President Barack Obama spoke with House Speaker John Boehner on Friday but did not wholly accept the House Republican plan to open government, raise the debt ceiling and open budget talks, sources said.

-snip-

Senior Republican sources say Obama is amenable to changes to mandatory and discretionary spending, but needs Republicans to commit to increasing governmental revenue.

increasing governmental revenue.

No. The government gets plenty of revenue. Stop spending us into bankruptcy.

Remember.....it’s not ‘tax increases’ - it’s ‘revenue enhancement’.

Much, MUCH better than POLITICO’s agitprop.

“...Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., indicated to reporters that he does not support to the proposal pushed by Collins, Kind and Dent.”

As a retired Realtor this is precisely how I negotiated for my buyers......first we found a house they liked, then I had them sign a blank contract, gave it to the sellers and they would fill in the terms that worked for them.

Republicans: Get a fricking clue. Do not go anywhere near Obama. When he “summons” you just ignore him. Make him come crawling to you.

In other news: Obama also demanded that they take turns under his desk...might as well, because the RINOs are doing this philosophically if not in actuality.

There is a win-win here.

Mister Boehner should add his resignation as SOH as part of the deal.

He also wants Boehner and McConnell to kiss his butt on South Park. Spokesmen for the two say they are eager to proceed.

Let’s see:

The MSM claims that the republican party is at an all time low in the polls (due to the government shutdown)

Another poll says 53% of republicans think there should be a third party.

Let’s see 1+1=

Obama is demanding tax increases from the Ryan Plan pushed by Boehner and Cantor. You are getting the Ryan Plan mixed up with the Collins Plan.

I have a simple solution. Just increase the Obamacare premiums.

The GOP would have been better off to have just passed all this stuff off the bat. Now they have negotiated themselves into tax hikes. Greaaaat!!!!

Based on the title of the article, it seems like Obama met with Republicans just to be able to claim that he met with Republicans but having no intension to compromise with Republicans. If such was the case then the Republicans fell into a PC trap imo.

I think Reggie Love is out of a job now since Boehner, Ryan and Cantor are serving in that role for free.

I hope all those that vilified me when I suggested this is how they would cave.... slowly, will post me back and say, “You were right after all. Boner did end up dropping the Obamacare issue, re-opening the government and extending the debt limit.”

We were told, “It’s not caving. Learn the facts. He is only offering to delay Obamacare and that puts it in an election year. The House won’t budget any further..... yea right.
