Obama: There Will Be a Government ‘Shutdown Threat Before Christmas’

(CNSNews) - In his weekly address on Saturday, President Barack Obama warned that there will be another government shutdown threat two weeks before Christmas and said he “will not sign” a short-term spending bill.

The continuing resolution that Congress passed this week runs until Dec. 11. If President Obama does “not sign” the spending bill Congress sends him to fund the government after that date, Obama will shut down the government.

The government will not be funded until Obama signs an appropriations bill passed by Congress.
