Obama, Congress stare at shutdown deadline - The Oval: Tracking the Obama presidency

Obama, Congress stare at shutdown deadline - The Oval: Tracking the Obama presidency

Once again, White House and congressional aides worked through the night on a new budget deal -- and they still couldn't nail one down.

The difference is that today is deadline day.

The federal government will run out of money at midnight and shut down many operations unless President Obama, Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, can strike some kind of deal in the hours ahead.
