Why Obama Won the Shutdown


Though the president made a point to say during his remarks on the end of the shutdown, "There are no winners here," that's not entirely true. While the days of the shutdown marked a low point for the American people and an even lower point for government, the crisis ultimately marked a major win for the Obama presidency, and legacy. Here are five reasons why. 1. The public blames the GOP. According to the numbers the president has won the war of public opinion. A Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll found that 53 percent of Americans blame the GOP for the shutdown while 31 percent blame the president. The president now looks like one of the only grownups left in Washington, while his foes look like obstinate children.
