Someone is Manned the Website.

The White House website had a comment about the shut down, yet this blog is maintained.  It seems the only thing that cannot be maintained and managed is the stuff, that before the shut down, required no management.   So, is this transparency or "in your face"?

Interestingly, a political barb appeared on the White House site, almost immediately, when Congress stayed true to form and did nothing . . .

Due to Congress’s failure to pass legislation to fund the government, the information on this web site may not be up to date. Some submissions may not be processed, and we may not be able to respond to your inquiries.

Information about government operating status and resumption of normal operations is available atUSA.GOV.

I'm leaving these links as they appear in the browser.  Obviously by this blog date, the website was being maintained, so the message on the first page simply indicates a lack of leadership, but exemplary skills in the blame game.

I went ahead and listed just a few more here, as they seem to be very good PR blogs, while the slam on Congress looms near the top of the page.
