- During today’s media briefing, White House press secretary Jay Carney was asked whether President Obama would donate his salary during the shutdown to charity, as more than 70 members of Congress are doing.

Carney implied that Obama won’t: “Our position is that the government should be open.”

Carney added that the administration hopes Congress would authorize back pay for furloughed workers.

“It’s the right thing to do,” Carney said.
