WINNING!

A dark cloud loomed over Washington D. C. on April 8, with the question everyone was asking: Would the government shut down tonight?
The answer: Not today!
Obama issued funding of an extension for Republicans and Democrats to work on the budget, extending the government to make deal by next Friday.
So, who wins with this extension? Does it benefit the Republicans or Democrats?  More importantly does it help or hurt us, the American citizens?
Republicans and Tea Partiers are winners in this situation; they have more time to get the necessary cuts that is needed to be made.  They showed they will not back down for what they and their voters believe in, they are looking to the future for this country making sure it has some hope under this administration.
Democrats on the other hand are clearly to blame.
“Had they done their jobs last year, when Democrats has ample majorities in the House and Senate, the government would have been funded for the current fiscal year,” reports from Fox Nation
Along with his buddies, Obama will be suffering in the long term. Michelle Malkin a Fox News contributor raised some valid points concerning where Obama's priorities reside:
 I wish the government would have shut down Friday because that would mean
over 80,000 federal workers out of a job temporally and government elected officials would not get paid either. Government offices would be shut down completely and the federal employees would not be receiving paychecks maybe then they could feel like the true American citizens of this country are feeling. Where in the U.S. 8.8% of Americans are unemployed and falling behind on bills.
American citizens are not winning with the extension in the long term, the Democrats with the prolonging of something that was needed to be done LAST June. When are Democrats and Obama going to own up and admit that they are wrong, they messed up?
Obama's  idea of "winning the future," does not back up what Democrats have been dishing. Obama you might want to change your slogan.
