WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House reacted positively on Wednesday to a deal to fund the U.S. government through September 2016, saying that it met U.S. President Barack Obama's priorities without including "hundreds of needless ideological riders."
"The president's team is still reviewing the text of omnibus, but it appears to meet the priorities the president outlined first at the beginning of this year," said Jennifer Friedman, a White House spokeswoman.
