Blog 4- Government Shutdown
Link:

After Obama-care was passed, the GOP has tried everything in their power to get it to fail, We are now a couple of weeks into the government shutdown and tensions are starting to rise. Today Republican leaders and President Obama meet to discuss the shutdown. The president didn't allow "terms and conditions" to be set on the debt ceiling and the republicans are willing to make a slight compromise. However, the shutdown continues.
This is very relevant to APGOPO because it shows the intense rivalries that exist in the government between the two parties.While we have a Democratic president, we have a Republican congress and this is leading to some messy battles. I personally don't believe in Obama-care, but i'm not sure that the government shutdown is the best way to stop it.
