Republicans control the house. We sent four different proposals over to the democrat colleagues in the senate. They rejected all of them. We asked for a conference to sit down and try to resolve our differences. They dont, they will not negotiate. I said happy to work with you mr. Speaker on a way out of this but we are where we are. Were through playing these little games on, it is all focused on obamacare. That is all its about. Bill that from last night. Now we move to today. Doug mckelway live from the hill again leading our coverage from there. Doug, at the moment is there a way out of this . Reporter bill, it is really hard to say. There is some speculation that there an escape route. It would come in the form of a grand bargain that would incorporate all the present crises from the continuing resolution, Government Shutdown to the impending debt ceiling which we hit on october 17th.
