Let's see, congress had responsibility to pass appropriations bills before the fiscal year ended.

House Republicans didn't bother. (In fact, House Speaker R-Spraytan Boehner refused to appoint anyone to even negotiate WITH. Meanwhile Senate Republicans have refused to send the ALREADY PASSED Senate budget to any sort of conference committee for negotiatiations (though, again, the House Republicans never placed anyone on the committee to negotiate WITH so... yeah...) .

So now October 1st rolls around and government is shutting down because congress ~~House Republicans are having a temper tantrum~~ couldn't get its shit together.

And rather than pass a continuing resolution to keep government open and work on getting appropriation bills passed, House Republicans decide now is a GREAT time to demand the repeal of a law that, from a continuing resolution standpoint, has absolutely nothing to do with funding the government (plus adding new demands like allowing your employer to choose what your insurance covers based on your employer's religion (or any other objection they might have, so x-nay on birth control co-pay wommenz if it makes your employer frowny. You shouldn't have jobs anyway. Get back in the kitchen and make some pie!)

And this is all... President Obama's fault.(?!)

WTH?

Projection much?
