The Daily Quote
“John A. Boehner does not want to be remembered as the Shutdown Speaker. As Congress returns from recess on Monday facing a Dec. 11 deadline for funding the government, Mr. Boehner and his fellow Republican leaders are working to persuade the rank and file — furious over President Obama’s executive action on immigration — that engaging in a spending confrontation is the wrong way to counter the White House. That would set the wrong tone, they argue, as Republicans prepare to take over Congress and fulfill promises to govern responsibly… ‘Shutting down the entire government over something never did make sense to the American people, still doesn’t and won’t in the future,’ said Senator Richard M. Burr, a North Carolina Republican who is part of Mr. Boehner’s inner circle.” - New York Times, 11/30/2014
