Sen. Marco Rubio's official website has been down for nearly an entire day, and the St. Petersburg Times thinks President Barack Obama is to blame.
Obama asked last night that people call all of their legislators to ask them to find a compromise on all this debt-ceiling drama, and Rubio's site went down shortly thereafter.
