This is true, but he is an inefficient negotiator. I truly believe that he led Reid and the libs on a ride that they probably did have a deal earlier, only to be saved by his aides who reminded him it was political suicide.
Watch on RollCall how the House vote goes once the details of the agreement are in.
He got a stopgap. The 2011 spending bill and 2012 aren’t passed yet. We will see what kind of negotiation goes on there. People simply can’t expect to get everything. But, we can hold their feet to the fire and hope to get some things which is better than when Pelosi was in charge and wouldn’t even talk to our side. As long as Boehner delivers in the end, I’ll stay supporting him. He can’t be expected to make the Democrat senate led by Harry Reid be reasonable.
