Who do you blame more for the shutdown?

As I've said multiple times, Obama deserves some blame because he's bargained with these terrorists before. But, obviously, the Republicans are more to blame. It's their damn shutdown...

True, his idiocy in 2011 emboldened Congressional Republicans to make even more extortions.

None of the above. The drafters of the Constitution are the ones at fault. There is no individual responsibility for Members of Congress, especially in instances where the Executive and Legislature are controlled by different parties.

The framers failed to anticipate parties, or rather to the extent they did, they considered them evil.  The situation we're facing with a government shutdown and the looming debt ceiling battle would essentially be impossible if we had 535 Independent Congressmen

The framers started the political parties, and passed the 12th amendment to encourage political parties.
