If Obama wants to unilaterally delay the implementation of the employer mandate that why is it so unreasonable that the individual mandate be delayed for one year as well. The law was passed like it or not so implement the entire thing as it was meant to be implemented when it was passed or delay all of it for one year. Don't pick and choose what part of the law you want to implement.
Also if Obamacare is as great a thing as everyone seems to think it is than why are Congress and congressional staffers exempt from it. I don't think the GOP request, to all of congress and congressional staffers be subject to the law, is unreasonable.
The Democrats are just as much to blame in this shut down as the GOP.

Typical. Whenever the Republicans do something monumentally stupid, GOP apologists will just go ahead and deflect by saying both parties are to blame. Frankly, if I were a Texan, I would be ashamed to admit it right now. Thank you Texas for giving the world Ted Cruz, who is damn near the worst Senator of all time already. Then there is your wack job Governor Rick Perry, and that ahole Randy Neugebauer. You guys have a knack for electing really stupid insane individuals who have no character and zero likeability. Just what do you see in these people? They are truly awful human beings.
