– President Barack Obama warned Republicans in Congress on Monday that
he will not negotiate over an extension of the U.S. debt ceiling as part
of a budget battle that will soon dominate Washington, with a deadline
fast approaching.
Pivoting to domestic policy after devoting weeks to the crisis
in Syria, Obama scolded his political opponents for threatening a
government shutdown and attempting to attach conditions to funding the
budget for the 2014 fiscal year that begins October 1.
“Let’s stop the threats. Let’s stop the political posturing, let’s
keep our government open. Let’s pay our bills on time. Let’s pass a
budget,” Obama said.
In a speech marking five years since the financial crisis that sent
Wall Street teetering to the brink of collapse, Obama said much progress
had been made in rebuilding the U.S. economy but much more remains to
be done.
