Obama Blames Boehner: U.S. Gov't Remains Shut Down As President's Talk With Lawmakers Fails To End Impasse (Video)
President Barack Obama blamed House Speaker John Boehner for the government shutdown, which did not show any let up in its third day, The Associated Press reported. In addition to the House Speaker, Obama also blamed a small group of conservative Republicans who want "to extract concessions in exchange for passing a short term spending bill that would restart the partially stuttered government."
