The House GOP is saying if this elected and re-elected president doesn't do something about the healthcare bill they fought so hard against leading up to the 2012 election, they will speak for the American people and shut down the government.
The American people spoke for themselves in 2008 and 2012. Obama won. Get over it, unless you want to lose the House in 2014. If so, keep it up, because the people are getting angry and we're not tripping on acid like some of you apparently are in thinking we'll blame President Obama over you.
