Obama puts blameon HouseRepublicans forshutdown

Obama blame s

government shutdown

on 'ideological crusade'

Will the shutdown be the

Tea Party's undoing?

government shutdown entered a second day with no

end in sight to the funding row in Congress that

triggered it.

Obama is expected to leave on Saturday for summit meetings in Indonesia

and Brunei. Malaysian media quoted Prime Minister Najib Razak as saying

he would now skip a subsequent visit to Kuala Lumpur. His last stop, in the

Philippines, also now looks in question.

The president would thus be able to return home just days before an even

bigger crunch in Congress, which will put the United States at risk of

defaulting on its debts if it does not raise the U.S. public debt ceiling.

The fight between Obama's Democrats and the Republicans over the

government's borrowing power is rapidly merging with the standoff over

everyday funding, which has forced the first government shutdown in 17years and forced hundreds of thousands of federal employees to take

unpaid leave.

The White House announcement followed a fruitless day on Capitol Hill,

with Congressional Democrats and Republicans coming no closer to

resolving their differences.

Obama accused Republicans of taking the government hostage to

sabotage his signature healthcare law, the most ambitious U.S. social

program in five decades, passed three years ago.

Republicans in the House of Representatives view the Affordable Care Act

as a dangerous extension of government power, and have coupled their

efforts to undermine it with continued efforts to block government funding.

The Democratic-controlled Senate has repeatedly rejected those efforts.

The standoff has raised new concerns about Congress's ability to perform

its most basic duties and threatens to hamper a still fragile economic

recovery.

What will be shutdown?

"This is a mess. A royal screw-up," said Democratic Representative Louise

Slaughter of New York.

LANDMARKS CORDONED OFF

As police cordoned off landmarks such as the Lincoln Memorial, and

government agencies stopped functions ranging from cancer treatments to

trade negotiations, Republicans in the House moved to restore funding tonational parks, veterans' care and the District of Columbia, the capital.

An effort to pass the three bills fell short on Tuesday evening, but

Republicans plan to try again on Wednesday. They are likely to be defeated by the Democratic-

controlled Senate.

"That's important - a park? How about the kids who need daycare?" said Democratic

Representative Sander Levin of Michigan. "You have to let all the hostages go. Every single one

of them."

The shortening of the Asia trip, designed to reinforce U.S. commitment to the region, is the first

obvious international consequence of the troubles in Washington. There was no immediate

confirmation from the White House that plans had been changed.

"They've shut down the government over an ideological crusade to deny affordable health

insurance to millions of Americans," Obama said on Tuesday.

Republicans said Obama could not complain about the impact of the shutdown while refusing to

negotiate. "The White House position is unsustainably hypocr itical," said Michael Steel, a

spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll indicated that 24 percent of Americans blamed Republicans, while 19 percent

blamed Obama or Democrats. Another 46 percent said everyone was to blame.

VETERANS PASS BARRICADES

Republicans said their latest proposal would help elderly veterans who earlier on Tuesday pushed

past barricades at the National World War II Memorial to get into the site.

"They're coming here because they want to visit their memorial, the World War II memorial. But no,

the Obama administration has put barricades around it," said Republican Representative Mike

All three bills won support from a majority of the House, but fell short of the two-thirds vote needed

to pass under special rules that allow quick action. Republican leaders plan to bring up the bills for

a regular vote on Wednesday. Obama said he would veto the bills if they reached his desk.

The veterans in question had gotten in to the memorial with help from several Republican

lawmakers. But they did not seem interested in taking sides.

"It's just like a bunch of little kids fighting over candy," said George Atkinson, an 82-year-old

veteran of the Korean War. "The whole group ought to be replaced, top man down."

The selective spending plan appeared to temporarily unite Republicans, heading off a split

between Tea Party conservatives who pushed for the government funding confrontation and

moderates who appear to be losing stomach for the fight.

Representative Peter King, a New York moderate, estimated that more than 100 of the chamber's

232 Republicans would back Obama's demand to restore all government funding withoutconditions. That would be enough to easily pass the House with the support of the chamber's 200

Democrats.

The shutdown closed landmarks including access to the Grand Canyon and pared the

government's spy agencies by 70 percent. In Washington, the National Zoo shut off a popular

"panda cam" that allowed visitors to view its newborn panda cub online. In Pennsylvania, white

supremacists had to cancel a planned rally at Gettysburg National Military Park.

MARKET REACTION

Stock investors appeared to be taking the news in stride on Tuesday, with investors confident a

deal could be reached quickly. The S&P 500 closed up 0.8 percent and the Nasdaq Composite

gained 1.2 percent.

But the U.S. Treasury was forced to pay the highest interest rate in about 10 months on its short-

term debt as many investors avoided bonds that would be due later this month, when the

government is due to exhaust its borrowing capacity.

A week-long shutdown would slow U.S. economic growth by about 0.3 percentage points,

according to Goldman Sachs, but a longer disruption could weigh on the economy more heavily as

furloughed workers scale back personal spending.
