A day after the House postponed its vote on Speaker John Boehner's Budget Control Act, Washington remains at a stalemate. Follow our live blog below for the latest developments.
9:10 a.m. The White House announces that President Obama will deliver a statement at 10:20 a.m.
9:08 a.m. Hotline's Sean Sullivan reports that 22 Republicans are still no votes. He'll be updating the whip count all day, which can be found here.
8:49 a.m. Lawmakers are reacting to last night's events, and we're collecting that reaction here.
8:03 a.m. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., says Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s deficit reduction plan is bad, but Boehner’s is worse in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published today.

On Drudge, V. Jarrett is quoted as saying O’bummer is not getting any sleep at night...Forget about the country, thinking about his reelection chances slipping away and how he can find someone else to blame.

Obama touting Redi and McConnell plans as ones he could sign with modifications, pushing off debate on taxes and entitlement reform for the coming months. Wants a bill by Tuesday. Again threatens Social Security and veterans benefits.

He knows he cant get tax hikes, so the next thing, Obama does not want this issue to happen again this winter. Reid’s plan pushes it to 2013 after the next election.
