The White House Phone Booth says, please deposit $7 Billion for the next three minutes...
As a government shutdown looms (cue scary music) President Obama made it clear he intends to be tough and engaged. Right after he gets back from a campaign and fund raising trip to Philadelphia and NYC.
![[White House Phone Booth]](http://wyblog.us/images/white-house-phone-booth.jpg)
But, he did spare
three whole minutes to converse with House Speaker John Boehner
via telephone this morning.
President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) had a brief phone call Wednesday as a government shutdown loomed, and Boehner told the president he is "hopeful" a spending deal can be reached, the Speaker's office said.
"The Speaker reiterated that the House's goal is to prevent a government shutdown and make real cuts in spending, which the Speaker has argued is necessary to support private-sector job creation and boost confidence in the nation's economy," a readout from Boehner's office said. "He told the President he remains hopeful a deal can be reached and that talks would continue."
The call, which Obama initiated, last approximately three minutes, Boehner's office said.
While picking up lunch from the deli I caught some random talking head on Fox who said the two sides are $7 billion dollars apart. Republicans are pushing for $40 billion in spending cuts, Democrats have already agreed to $33 billion.
C'mon guys, cut some more. I know you can, I know you can!
Or else don't act surprised when the people tell you, your three minutes are up!
