Cut spending AND cut taxes.

Starve the beast.

[GeronL]

Judging by how spending has soared he last couple of years, yes, he does seem to have a blank check and Boehner wants to give him another trillion dollar line of credit

[God luvs America]

Boehner knocked it out of the park tonight- smoked obama....now lets hope his actions parallel his words....

[aumrl]

Gotta say it’s the best speech I’ve heard him deliver.
didn’t even shed a tear

[ClearCase_guy]

I thought Boehner did very well.

Obama lies and talks down to people. Boehner came across as a straight talker who is trying to get some kind of solution in place, but the Democrats keep blocking one.

[Jim Robinson]

"Boehner says the solution to the debt crisis isn't complicated. He says if you spend more than you take in, you have to spend less."

Well, by golly that's what I've been trying to say. Cut, baby, cut!

[freekitty]

He shouldn’t get a check at all.

I lulz’d when Morrison called the AnnointedIdiot “...with all due respect, a liar...” =.=

[Cicero]

Sounds good. And even the AP summary sounds better than the AP summary of Obama’s speech.

“America’s president needs to learn how to stop writing checks it can’t cash” - Margret Thatcher, of George Bush Sr.

I didn’t think Boehner had it in him but he was great tonight. Bet someone had to come change little boy Barry’s diapers!

[Principled]

it was a good address on the Speaker’s part. I like what he said. But... I keep fearing a deal that has bogus cuts. A deal for the sake of a deal.

You’ve done well so far Mr. Speaker. Don’t go wobbly on us now. Hold fast and push CCB for a vote in the Senate. You ALMOST said that tonight. C’mon... let people know that solution sits in the Senate awaiting a vote. If Obama hits it with a veto then we’ll come up with something else. We have time.

Listening to Bob Beckel on FOX, he is either drunk, had a stroke or he has bambi’s member in his mouth.

[GeronL]

Boehner’s proposal today is also a joke

[doc]

Mr. Boehner before you go and make any deal give us the specifics.

[ExTxMarine]

The American people like and WANT CCB! Hold out until it passes!!

[editor-surveyor]

No debt limit increase!

We need a decrease.

[ScottinSacto]

How about we cut up the credit card while we are at it.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Simply tell the Senate and Zero that the bill, CCB has been passed by the House and sent to the Senate. Adjourn the House until Aug 15.
