President Obama said Monday he is “eager and ready” to negotiate with Republicans on the budget and other issues, but not until the House GOP votes to re-open the government and increase the debt ceiling.
“I’m happy to talk to Republicans about anything,” Obama said during a visit to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he took his campaign against the shutdown now in its seventh day.
While some 200 FEMA staff members were recalled from furlough — some without pay — to prepare for Tropical Storm Karen in the Gulf of Mexico, at least 100 of them will now have to be re-furloughed, Obama said.
