Keep chasing that can, John & Mitch! Pay no attention to the string that Barry's tied to it!

House Speaker John Boehner lashed out Friday at President Barack Obama, saying negotiations to avoid the "fiscal cliff" are "almost nowhere."
Boehner spoke after Republicans disclosed that the White House was $1.6 trillion in tax increases up front, as well as $50 billion in additional stimulus spending. (Read More: Speaker Boehner Discusses 'Fiscal Cliff.')
Boehner said the plan would be a "crippling blow" to an economy that is still struggling to find its footing.
"There's a stalemate. Let's not kid ourselves," the Ohio Republican told reporters. "Right now, we're almost nowhere,"
Even so, he added, he was determined to continue working with Obama.
A half-trillion-dollar combination of governmental spending cuts and tax increases for all Americans would automatically go into effect in January, threatening to send the country back into recession. Obama is pressing for an extension of Bush-era tax cuts only for individuals making less than $200,000 or families making under $250,000. He wants a tax increase for the wealthiest Americans.
A tax increase on middle class families would be like a "lump of coal" for Christmas, Obama said Friday during a campaign-style visit to a toy factory in Pennsylvania.

“We’re ‘almost’ nowhere. — John Boehner
Talk then about the “almost”. I am curious what “almost” means.
I missed Rush today. (Very unusual for me, too). But did he say what he thought the answer is?
“the White House was $1.6 trillion in tax increases”
Is that “over ten years”?
Nowhere follows Boner like dirt follows Pigpen.
0’Br0nc0 falls on America like a ton of bricks.
Totally specious.
“The GOP could beat her to the proposal but add sequestration to the bill.”
Goodness, that is not what I meant:( The GOP could do away with sequestration in the bill:o)
Correspondence with my Congressman indicates the Dims are hoping for sequestration to gut the military and the Repubs don’t want it to happen. I hope this isn’t indications of a coming cave.
Keep chasing that can, John & Mitch! Pay no attention to the string that Barry's tied to it!
Try this: ( sung to the tune of walkin in a winter wonderland)
Walkin in a Winter Obammyland.
Leftists sing, are you listening,
In Boehner’s brain, Reid is pi$$ing
A beautiful sight,
We’re happy tonight.
Walking in Obama’s wonderland.
Gone away is the budget,
All we can do, is try to nudge it
Obama sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in Obama’s wonderland.
In the meadow we can build Rice’s snowman,
Then pretend that she is Secretary State
She’ll say: Are you married?
We’ll say: No man,
But you can do the job
If thats your fate.
Later on, we’ll conspire,
As we dream by Reichstag fire
To face unafraid,
The treason we’ve made,
Walking in Obama’s wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he’s Obama’s clown
We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the Constitution knocks Obama down.
When in debt, ain’t it thrilling,
Though your wallet gets a chilling
We’ll frolic and play,in the fascist way,
Walking in Obama’s wonderland.
Ping to an Xmas Party Bankers Song,
Walkin in a Winter Obammyland.
Big Mistake.
Never negotiate with a fascist. A fascist has no intention of honoring ANY agreement.
Boehner just doesn't get it. The collegial days of Senatry are over. Obama is out to ruin America and destroy the Constitution by derogating the authority of appropriations from Congress to the presidencey, relegating Congress to a strictly advisory role. Thats why Obama demands to control the "debt ceiling." After all he "won" the election.The three branches of government therefore must merge under Obama.
Obama wants a dictatorship, and is not worthy of the office he holds.POSHITUS.
