Blunt: The Democrats are at fault for potential shutdown

Sen. Roy Blunt says he doesn't want the federal government to shut down, but if it is, it's the Democrats' fault:

"We're facing a potential government shutdown, thanks to President Obama and Senate Democrats' failure to lead and their refusal to come to the table and support real spending cuts," Blunt said in a statement. "We cannot continue spending money we don't have, and we have a responsibility to ensure Washington is living within its means just like every family and job creator in Missouri
