Reflecting on the 16-day shutdown a week after it ended, Obama offered the first glimpse at how he and Democrats will seek to frame the crisis in the minds of donors and voters ahead of next years pivotal elections. He portrayed the crisis as an opportunity for Democrats to unite behind a vision of broad-based prosperity, where the government has a hand in giving people the tools to succeed. We believe that government has a role to play, Obama said. Traditionally the president is a partys most potent fundraising tool, and the effort isnt without potential reward for Obama. A return of Congress to full Democratic control next year would open the door to sweeping policies Obama would love to enact but Republicans refuse to consider.
