Abusing the threat of a government shutdown to get what you want has happened in 5 of the last 6 presidencies, two of which were Democratic Presidents. Granted, the shutdowns during H.W.'s and Reagan's presidencies each lasted 3 days or less.

The one president who never shut down the government was actually George W. Bush.

Good points. 

I think with bush, it was fear on both sides that they would look unamerican if they opposed anything.
