FILE - In this Oct. 2, 2013 file photo people visit the closed World War II Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, despite signs stating that the national parks are closed due to the federal shutdown. The Lincoln Memorial is in the background. The shutdown is transforming a musty debate over the role of government in America into a coast-to-coast, prime-time reality show.

There's an old saying that if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. It may be a sign of the times, then, that President Barack Obama this month got a second pooch. Summer, that time when kids cool off at the pool and adults gain fresh perspective on long beach walks, seems to have done nothing but harden the partisan divisions and rancor that permeate Washington.

President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney can speak with authority when they complain about their words being taken out of context.
