Boehner said the Dems came to the WH conference without any plan — that they have known for 16 months at the sequester deadline was coming.
Gregory: That isn’t true.
[Gregory basically calls Boehner a liar.]
Gregory just can’t see why Boehner won’t agree to raising taxes.
Boehner: We need to get serious about dealing with the spending problem.
Gregory can’t understand why the Republicans won’t allow more taxes. Says the president is committed to reducing the deficit [with fairy dust, David?].
Boehner: The spending problem must be addressed.
Boehner: The president already got his tax hikes. The problem is, Boehner repeats, is spending ... SPENDING.
Gregory remains deaf. There is no evidence that reducing taxes increases economic growth.

It is like Boehner is trying to explain economics, taxing and spending, to the Fence Post Turtle, without much luck.
Boehner is holding his own with Gregory, who is definitely carrying water for the Admin this morning.

Translation: Gregory can’t understand why the Republicans didn’t cave on Feb 28.
I’m sure the talk in the DC salons is more about Boehner’s stand than on Woodward’s comments.
Sperling’s appearance is just today’s deflection of attention (shifting the shell which has the pea under it) for whatever public still happens to be paying attention to our political situation.
I agree..Boehner did ok...but we need more “emotional” presentations on the spending and Obama care and gun control:
the Rape victims that advocated NO gun control that Beck had on his program.
Hysterical Greeks and Italians that are now devestated by their economy telling us how it would be like this for us.
Frightened seniors that their medicare and health care will be cut if we DON”T deal with the issue NOW and what Obamacare is already doing.
Dems win through emotions...we appeal through intellect and that won’t work for Low info Voters.
So Gregory is doing his job, to promote Marxism. In related news: the sun rose in the east.

Boehner needs to be the one who manages cost, being no one else will. He’s already helped diminish private sector opportunities by going along with the Democrat’s tax increase.
