President Barack Obama slammed “extremist” Republicans affiliated with the tea party Friday for threatening a government shutdown, calling on the House to vote to keep the government open and quickly pass a clean bill raising the debt ceiling thereafter.

The American people have worked too hard “to see extremists in Congress cause another crisis,” the president said.

Obama began his statement Friday saying that he had just spoken with Iranian President Hasan Rouhani — the first such direct communication with the nation since 1979 — in hopes of reaching a negotiated settlement on that nation’s nuclear program.

The president took time at the end of that announcement to say he is prepared to negotiate with Republicans over the nation’s finances, but he made clear he wouldn’t do that with the threat of a shutdown or a potentially catastrophic debt default looming in a couple of weeks.

He reiterated that he would not gut his signature health care law, and said that while he is interested in ideas Republicans may have to improve it, he won’t take them up under the threat of a shutdown.

“House Republicans will have to decide whether to join the Senate and keep the government open or shut it down,” he said.

Obama warned that the “grandstanding has real effects on real people,” including military personnel who will not get paid on time and loans that will be frozen.
