A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner (BAY-nur) says President Barack Obama has called the speaker to say he still won’t negotiate on ending the partial government shutdown or raising the nation’s debt limit.
Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck says the call took place Tuesday morning.
The call came as a partial shutdown of the government enters its second week with no sign of ending.
Boehner says he is willing to negotiate budget issues with President Barack Obama without any conditions. But Obama says it’s Congress’ responsibility to pay its bills and that negotiating on these issues would set a dangerous precedent.

obama is an arrogant idiot. Only such as person holds his nose in the air so high. he rather destroy the country than negotiate with fellow Americans; but the idiot will bow before Iran. How his honor is more important than anything.
the waste president in history
It is time that Obama realizes that he doesn’t OWN this country and he is NOT the KING. He has harmed this country in so many ways. It is time for him to go. If he is not willing to negotiate for the betterment of this country then it is time for him to step down or for the people to show him the door. Please google “Glenn Beck” to see the list of Non-government funded programs and individuals who he has hurt in this process.
Hey Obamabots, are you still happy with this perah adom?
