So Obama, he of "it's the law, not changing it", wants us to give him everything and trust afterwards he'll be open to changing? Come on…

Obama called the Speaker about an hour ago. Says he STILL won't negotiate with Boehner. (As reported by @EamonJavers.) Prez is NOT a leader.

So, Obama calls Boehner to say there will be no negotiations, but it's still our fault. Got it.

Let's be clear (TM), Obama has only reached out to Republicans to tell them that he won't negotiate. But it's the GOP shutting down gov.

Obama is to trying to negotiate terms of a negotiation now.. My question is with what capital? A broken website & 43% approval rating?
