Congressional sites crash after Obama's speech

What'll crash your servers faster than a Drudge link? Possibly President Barack Obama.

Monday night Obama took to the bully pulpit and asked Americans to contact their members of Congress and urge them to reach a compromise on the debt ceiling. Since the prime-time, televised speech aired, websites for Hill leaders have been down and other Congressional sites have been on the fritz, including the House Democrats' Budget Committee site. The New York delegation's sites have been down, also.

"The American people may have voted for divided government, but they didn't vote for a dysfunctional government," Obama said during his address. "So I'm asking you all to make your voice heard. If you want a balanced approach to reducing the deficit, let your Member of Congress know. If you believe we can solve this problem through compromise, send that message."

The site, Down For Me or Everyone, confirms it's not just Politico having problems, as the Huffington Post first reported.

The official cause of the outage has not been confirmed, yet.
