 Obama, Boehner Speak for Ten Minutes On Call

President Barack Obama called House speaker John Boehner tonight.

“The president called the speaker this evening to discuss funding for the government and Obamacare,” said Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck in a statement. “The speaker told the president that Obamacare is costing jobs and that American families are being denied basic fairness when big businesses are getting exemptions that they are not. ”

According to Boehner’s office, the two spoke for close to ten minutes.

Obama harshly criticized House Republicans in a speech he made today, saying, “House Republicans continue to tie funding of the government to ideological demands like limiting a woman’s access to contraception or delaying the Affordable Care Act, all to save face after making some impossible promises to the extreme right wing of their party.”

Wouldn't it be something if it turned out to be as 'destructive' as Sequestration?  LOL!
