With all due respect, BULLSHIT. All he had to do was work with the conservatives in the House and pass a bill to extend ALL the Bush tax cuts, and then adjourn the House after they passed it, and then leave it on Reid's desk.
With just a little PR, the Pubbies could have said "look what we did, but Reid's Senate wouldn't even consider it", much less submit a budget in the last 4 years. Boehner & Co. have not one testicle among the bunch. They are still afraid of how Clinton claimed the Pubbies were responsible for shutting down the Fedgov, when it was actually Clinton.
Keep your Boener. I'm done with the Republican party. Even many of the TEA Party newbies are falling in line after your bud fired a couple of them. And no, I don't care if that gives more to Dimosocialists. The takers have taken over. I'm okay with a complete melt-down.
The house passed that bill already, last August, and it has been sitting on Reid's desk ever since. That is the bill that Reid said was DOA.
