The attacks on Boehner are just over the top, knee jerk reactions that ignore the FACT that the RATS already had a tax increase on every working American it nothing was done. So he really had no leverage to work with. We’ll see what happens when the debt limit comes up in a couple months, when the situation is reversed.
Whatever came of the 36 billion in cuts we were supposed to get from the last debt ceiling deal? Not that 36 billion in cuts amounts to anything when compared to the affects of raising the debt ceiling.
Boehner will cave, you can bank on it.
That’s what’s missing us off. He and Cantor acted all tough and then caved. They didn’t have a choice really and it’s due to their incompetence.
They should have been everywhere using any person and medium to tell Americans how we got here, what will be the result and how to fix it.
They let Obama and his acolites go on and on about their solution “class warfare” and they never hit back.
I thought Barry was a sissy but now he is emboldened to stand and pretend he’s tough and make demands appended with “I won’t accept” or I’ll only accept.
What’s Bone gonna do now? What’s his plan?
His back isn’t up against a wall so much as he is wandering listlessly and aimlessly through the meadow like a young deer foal finding everything interesting but what should be of utmost importance and acting with the urgency this damned problem demands.
Boner is a Poosy. Period, end of story.
He can’t throw a Hail Mary and hasn’t got a prayer.
He needs to get some elbow pads and knee pads because he apparently likes being publicly mounted.
Complete and utter disaster....
What color is the sky on your planet?
Boner should have started negotiations with an offer to cut spending by $2 Trillion next year and making the Bush tax cuts permanent and cutting White House funding by 70%. Then start haggling from there. Leverage comes from having a big stick, something Weepy Boner doesn’t.

YEAH!! It’s not like the Republican speaker voted for and supported the very bill that created the cliff... er wait.
YEAH!! It’s not like a republican demanded the sunset be placed in the Bush tax cut bill.. Er wait.
YEAH!! It’s not like the house controls spending.. Er wait.
YEAH!! It’s not like the house is where tax bills have to start. Er wait.
Aww the hell with it. EFF the GOPe.
You think Boehner is going to do anything to stop the debt limit from being raised?
The GOP and Democrats think the debt ceiling is unlimited!
This is what this farce was all about.
I disagree, and would have preferred the cliff
That’s the only way now we’ll ever get any budget cuts of the sort that may save us, consider that
