  Federal Times and WaPo are both still reporting no resolution.

  Obama and Boener met today, but no agreement.  And, even if they had, there's been no time for a vote yet.

  During Obama's press conference today, he essentially said there will be no more CR.  UNLESS an agreement can be made in the next 24-48 hours, then a 2-3 day CR may be passed just so that everyone has time to read/review/get through the paperwork.

  Both parties have said that they will not sign off on another CR, seriously we are almost half way through the fiscal year and still running on CR's completely ridiculous and unacceptable. I agree, cut backs need to be made, I don't know if the amount repubs want is going to do much for the deficit, but you've got to start somewhere. Both parties need to get their heads out of their I-want-to-get-re-elected a$$es, make sacrafices on both ends and pass a budget. I'm so sick of every politician making moves and decisions based on the next election and how their decisions will look to their constituents, do your dammed job and serve the people that elected you!
