The latest headlines from Obama:
- Says Senate would allow negotiations on a longer-term budget deal that would not shut down government
- Everyone must sit down and negotiate in good faith
- Can’t have talks under the risk of a potential US debt default
- Expects to speak with Congressional leaders Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Assume every headline is posturing for the blame game. The Senate begins debating at 2 pm and is set to send the funding bill back to House after stripping out Obamacare provisions.
