Obama would be responsible for shutdown: Cantor - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A top Republican refused on Sunday to rule out the possibility of a government shutdown next year over growing federal deficits but said if there were one, President Barack Obama would bear responsibility.
House of Representatives Republican Whip Eric Cantor said it's up to Obama to work with Republicans since they won the House from Obama's Democrats in last week's election, vowing to slash spending and shrink government.
Appearing on 'Fox News Sunday,' Cantor focused on Obama when asked if Republicans could provide assurances that they wouldn't let the government shut down in any confrontation with the White House, disrupting all but the most essential services to millions of Americans.
'The president's got a responsibility as much or more so than Congress to make sure that we are continuing to function in a way that the people want,' Cantor said."
