WILLIAM GALSTON, SHUTDOWN FALLOUT/TEA PARTY/GOP William Galston, senior fellow in the Brookings Institution’s Governance Studies Program talks about the repercussions of the partial government shutdown for the future of the Republican Party and for President Obama’s second term agenda. He also tells host Carol Castiel and VOA Washington Correspondent Kent Klein that Republican opposition to “Obamacare,” President Obama’s signature health care law, exemplifies a fundamentally different vision of the role and scope of government and unease with the changing demographics of the United States.
