House Speaker John Boehner sought to blame President Obama’s refusal to negotiate over Obamacare for the looming government shutdown.

“All the president has to do is say yes, and the government is funded tomorrow,” Boehner said on the House floor Monday night.

Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) have consistently said that they wouldn’t accept any changes to Obamacare in exchange for funding the government.

The House will vote momentarily on its latest spending bill with new anti-Obamacare provisions.
