President Obama and House Republicans failed to reach a deal Thursday to raise the nation’s borrowing limit or to reopen the federal government. During talks at the White House, Republicans touted a plan to extend the debt ceiling for six weeks while they continue to push for deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and other programs as part of budget negotiations. The White House has not said definitively whether it will accept the plan. Senate Republicans, meanwhile, are drafting their own proposal to reopen the government and temporarily raise the debt limit before the deadline on Thursday. After a separate meeting with Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid dismissed the idea of negotiating over budget cuts while the government remains partially shut down. Reid responded to a question from a reporter.

Reporter: “Republicans were pretty clear earlier today they want to negotiate before you reopen the government. Is that…”

Sen. Harry Reid: “Not going to happen.”
