“The president always talked about balance, there had to be some fairness in this,” he said, grimly. “This can’t be all cuts." WHY THE HELL NOT???
Obama already got his tax increases with Obamacare. He just wants a deal.
In case no one noticed, barry met with the dims this morning. I would be willing to bet the orders from barry were something like:
We are going to announce that we are close to deal this afternoon and no matter how great you think it is: cry, whine, rend your garments and flagellate yourselves in public over the unfair deal that I am about to convince the stupid republicans to sign-off on.

Yes Reid, because your Government is incapable of cutting its budget like the American people. we must ask the American people to cut back on even more of their budget to make up for your unwillingness to do the same.
Yes we know Reid its all about you the Government, we the people are just pawns who exist for no other propose then to slavishly pay your taxes and obey your orders.
It’s REALLY hard to tell ... BUT ... I have pretty much predicted the outcome WOULD be exactly this:
- a small deal that is spending cuts only
Why?
BECAUSE THE HOUSE GOP IS HOLDING FIRM AND WONT PASS ANYTHING ELSE!
1) Gang of 6 ‘deal’ is NOT ready for a vote.
2) McConnell plan is DOA in the House.
3) Tax hikes are DOA in the House.
4) Cut, Cap and Balance has majority House support and will get almost 50 votes in the Senate.
5) Obama has threatened to veto Cut, Cap and Balance.
The ONLY option left is a small debt ceiling raise combined with some significant spending cuts. So they do a 6 month extention, promise to discuss a ‘grand bargain’ and pass some spending cuts.
Either Obama gets NO deal
