White House press secretary Jay Carney on Tuesday said Americans are more concerned with the shutdown and its long-term effects than “anything else, really,” and that issue will be on their minds as they had to the polls in Virginia, New Jersey, New York City and elsewhere.
“We’ve moved on here in this room and elsewhere across Washington on what the story of the day is … but when it comes to the American people out there, I guarantee you that most of your readers and viewers and listeners care a lot more about their economic plight and how the shutdown affected their lives and how what Washington does affects economic growth and job creation than a lot of other things. Anything else, really,” Mr. Carney told reporters at Tuesday afternoon’s briefing. ....
“The shutdown was basically a willful deliberate action taken by some in Congress to do harm to the economy and harm to the middle class,” Mr. Carney said. “We are now, and we will for a long time, experience the consequences of that kind of reckless behavior on Capitol Hill.”

Jay Carney must have an ulcer the size of a football.
So when the economy double tanks next Spring as money flows out of consumption and into “affordable” premiums, we know what they will be blaming.
Look, over there! Something shiny!
They wish.
At first I thought this was about Bam Bam kicking the American people out of the White House and our national memorials and monuments.
That’s on him, the dirty cur.
Yeah obviously a Govt shutdown is WAY more important than your LIFE right Carney..who by the way is EXEMPT from Obamacare, how cute
can anyone find carney’s portal to his alternate reality, or do you haveto live in obaa’s colon to get an invite?
i wonder if barrys numbers would rise if he got rid of carney?
with the current approval sitting at just UNDER 40 percent...what could it hurt.
He is nuts. No one but true believers or govt workers cared about the shutdown.
The shutdown is fading in memory like the moon, Obama care disaster is like the sun rising.
No, you moron, what Americans are most concerned with is the con that Obama, with the collusion of Pelosi and Reid perpetrated on the American people.
Shrugging your shoulders and saying, "It's the law! Nothing can change, now!" isn't going to hack it.
I understand that any individual or group can file a RICO charge, and I can think of no reason why members of Congress or the Executive Department are immune to criminal acts, under color of statutory protection.
How does a multi-million member class-action suit by American citizens sound? How do we find a really unafraid Constitutional attorney?
Yea, and Øbozo was responsible for that too (and lied about it but what else is new?!).
The White House lies... but it doesn’t matter because they know how to rig elections.
Um, Bammy, it’s you and the Democrats who shut it down. The Right voted to fund everything, they just wanted everyone to get the same ACA extensions as your pals. Pretty obvious now that those extensions were needed...but no, you went for “my way or shut it down”...
The government shut down? When?
“Mr Carney, please name the Republicans who choose the programs to shut down during the government shutdown. Who did that?”
