奧巴馬將再次會晤共和黨人商談政府關閉問題

U.S. President Barack Obama and Republican congressional leaders are expected to meet Friday to continue talks on the federal budget, in hopes of ending the government partial shutdown and preventing the country from defaulting on its debt.

Friday's talks come as the shutdown enters its 11th day, with next week's deadline for raising the debt ceiling fast approaching.

Meanwhile, the political impact of the shutdown on the U.S. political landscape was illustrated Thursday by a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll of 800 people. It indicated that 53 percent of respondents blame the shutdown on Republicans, while 31 percent blame it on Democrats.

On Thursday, President Obama held separate meetings with top congressional Democrats and Republicans.

Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner's office called the talks useful and productive, and said meetings at the staff level would continue throughout the night.預計美國總統奧巴馬與共和黨國會領導人星期五將繼續就聯邦債務上限問題舉行會談，希望能夠結束政府部分關閉，並避免美國出現債務違約。

在雙方星期五舉行會談之際，美國政府關閉進入第11天，而提高債務上限的最後期限將於下週到來。

同時，華爾街日報和美國全國廣播公司新聞部星期四發佈了對800人做的民意調查，其結果顯示了政府關閉對美國政治環境造成的影響。民調結果顯示，53%的受訪者將政府關閉歸咎於共和黨，31%的受訪者認爲民主黨應對此負責。

星期四，奧巴馬總統與兩黨國會領導人分別舉行了會談。

共和黨籍的衆議院議長貝納的辦公室說，星期四的白宮會談是有益的，並表示將連夜進行工作級別的磋商。
