What Obama Should do re: the Shutdown
He should let it happen.
Right now the problem is that House and Senate can't agree on a bill. Formally he can't do jack. Informally he could persuade, offer trades, etc., but he can't actually force these guys to agree. That's kinda the point of Separation of Powers. He should go on TV, and explain that.
He should also explain exactly why the GOP proposal is a bad idea.
