Obama Shutting Down Government

According to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, President Obama is planning to veto another continuing resolution, resulting in the shut down of the government.


"I've just been informed that President Obama has threatened to veto the only bill before us to keep the government functioning ahead of tomorrow's deadline," Cantor said in a prepared statement. "If the President vetoes this bill and shuts the government down, our men and women in uniform serving in Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world will not be paid. ... I urge the President revisit his decision and work with us.""
