Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), one of the eight moderate Senate Democrats that had agreed to cooperate with Republicans and cave in the government shutdown fight, defended her decision Monday by insisting that GOP leadership’s promise to hold a vote on extending health care subsidies was sufficient to warrant crossing her party’s leadership.

Appearing on Fox News, Shaheen was asked if she had any doubts that the Senate – which has yet to vote on a spending bill that would end the shutdown – may fail to ultimately reopen the government given the pressure on Senate Democrats to hold firm in their demands to secure funding for health care subsidies.

“No, I don't worry about that because I think people are looking at the millions of Americans who have been affected by this shutdown, the people who are struggling to get food,” Shaheen said.

I wonder if she sat down and listened to the Roosevelt 1933 speech about fear and put her self completely in that moment of a man with polio........

I am asking myself how much does she get from taxpayers in paid pensions of up to 80% of her yearly earnings and paid health care that she gets when she retires when looking in the mirror, along with the other 7 not up for re-election/retiring...........and has one commentator in the piece / article said..........Kabuki Theater
