Week In The News: Shutdown Showdown, U.N. Speeches And Obamacare (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/10/04/week-in-the-news-shutdown-showdown-un-speeches-and-obamacare

It has been the week of shutdown, with no clear relief in sight, an unsettling soundtrack of gunfire, and a whole lot more risk ahead.  Republicans handed the reins to hardcore Tea Party opponents of the Affordable Care Act – and there we’re stuck.  Democrats say they won’t negotiate with hostage takers.  The country, looking like a hostage.  While Washington fought, an historic health reform rolled out.  Lots of glitches.  But it lives.  The woman who crashed into Capitol Hill barriers in her car does not.  Up next On Point:  Shutdown.  A shooting.  Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines.
– Tom Ashbrook
