The highly-anticipated meeting came and went without any immediate clue from congressional lawmakers as to whether they had made any progress toward resolving the impending onset of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts set to take effect on Jan. 1.

But the president is scheduled to deliver a statement from the White House at 5:45 p.m. ET.

A protracted stalemate between Obama-led Democrats and congressional Republicans had prompted Friday's last-ditch meeting.

Does it get by you that everything out of media and BO’s mouth is negativity towards house republicans? Obama just ended his “speech” with its not fair that the middle class will suffer because people can’t do their job. Now just what kind of impact do you think this lie will have on the republicans? They don’t have a snowballs chance in hell of getting anything out of this mess. They get bashed 24/7 we don’t need it on this conservative website.

The corksucker walks off the podium without taking questions? Now I understand the meaning of “pompous ass” that my mother would shout at him before she passed.

OBAMA: "I've tried to work with the Republicans but they are too determined to raise taxes on the middle class and give their rich buddies big tax cuts..."

The campaign speech was over. No need for him to answer questions. Besides, he’s Der Fuehrer. He can do whatever he wants..

The tax cuts are already in place for the middle class. All he has to do is keep them. Why is it so hard for the Republicans to make that case?

The GOP is getting played by this. I have little hope for the 2nd amendment attacks that are coming.

The DC Rino HQ bunch has had it their way for too long. Call a spade a spade.

The Boehner Bunch has already given the signals that they will cave.... Nothing good will come of this whole mess.

So he tells us that tax increases are necessary to fix the budget...ends up with much larger increase than just 250K+ incomes.
Now when he asks for the debt ceiling to be increased, it should be a resounding NO. He has more than he asked for with the tax increases. It’s not a spending problem but an income problem and he got more than he asked for. (This explanation is the one for the libtards) For the rest of us, he really did get more than he asked for...and so did we.
