United States Gov't Reopens after 16-day shutdown.

Gov't reopens after Congress ends 16-day shutdown.

"Obama and his Democratic allies on Capitol Hill were the decisive winners in the fight, which was sparked by tea party Republicans like Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who prevailed upon skeptical GOP leaders to use a normally routine short-term funding bill to "defund" the 2010 health care law known as Obamacare." - Andrew Taylor (AP).

Of course, President Obama and his Democratic allies were the winners. I love the way he stood up to those enemies of progress who are still living in the cave age. It's high time they realized that this is the 21st Century! And above all, it's high time they knew and accepted the fact (and the reality) that President Obama is in charge!!
