Obama says he expects Congress will raise debt cap
In this photo taken Friday, Oct. 4, 2013, President Barack Obama speaks during an exclusive interview with The Associated Press in the White House library in Washington. Some House Republicans are seeking health care concessions from Obama in exchange for approving government financing, ending the shutdown, and want more spending cuts before raising the debt ceiling. The Treasury Department says the nation will hit its borrowing limit around Oct. 17. During the wide-ranging interview Obama didn't specifically rule out taking action on his own if Congress fails to increase the debt ceiling, but said he doesn't expect to get to that point.
