It's not about blaming the "other side," so much as creating an educated viewpoint of the series of events that led up to this point. When a failure to pass a budget results in a government shutdown, the burden of proof should be clearly placed upon the obstructionist group to validate their actions.
I'd wager the group you consider "more at fault" would be based on your ideology, the same way it would influence your interpretation of the events that led up to this point.

My point is that I'm upset that the House isn't working with the Senate, and I'm upset the administration is making the shutdown more painful than necessary. It's all politics, and I blame them for being political about this.
