- Gabrielle Giffords returned to the House of Representatives after being shot in the head by a madman in January. The Arizona politician arrived moments before the vote was over to express her support for the plan. Giffords is still in outpatient therapy, but took a break to weigh in on the national debt crisis. With just hours to go before the deadline, the debt plan must be passed by the Senate before it can be signed by President Barack Obama.'I have closely followed the debate over our debt ceiling and have been deeply disappointed at what's going on in Washington. I strongly believe that crossing the aisle for the good of the American people is more important than party politics,' she said in a statement she released shortly after the vote.Giffords insisted that despite the fact that she has not fully recovered, although she is well on her way, her attendance was critical.'I had to be here for this vote. I could not take the chance that my absence could crash our economy,' Photo: AP
