“I think some of our members may have thought the default issue was a hostage you might take a chance at shooting. Most of us didn’t think that.

“Our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny President Obama a second term.” — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, speaking at the Heritage Foundation in 2010 (video above)
