Obama has urged Congress to craft a short-term bridge bill to avert the cuts if lawmakers cannot come up with a long-term plan in the next few weeks. But asked Tuesday about Congress voting again to delay the date the sequester kicks in, Boehner said, "We're not moving it."

Boehner insisted that whatever package comes forward, it must not have new taxes in it.

"The president's gotten his revenue. Period," Boehner said, referring to tax rate hikes on top earners enacted in the fiscal crisis deal. Pressed again, Boehner repeated, "The president's gotten his revenue."

He said a solution will only happen if the president and Senate Democrats act.

Neither does the GOP from what I have seen in the last 20 years or so.

Boehner is pathetic. Obama has more of a spine than anyone in Congress. Obama has actively set out to use his second term to destroy the GOP, while he reduces America to a pile of rubble.

Anyone who has attempted to stand up to him has been crushed by the Obama media.

Here’s a clue crybaby Boehner: Get sober, then call things as they are. Obama has the guts, not the will.

I thought he didn’t have the guts to say he wants to repeal the Second Amendment?

I guess we know the one phrase that focus-grouped well for the GOPe.

Boehner lacks the guts.

Obama lacks the inclination.

Nice try, but Obama IS the left side of his party. And why would he even think about reeling in spending when the true purpose of his fiscal irresponsibility is forcing his true goal, good old Marxist income redistribution.

But at least ol' John tried to play.

Boner still seems to have a very weak fundamental understanding of 0bammy.

Boehner doesnt get it. The issue is not the deficit or debt. Obama can say he would address that with even more higher taxes.

The issue is out of control SPENDING. Our side needs to redefine the terms of debate

Boehner is the last person to ridicule anyone regarding bravery.

Anyhow, Bonehead is either lying or still doesn't get it.

Obama very much has the guts. And if it comes time to starve his constituents out, he'll do it in a second. Currently, he still needs those unwashed low info, government teet suckers to continue the destruction.

If Boehner "got it" or had the guts to be honest, he'd say that Obama doesn't have the desire to tackle deficit.
