He’s out of his flippin’ mind.

President Obama said Monday he is “eager and ready” to negotiate with Republicans on the budget and other issues, but not until the House GOP votes to re-open the government and increase the debt ceiling.

“I’m happy to talk to Republicans about anything,” Obama said during a visit to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he took his campaign against the shutdown now in its seventh day.

While some 200 FEMA staff members were recalled from furlough — some without pay — to prepare for Tropical Storm Karen in the Gulf of Mexico, at least 100 of them will now have to be re-furloughed, Obama said.

“Their job has been made more difficult,” Obama said during remarks to FEMA employees, praising them for performing their duties under “less than optimal situations.”

Obama again called on the Republican-run House to pass a new spending plan and raise the debt ceiling with no conditions.
