In an epic and failed display for the public, figureheads in Washington tried to dupe the American people with the new government shutdown. And yes Anderson Cooper, dupe is a word.

WASHINGTON — Here we are people, it’s October 1st, and the government is shutdown.

Tuesday, President Barrack Obama released a video statement saying, “Those of you in uniform will remain on your normal duty status. Threats to our national security have not changed and we need you to be ready for any contingency  Ongoing military operations, like our efforts in Afghanistan will continue. If you are serving in harms-way we will make sure you have what you need to succeed in your missions”.

Obama then went on to address all Department of Defense employees, even addressing their recent furloughs and families, pointing out that the future for DoD employees may be looking grim.

Although some Americans such as Carol Ann, whom I interviewed via telephone Tuesday, believe that the current government shutdown is merely a staged spectacle that will ultimately gain the Obama Administration the approval and provisions funding it seeks for Obamacare by conditioning the general public through propaganda.

Obama spewed propaganda in an afternoon news conference Tuesday, saying, “One faction of one party in one house of Congress in one branch of government shut down major parts of the government all because they didn’t like one law,” Mr. Obama said. “This Republican shut down did not have to happen, but I want every American to understand why it did happen. Republicans in the House of Representatives refused to fund the government unless we defunded or dismantled the Affordable Care Act. They’ve shut down the government over an ideological crusade to deny affordable health insurance to millions of Americans. In other words, they demanded ransom just for doing their job.”, CBSNews.com reported._[1] 

And for those of you who are wondering what the “duped” reference means at the beginning of this article, the one directed toward Anderson Cooper, you can watch the is the video. In the video Cooper mentions, “he doesn’t even know what that means”, referring to the word “duped”.
