Ted Cruz and Mike Lee being vindicated on shutdown

Thomas Lifson   "The GOP establishment is loath to admit it, but the government shutdown is turning out to be a brilliant political chess move on the part of Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Lee. The Obamacare disaster, fully predictable by anyone who understands the effect of incentives and the fundamental incompetence of academic theorists and left wing ideologues, has made the go-for-broke attempt to stop it an obvious profile in courage. "

.... "President Obama's promise that it will not be repealed "while I am president" makes his ego the problem, and Democrats who support him become equally culpable."
