Barack Obama@BarackObama

They actually did it. A group of Republicans in the House just forced a government shutdown over Obamacare instead of passing a real budget.

None of our live animal cams will broadcast during the #shutdown. The cams require federal resources, primarily staff, to run and broadcast.

American Government started to shut down. Not sure what the fuss is. Italian Government shut down about 40 years ago and no one's noticed.

How ironic. Today's @google doodle celebrates the 123rd anniversary of Yosemite National Park on the day it closes due to the gov't shutdown
