Congressional Websites Crash

President Obama pleaded for a debt-ceiling compromise, not an Internet crash—but it looks like that’s what he got. In his speech Monday night, Obama told the American people to “let your Member of Congress know” if they wanted a “balanced approach to the budget.” Since then, Congressional leaders’ websites went down, as well as the House Democrats’ budget-committee site and the New York delegations’ sites. The official cause of the outage is not yet clear.
