well tubgirl we can't make your sort of stupid up as pointed out before to someone that wants to take a popularity poll at a gaming forum and try to equate it to a national poll on a subject.
Of the 1,701 advisers, assistants, number-crunchers, butlers, chefs and landscapers who work at the White House on a normal day, fewer than 450 are on duty, according to President Barack Obama's budget office.
Since the shutdown started, Obama hasn't played a round of golf, as he does almost every weekend. And there was no fancy night at a restaurant for the president and Mrs. Obama, who marked their 21st wedding anniversary Thursday.

Government Shutdown Theater Shows World That Obama Is A Narcissistic Feminized Man Bitch
The main issue with this on-going federal government shutdown is that it doesn’t go nearly far enough. It is comical that during this supposed crisis that some of the most expensive and hated government institutions like the Department of Homeland Security and others continue to function. We also see the U.S. military continuing to occupy foreign lands at great expense. The Obama regime recently launched new military operations in both Somalia and Libya helping continue America’s war of terror against the rest of the world. They’ve even had time to kill more civilians in Afghanistan with another drone strike all while the government is allegedly shutdown. In fact much of the federal government is still actively functioning during this so-called shutdown. A recent estimate suggested that 83% of the federal government is actually still operating. Meanwhile the Obama regime has decided to close down national parks, close down ocean areas, shutdown certain government web sites and barricade open air memorials and monuments. These activities actually make the government consume more resources than if they were to do nothing at all. This proves that Obama is doing these things intentionally so he can inflict as much pain on the American people as possible for his own selfish political purposes. Obama himself even had the nerve to pose for a Presidential portrait during this supposed shutdown. These events prove that Obama and the people who surround him are a disgrace to humanity. Can Obama and his minions possibly be anymore hypocritical? The fact that this man has any support at all is proof that one of the biggest problems America faces is that a significant percentage of its adult population is suffering from some form of brain damage or mental retardation.
There are now countless examples illustrating the fact that Obama is intentionally closing some of the few government services that people actually like and appreciate for political gain. It is also worth noting that even though the government is supposed to be closed for business it is still managing to waste money on a number of frivolous items. The ones mentioned in the previous paragraph are only a sampling. The services being closed are not ones that cost many billions of dollars like the unconstitutional and illegal spy programs or foreign military operations. Instead these are services that could continue to operate for a small fraction of what it costs to fund the myriad of operations that Obama falsely deems as critical.

5 year sobs on day 1 of federal shutdown. "We got home from school and his favorite website nasa.gov was shutdown. He plays the kids games every day and now he is heartbroken."
Sorry I can't help you my friend. I'm as mystified by what's happening as you are. I hope we'll have everything back online for you soon, and I'm glad to hear you enjoy our Kids Club games. -- Brian Dunbar, content manager, NASA.gov.
1. Is the United States secretly arming and supporting various factions of the Syrian Rebels with high caliber impact weapons from The United States arsenals?
2. Is the United States little known Direct Commercial Sales Program, also known as ‘The Blue Lantern Report”, being used as a ‘cutout’ to secretly aid both sides of a Middle Eastern civil war?
3. Is America again playing both sides against the middle for corporate gain as previously demonstrated by the Cuban Project of the fifties and sixties, as well as the Iran Contra fiasco of the eighties and the South American—Mexican Drug Wars of the nineties?
It has been established via some field reports from the Middle East and some isolated media reports that the Direct Commercial Sales Program (DCSP) an American international program, which legally allows the United States to sell weapons to a host of foreign countries without monitoring those weapons after leaving our arsenals, stockpiles, and jurisdiction, has shipped High Impact weapons to Syrian Rebels during the last two years.
4. I have to ask. What happens to those weapons after legally being sold via this program and they leave our control?
5. Are they being monitored, traced, certified, and inventoried after arriving in other countries?
5. Will our troops one day again face these American made weapons on some foreign battlefield?
6. Is this Direct Commercial Sales program a secret cash cow for many US Corporations, International arms merchants, its insiders, or affiliates?
7. Is it possible this could be another ‘off-the-books’ secret covert operation ran by the CIA’s Special Tactical Unit, similar to the Iran-Contra operations of the eighties and the old Cuban projects of the fifties and sixties, where we supplied both sides weapons and escalated the conflict for personal and corporate gain?
8. Could we be selling and supplying dangerous high impact weapons, while aiding and financing both sides of a Civil War in Syria?
9. Could we be escalating the Middle East conflict either knowingly or unintentionally providing weapons to both sides of the Syrian conflict? These are simple questions. I’m just asking:
The similarities of this middle eastern conflict are striking, reminding me of an old CIA operation launched years ago by various specialized political interest in bed with the international arms marketers; similar to the arms deals of Edward P. Wilson of Libyan fame and the formation of the Iran—Contra’s southern front in Costa Rico during the nineteen eighties. In my opinion, the similarity of that ‘off the books’ operation seems to be raising its ugly head once again in the Middle East.
AND NOW The Big Question.
10. Did our Ambassador and others, weeks before they were murdered, notify our State Department and CIA that Syrian Rebels had obtained US Weapons, including "Stinger missiles' from Jordan, Turkey, Pakistan, shipped from CIA safe houses?
11. Were they told to "Stand Down?
Seems no answers from Washington are forth coming. All I asked for was a very simple Yes or No to those eleven questions about Syria and Benghazi.
As an American citizen I would like a response from my elected officials to those questions and not be mix in with a false flag diversion, or a 'pea under the shell' type trick. As a Journalist I'm not asking for much.
I will narrow it down to two question for them, any of them. CIA, DoJ, State, the President, the butler, or the White House window washer. Just some kind of answer.
1. Do we (The USA) have Private contractor's working under CIA or State Department supervision moving weapons around the Middle East?
2. Has any United States weapons from our stockpiles been routed to various factions of the Syrian Rebels in the last three years?
I would like to keep this simple and out of international politics. They are simple questions that only require a simple yes or no. My only reason for asking these questions is to get someone in an official government position to go on record with an answer.
The only answer I have received so far is; 'who is leaking classified information to me'. "This is a National Security matter your messing with" Am I some kind of 'cross breed' similar to a Bradley Manning and Showden, if so Why? ( sorry thats a third question)
Give us the American citizen a chance... we the people can Handle the Truth. Just tell us the TRUTH. Answer the Questions.
I believe that while the questions you posed were not answered with the simple yes or no they should have been answered with they were indeed answered judging from the response of those who control. I'm a simple man but I know the difference between wrong and right and it is beyond clear to me that you are not wrong. Thank you for being on the side of right, and thank you Sir for your efforts. Much respect to you and all the best.

Everything is need to know apparently. This is another sign of the times and how our government is no longer beholden to any of us anymore. Much like a farm, they feel they are our shepherd and we are their animals to fleece, flock, and perpetually fuck over at will. We obviously work for them and not the other way around anymore.
Whatever they have become, or what ever truly controls them, it has clearly run rogue and is running its own agenda more than ever before.
Rights have become privileges......and our privilege are at best arbitrary and highly conditional.
BTW: As you more than likely know, a stinger would have a hard time taking down an airliner unless it was taking off or landing from an airport.
The petition was entitled "Compelled Helmet Use for Misfortunate Public' (CHUMP), and called for the City of Austin to enforce mandatory helmet usage for all citizens in addition to the creation of special walking lanes where people could walk obliviously while texting on their cellphones.
Whew, that's a doozy.right wing progressives.
