Republicans are not backing down, Boehner said on Monday morning. "The House has done its work," he said on the House floor, referring to the bill passed by the House on Saturday that would continue funding the government while delaying the health law known as Obamacare for one year and repealing a tax on medical devices. He urged the Senate to pass this bill. There were no sign of negotiations after a quiet Sunday marked by the two parties trying to pin blame on each other for a looming shutdown. The recriminations continued early Monday, as Republicans accused Obama of ignoring their pleas for negotiations. "This president hasn't been involved at all with the leadership or with the Congress," Representative Matt Salmon, an Arizona Republican, told MNSBC's "Morning Joe" program, adding that Obama has not contacted Boehner in more than a week.
