There are still 7 working hours till midnight…unless of course the Dems don't plan on using them and want to have dinner instead.

Obama (and Democrats) clearly enjoy pointing out that the Obamacare exchanges will open regardless

Obama: "One faction of one party in one house of Congress in one branch of government doesn't get to shut down the government." Sadly, false

Obama refused to negotiate or compromise with House GOP. It’s is shutdown.

One of the upsides is that the American people will get to hear about "nonessential" government employees staying home.

That begs the question: Why are we employing those people if they're non-essential?
