Nebraska Congressman Adrian Smith says he wasn’t enthusiastic, but did favor approving a flawed budget bill rather than shutting down the federal government.
Smith says he gave the trillion dollar budget bill qualified support. . .

Smith says the president manipulated the federal government during the last budget crisis to have the most impact on the public and place Republicans in a bad light.

Smith says Republicans will have the opportunity next year to confront President Barack Obama over his immigration executive order and aspects of the federal health insurance law.
