Yeah - that's actually how the financial media is reporting this. (Link at bottom)
I was in my car from 2-3pm and heard most of Obama's "press conference" on NPR. He spoke for an hour,and began by noting that his comments would be brief, LOL.
He then spent the next hour blaming republicans for the shutdown, while simultaneously refusing to negotiate in any way on spending issues. During the Q&A which followed, he said that the republicans were "invited to insert some language" into the debt ceiling bill about what they wanted to discuss AFTER the debt ceiling was raised, and that he (President Obama) "would meet with them as long as they wanted - hours if necessary" but he didn't any way anticipate modifying the Affordable Care Act.
Got that everyone? The president refuses to negotiate, either now or later. And "its the republicans' fault".
