http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/361030/senate-republicans-look-jam-boehner-jonathan-strongReturning from their White House meeting with President Obama, some Republican senators said they are fed up with how Speaker John Boehner and the House GOP have handled the shutdown showdown and are ready to take charge of the debate.
The House Republicans so far dont want to get rid of the shutdown. I dont know in what world were faring well under the shutdown, in terms of policy or politics. So, in that sense, yeah, Id rather have the Senate take charge, says Arizona senator Jeff Flake.
