Part - V - Best Comments over Shut Down..!

As the government shut down this week, the political echo chamber certainly did not. Here are some of the best quotes about the shutdown.

“This is about the happiest I’ve seen members in a long time because we’ve seen we’re starting to win this dialogue on a national level.”

— Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), on Fox News’s “Sean Hannity”.

 “We’ve obscured a lot. We’ve obscured our victory on the spending level, and we obscured the failures of Obamacare on its first day. … We should show what we got.”

— Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.),.

“Think about the precedent. What’s next? What if the Democratic extreme said, ‘Well we’re not going to sign a budget unless you do away with assault weapons?’ What if we’re not going to have a budget unless 20 people around here decide that everybody under the age of 40 should wear a tin hat around? This is not the way you govern a great country.”

— Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.), on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”.

“Democratic leaders in Congress finally have their prize, a government shutdown that no one seems to want but them,”

— Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.),.

 Last but not least...

“My simple message today is: Call a vote. Call a vote. Put it on the floor. Take a vote, stop this farce and end this shutdown right now. The only thing that’s keeping the government shut down … is that Speaker John Boehner won’t even let the bill get a yes or no vote because he doesn’t want to anger the extremists in his party.”

— President Barack Obama, at a construction company in Maryland.
