".....if you do not like that most of the NSA, say, is still operational, but food and airline safety inspectors are furloughed, that is a decision made by the executive. It exactly reflects Obama’s priorities, it is not a decision made by Republicans. You can blame Republicans for the shutdown, you cannot blame them for the specifics of how it is carried out, that is entirely Obama’s decision. Spying on Americans and killing brown people with drones is vastly important to Obama and always has been. Making sure you don’t die of e-coli, apparently not so much."
