Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth said the U.S. president's attempts to pin the shutdown on Democrats, especially by using the military, were examples of him failing to take responsibility.

With all the talk about a possible government shutdown due to an impasse on immigration reform, no one seems to be paying attention to a story of even bigger long-term consequence.

The racist in the White House is now openly employing the most debased kind of incitement against his political opponents.
