President Obama Urges GOP to Abandon 'Ideological Crusade,' End Shutdown (ABC News)

Congressional Republicans are 'demanding ransom' by refusing to fund the government unless Democrats agree to alter the nation's divisive health care law, President Obama said in a Rose Garden address today.

'They're shutting down the government over an ideological crusade to deny affordable health care to many Americans,' Obama said, flanked by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and beneficiaries of the health care law's new provisions.

'They are demanding ransom just for doing their job,' he added. "This Republican shutdown did not have to happen."
