“The president will have a decision to make. He can call on the Senate Democrats to pass our bill, or he can be responsible for the largest tax increase in American history, “

I know Boehner is getting ragged on a lot these days, and a lot of it is deserved. Still, I think he may be playing the game better than we’re giving him credit for. Offer up a millionaire’s tax that Obama’s own party once submitted, then let Obama’s own party shoot it down.

Of course, it could be that Boehner is planning on caving again, and this is all theater, but I bitterly cling to my one shred of hope. :-)

Doesn’t matter...the MSM won’t report this honestly...so, in a way, it didn’t happen.

Nah..Boehner is a drunk, plain and simple. He cannot be counted on from one day to the next to hold the same positions. In his diluted, drunk mind he is making nicey-nice in DC and doing well for America. He’s a damn drunk and he serves none of us well.

I agree. However, if he goes any further, the GOP is history.

I agree. I think it is wicked clever! Make the DEMS & President the ones to ultimately precipitate the fiscal clift.
