The all-purpose media guide to government dysfunction

foxnews.com - Sick of the shutdown yet?It seems like we’re inundated with the same talking points from each side as the government’s partial closure heads into its second week.Why won’t the Democrats negotiate? Oh yeah, why are the Republicans holding a gun to our head?It’s like a game of tennis in which no one scores a point. President Obama felt the need yesterday to swat back John Boehner’s charge that the Democrats won’t talk, saying that he’s happy to negotiate after the government reopens (when the GOP would have less leverage) and that his side has already compromised by agreeing to the stopgap bill at Republican funding levels.
