“If he [Obama] continues to refuse to negotiate, the country is going to default?” a stunned George Stephanopoulos asked Boehner.

Why was Georgey stunned? Does he think the Repubs will actually hold and not fold?

George S threw hardballs at Boehner this morning. He NEVER treats Obama like that. Boehner stood his ground pretty well.

After that next up was Upchuck Schumer, I couldn't watch it.

Just for the record Boehner NEVER shut the govt down Neither did Reid.

The White House and OMB are the ones with the power to shut it down. They did it because (choose who is to blame). People don't seem to understand that (not here).
