This is an epic disappointment.

We had Obama and Reid on the ropes. They had nothing. The House gave them 14 (or was it 17) bills which funded everything in the government except Obamacare. The onus of the shutdown was on the Dems, despite what the left said, and most people were beginning to realize that.

All the Repukes had to do was stand shoulder to shoulder and not budge. They could have broken the will of the Dems if they’d only done that. They had the power of the purse on the House side, and all the Dems had was Dingy Hairy’s obstructionism on the other.

We were almost there, and like they’ve done so often in the past, the Republicans snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Those here who remained pessimistic throughout this thing, have been vindicated. The Pubbies have dropped the ball at the end zone, resulting in a 100 yard Democrat run back for a touchdown, yet again.

And what did it cost Obama? Absolutely nothing.

That's the important thing.

Who is like unto the beast? Who can make war with him?

Certainly not the traitorous, stoneless pubes.
