Obama calls Boehner; stalemate goes on
There were news conferences and a high-level phone call between President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, but no immediate sign of progress on reopening the government a week into a partial shutdown or reaching a deal to avoid the first-ever U.S. default next week.
Obama called Boehner on Tuesday morning, and the White House then announced the president would make a statement and take some questions from reporters at 2 p.m. ET.
Earlier, Boehner demanded that Obama and Democrats negotiate with Republicans on steps needed to end the shutdown that began on October 1 and raise the nation's debt ceiling before the deadline for default on October 17.

Oct 2013: "WHY AREN'T YOU NEGOTIATING???"
By some of the socialist left wing garbage they regurgitate I would reason that yes they are cluckers (crackheads).
Let me guess, let me guess: you listen to Fox and Rush for your talking points, don't you? No refutation, only insults. Yep. Low info voter.
That was for The Hamsta. Don't know why it didn't post where it should have.
Exactly @ banasy and your 9:47 post. And aren't the mosquitoes big this year? I keep hearing them buzz anyway lol.
Cluck cluck (they call em cluckers cuz they peck at the carpet looking for rocks)
“Your purpose, then, plainly stated, is that you will destroy the Government, unless you be allowed to construe and enforce the Constitution as you please, on all points in dispute between you and us. You will rule or ruin in all events.”
— Abraham Lincoln
Wow @ banasy, A.Lincoln must've had a premonition about our Congress!
Yes, Chrissy, Abe Lincoln was obviously bedeviled by an intransigent Congress, also.
ACA does provide consumer options. It's the free market in action, which is why it started at the Heritage Foundation.
The ACA law was passed by both Chambers of Congress, signed by the President, found Constitutional by the Supreme Court and approved by the American populace in the Presidential race of 2012.
I can't raise anything. Ran out of scaffolding.
All continuing resolutions should begin with: "Whereas the Congress has once again failed miserably to perform even the most basic of its duties, the rest of the country will suffer as follows: . . ."
Blocked
Ran out of scaffolding.
The Presidential race of 2012 by OVER 5,000,000 votes lest the GOTP forgets!
Lol @ banasy, and as long as some of our congressional clowns have been in office they might be some of the very same clowns President Lincoln had to contend with also! Lmao
Yes. Even Lincoln most likely had a Weiner.
Ya know @ cnn, its bad enough that whenever we try to post we have to first, be verbally abused by your resident kook. But then you delete our ON TOPIC posts and leave ITS smack crapola posts up! What gives with that?
