Boehner, Obama Fail to Reach Budget Deal After Meeting By JARED A. FAVOLE And DAMIAN PALETTA
WASHINGTON—House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) on Tuesday said no budget deal was reached after meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House, raising the stakes ahead of a possible government shutdown at the end of the week.
The White House earlier said it ordered top officials at multiple federal agencies to ensure contingency plans were ready for a potential partial shutdown.
"While there was a good discussion, no agreement was reached," Mr. Boehner's office said in a summary of the meeting that he had with Mr. Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and other congressional leaders.
The meeting was seen as a last-ditch effort to avoid a government shutdown. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said ahead of the meeting that Mr. Obama "believes very strongly that an agreement is within reach."
Those hopes appeared dashed, although Mr. Boehner said Republicans want to resolve "last year's budget mess in a manner that will help to remove uncertainty for private-sector job creators."

You don’t deal with the devil or his minions.
No doubt Obamao told Boehner who won.
Shut it down and take the credit.
FUBO you cowardly SOB!
Boehner is now one-up on Newt Gingrich (who, as you’ll recall, emerged from a similar meeting with Bill Clinton’s footprints all over his back).
No around the clock negotiations?
Where is the Kenyan’s fierce urgency of now?
Time to light up the phones! Damn you, Kenyan!
The meeting came to an abrupt ending with Obama having the last word: “Tissue, John?”
He has golf and vacations and parties all that to attend to. There’s only so much time for the messy and difficult business of running a country.
In other words, Hussein is a failure. Again.
Shouldn’t the pubbies be pounding the Dims that the reason this is a budget crisis is because the Dims failed to even bring up a budget resolution during the last Congress?
Ryan made that point this morning. Every repub makes that point when giving a presser.
You can’t expect the msm to notice, can you?
This better not interfere with Wed.party nite!
"No thanks, I'll just blow my nose in your hair"
“House Speaker John (Nancy boy) Boehner (R., Ohio) ,
Grow a set of balls and shut the damn gub mint down.
Quit spending MY MONEY on crap./
Now, Boehner, if the Democrats want a one week extension, change it from $12B to $24B and not a penny less. Screw those America destroyers and their hate America POTUS Obama.
Tell Obama to take a hike!
Perhaps the President needs to be invited to a meeting in the Speakers office.
The invitation alone should provide an interesting change of pace
