>> reporter: scott, we know the meeting lasted a little over an hour and ended in an impasse. speaker boehner has just said it was polite but the president stuck to his position of not negotiating over the shutdown. in an interview earlier today, mr. obama described the shutdown as entirely unnecessary and himself as exasperated. >> if john boehner, the speaker of the house, puts a bill on the floor to reopen the government at current funding levels, so that we can then negotiate on a real budget that allows us to stop governing from crisis to crisis, it would pass. the only thing that is stopping it is john boehner right now has not been willing to say no to a faction of the republican party that are willing to burn the house down because of an obsession over my health care initiative. >> reporter: scott, the president also warned that if republicans are unwilling to raise the nation's borrowing level when it runs out in about two weeks and then default on u.s. government obligations, then, in his words, we are in trouble. >> pelley: senior white house correspondent bill plan
