House Speaker John Boehner indulges in some magical thinking to justify the radical, destructive course he just put the nation on by caving into Sen. Ted Cruz's Obamacare defunding hoax.
Boehner: "The House has listened to the American people. Now it's time for the Senate to listen as well."

Boehner addresses Senate: "The American people don't want the gov't shutdown on they don't want Obamacare."

The "people," even the ones who don't like Obamacare, actually think that what Congress should be doing, rather than defunding it, is
making it work. In fact, there's only one tiny subset of the American public cheering today's vote in the House, who
want a government shutdown, and that's the teabaggers. The real people of American
overwhelmingly think Republicans need to try to start governing instead of obstructing.
But you go, John Boehner. You go all the way to destroying the Republican party for the foreseeable future.
Stand with Daily Kos and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in denouncing Republicans who would completely shut down the government just to destroy Obamacare.
