"The Republican House of Representatives chose to shut down a government they don’t like over a health care law they don’t like," he explained in his weekly address.

Last week, the Democratic-controlled Senate rejected a House Republican effort to tie the continuing resolution to a one-year ObamaCare delay.

"There’s only one way out of this reckless and damaging shutdown: pass a budget that funds our government, with no partisan strings attached....Stop this farce. End this shutdown now," he urged.

The president also described how the shutdown has impacted more than 800,000 furloughed workers, delayed benefits and disrupted government services. He recalled nearly 30,000 letters he's received from suffering Americans in the past days as 'heartbreaking.'

In this week’s address, President Obama saidhat Republicans in the House of Representatives chose to shut down the government over a health care law they don’t like. He urged the Congress to pass a budget that funds our government, with no partisan strings attached. The President made clear he will work with anyone of either party on ways to grow this economy, create new jobs, and get our fiscal house in order for the long haul – but not under the shadow of these threats to our economy.
