He should just lay the blame at Obama’s feet - where it belongs.

I can hardly wait to watch Tammy Faye come out in front of the cameras boo hooing in his hanky and calling the whole thing off.

from what I just hear that 85 bil is only about 40 bil and in reality it’s an increase

There are no ‘cuts’. Only in DC is a slight lowering of a projected increase labeled as a cut. Oh, the humanity.

So far at least, I don't think Boehner plans to cave. I think Obama's gambit to blame Republicans into folding and raising taxes isn't working as planned...yet. The reason is because the public doesn't seem to care. The public has reacted to these dire predictions with a collective ho-hum.

Let’s start a poll on which minute of Bonehead’s speech will contain his surrender to the Obamadork/felon/cretin.

Boehner is slime.

Gutless slime.

Cojoneless slime.

Pure and unadulterated drunken slime.
