Palin: Blame Obama for Shutdown

Politico reports:

Sarah Palin wants to see the federal government shut down — as long as Barack Obama gets blamed for it.

Palin tweeted her position Thursday night, but didn’t seem to indicate that Republicans are playing a role in the negotiations. After news broke that the president would veto a one-week extension proposed by Republicans, Palin took to Twitter to encourage the GOP to back a shutdown unless the president caved.

“Pres will veto 1-week spending bill to avoid govt shutdown if Congress passes,” Palin said. “So, now $4T later, leaderless govt digs further debt, bickers over cutting peanuts — peanuts we don't even have. It's unsustainable! Let him shut it.”

“Obama's petulant obstruction = shutdown,” she added.
