Obama Willing To Make Short-Term Deal

President Obama stated in a Tuesday news conference that he’s willing to make a short-term deal to reopen the government and raise the debt limit.

But Obama indicated the deal would have to be a “clean” bill to raise the borrowing limit and fund the government, something he has repeatedly demanded.

That has been a hard sell with Republicans, who have demanded changes to ObamaCare and spending cuts in exchange for funding the government and raising the debt ceiling.

The president told reporters Tuesday he would “talk about anything” with Republicans if they passed short-term bills to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling.

But at the same time, the president reiterated that the administration was “not going to pay a ransom.” “Having such a conversation, talks, negotiations, shouldn’t require hanging the threats of a government shutdown or economic chaos over the American people,” he said.
