President Barack Obama said there is only "one way out" of the partial government shutdown that entered its third day -- for House Speaker John Boehner to allow a vote on a stopgap spending bill without conditions.
Obama, speaking a day after meeting with Boehner and other congressional leaders at the White House, again criticized the Tea Party-backed faction of U.S. House Republicans who insist on linking government funding to delaying a major part of Obama’s 2010 Affordable Care Act health-care law.
