A
possible federal government shutdown is still nearly a month away, but
President Obama on Saturday began to lay the blame for such a shutdown
at the feet of Republican leaders in Congress
In
his weekly address, the president said Republicans are playing games
with the economy by once again allowing the end of the fiscal year to
draw near without a budget deal in place. The fiscal year ends Sept. 30.
If Congress doesn’t reach a budget agreement by then, the government will shut down for the second time in two years.

Government Shutdown 2014: Obama’s Executive Order On Illegal Immigrants’ Amnesty Triggers Threats
Talk
of a 2014 government shutdown have already been threatened by
Republicans in response to President Barack Obama claiming he would
issue an executive order giving illegal immigrants amnesty before the
end of the year. While some in the GOP would prefer to roll back this
10-point plan, others believe a government shutdown would be enough of
reason for Obama to hold back his plans.
In a related report by The Inquisitr, a group of Senate Republicans are pressing House Speaker John Boehner to oppose funding a program contained in the Affordable Care Act, giving another reason for the GOP to trigger another government shutdown in 2014 over Obamacare.

Obama blames House GOP for imminent shutdown
David Jackson, USA TODAY 7:24 p.m. EDT September 30, 2013
"You don't get to extract a ransom for doing your job, for doing what you're supposed to be doing anyway ... just because there's a law there that you don't like," Obama said in the White House briefing room.
Late Monday, Obama spoke by phone with House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other top lawmakers, but there did not appear to be a breakthrough in the impasse that would trigger a shutdown.
