This morning the BBC played part of US President Obamas shutdown speech/statement. In it he said basically, that one branch of government does not get to shut down the whole government. I disagree. In grade school we learned the three sections of government form a system of checks and balances to keep any one of the three sections from getting to much power. So to me, this is part of the process, when things get really bad. But the US president seemed to think that in a stalemate he should be able to override everyone else and impose his will.
I find it very disturbing that the US Presidents understanding of the US Government seems to be less than that of a grade schooler.
Gosh I think as we don’t really understand all the issues involved we will just say have a terrific Tuesday and we hope the issues get resolved.

These are interesting times we live in. It seems there is a crisis a day and we are being ruled by the three stooges, not the three branches.
My sister is pretty sure this will be the last elected US president. It’ll be interesting to see if she is close to being right.
I find the whole US Government Disturbing….every day they are getting more and more Gestapo…
it’s ok for the congress to hold the American people hostage till they get their way?
