John Boehner: President Obama Has to Negotiate
Doesn't want to
House Speaker John A. Boehner on Sunday defiantly rejected calls to reopen the government and raise the federal debt limit, warning that the nation is headed for a first-ever default unless President Obama starts negotiating with Republicans.
"That's the path we're on," Boehner (R-Ohio) said on ABC's "This Week." Of Obama, he added: "He knows what my phone number is. All he has to do is call."
