President Obama will deliver a statement this afternoon at 4:45 p.m. ET from the White House briefing room and you can live stream the address below. The President’s statement is likely to discuss the recent vote taken in the Senate striking down language in bipartisan bill to keep the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), and government funded through its, admittedly bleak, future.

Watch President Obama’s statement on the government shutdown at 4:45 pm ET here:

The Senate voted in a 54-46 measure on concessions made to the back-and-forth resolution by the House of Representatives over the weekend that would repeal a 2.3 percent levy on medical devices while delaying the implementation of Obamacare for at least another year.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has made it abundantly clear at this point in time that the Senate will not pass any such legislation that diminishes Obamacare or attempts to further delay the inevitable shutdown.

According to a CNN/ORC Poll, “Just 10% of Americans say they approve of the job Congress is doing, an all-time low in a CNN survey” showing exactly the kind of discontent that’s swept the American populous more than any positive actions of their elected government officials have implemented as a response to government funding.

The House GOP has until midnight tonight to volley some kind of bill that will satisfy the staunch Democrat-controlled Senate, who is pushing for a clean resolution that only pertains to government funding, at which time a government shutdown will take place.
