Headlines that aren't what the Republicans hoped for

WASHINGTON -- Readers of newspapers -- yes, they still exist -- woke up Tuesday morning to dueling headlines. The shutdown of the federal government dominated front pages, with many papers looking into how the situation would reverberate locally.

But the opening of the health care exchanges under Obamacare was the other big story, one that received a mix of positive and skeptical coverage but still found its way on to the front page.

These headlines certainly weren't what many conservatives had in mind a few weeks ago, when they plotted to delay or alter the health care law through a protracted showdown over the budget. Obamacare survived the showdown. The government didn't.

1. I think that's one of the reasons they did it.

To take away the headlines from Obamacare starting.

2. Except they haven't.

If you've clicked on the link every paper shows "Government shut down" "Obamacare open". Contrasting the two Obama looks like the more competent.
